Can-A-Pop
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2016 5:03 am
I recently came across this information and wanted to share it for those with any interest.
It appears Can-A-Pop was being canned and sold already in 1953! The Collectable Soda Cans guide has it at 1954, which is the year they fully expanded their advertising, but never the less it was already being sold in 1953 in 5 states...Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington....and believe it or not I purely by fluke located a Canadian store in Lethbridge, Alberta that also had it for sale in 53.
