Empty Soda can?
At my brothers graduation party earlier, when we opened up a 12 pack of sprite we found a completely empty can. It was sealed, perfectly like all of the others expect there wasn't any soda whatsoever inside? Anyone ever had that happen before, no leaks in the case or anything? I thought that was very odd and am trying to figure out how that would even happen. The can was a little bent up of course but still not one puncture. Hmmm I wish i would have taken a photo, i'd feel like a dork calling them up about it but i'm curious to find out? Any ideas? they kept the can by the way.

May 23 09 11:24 pm Link The gas inside was vapor from civilizations passed.... secretly stored for your benefit. And YOU..... you chose to let it escape. I hope you're satisfied.

May 23 09 11:48 pm Link Maybe it was part of a contest?Did you see if anything was printed inside? I am minutes away from a Coca Cola bottling location.Being in the food service industry I knew some of the people there. I got a 6 pack of glass bottles, sealed with nothing in them lol.

I don't see how people can NOT drink soda, its soooo good, and the only juice i've found to quinch my thirst is ocean spray in gran-grape. Other than that, soda all the way May 24 09 02:29 am Link Whitleigh B wrote: If it's still sealed, contact them & they'll probably replace it.

May 24 09 02:35 am Link Distributors keep thinning out the aluminum to save on materials and shipping weight. I once had a can of Coke spontaneously explode in the middle of the night spraying syrup all over the hallway. Thankfully I found it before the ants did. May 24 09 05:47 am Link lol...I've seen people try to sell unopened empty soda cans like that on ebay.....they call them "ghost Cokes" hehe May 24 09 05:59 am Link My dad years and years ago got a can of Pepsi that was only about a quarter filled. I think he might still have it. May 24 09 06:29 am Link Whitleigh B wrote: It happens rarely -- either a manufacturing error or a micro-leak (plus time). May 24 09 07:38 am Link Steve Mills wrote:

May 24 09 07:55 am Link How do you know it's empty if it's still sealed? Is it just lighter than the others? May 24 09 09:27 am Link ocgirl wrote: LOL yes. Trust me you'd know if you went to reach for a sprite and instead got an empty sprite can May 24 09 04:54 pm Link ocgirl wrote: Is that a serious question?

Many believe thats why we're all so huge today, its in just about everything and doesnt break down in your system the same. May 24 09 05:08 pm Link HAA! I just got back from Carl's Jr and ordered a "DOUBLE" cheese burger. Guess what!? 2 slices of cheese but NO HAMBERGER! I know everyone is trying to save these days but.... WTF! May 24 09 05:27 pm Link A Sprite can huh? Must have been the work of an elf. I had a roommate years ago that worked for Coca Cola. Every Friday employees were allowed to buy up to 4 cases of factory substandard rejects for a dollar per case. His walk-in closet was full of them despite his drinking about 6 cans of soda a day. Due to him buying all this cheap soda he constantly had people trying to buy some off him. He wouldn't sell. He was waiting for the can with a finger or mouse in it so he could sue. I'd agree that yours merely slipped by quality control.

I ordered three tacos with just cheese, I got 3 taco shells with cheese in them, I always thought that it was assumed that a taco had meet in it as well.
