1993 NFL Miller Lite Test Cans with non winning teams on Can

[zoinkss]

I picked up some Cans today in a miller collection. I had heard these existed but was not sure.
Dolphins, oilers, saints, red skins, rams. All non championship test cans just in case they won. Dallas was the winner so those are all out there.
Some other test cans in the mix. Trying to get info on them. Nothing in the RB search that I can find.
The last can on the right is really heavy. its the one that when you open it, Bob Eucher tells you that you have won.

Nice set of test cans or "Never Run" cans! I like the Lite Amber...that one has the 0000000 UPC code on it.

The can on the far right that you mentioned was "heavy" is the Dick Vitale contest can that turns on a recording when you pop the sta-tab and depress the opening. The reason it's heavy is because it's full of SAND!! They weighted it to make it feel like it was full and seeded those into regular cases of full beer cans.
If you look at the mandatory it gives you the contest info and contest name.

I have a buyer for these but wanted to get them on record before I sold them.
They are quite unusual. The guy I sold them to is a long time friend and member of bcca. He is going to take them to the show and have them pictured.
I am already planning my trip to Louisville!

I have the Packers can from Super Bowl XXXII (Packers v Broncos). The Packers lost. I was able to acquire a full can that listed them as the winners, 2 years in a row. I once read that souvenirs were created in the 1990's for each team as the winner (sweat shirts, etc...). The souvenirs from the team that lost were either to be destroyed or donated to developing nations in Africa. Who knows for certain.
