Coke Cans are a Joke


Feb 4, 2017, 10:58 AM

Yes I am an old alumni. I still have 1981 coke bottle, my orange soda from National Championship ( you had to open and remove soda as it will eat through the can after so many years). I even have the 1976 Pepsi Bottle made for Clemson.

To celebrate that Clemson won the National Championship, it was nice for Coke to push out the can. However you have to run all over the place to find them. That is ridiculous. There are even in non supply in Clemson. A can should not be short supply. If they come out with a bottle, it should not either. Remember you will have to open as the soda will eat through the can after awhile.

When we won in 81, you could find the bottle and the Orange Soda,everywhere.

I have totally dislike how Coke has handled this whole roll out.

I know do not buy coke. But sent letter to Coke Bottlers to show my disapproval. Hope others will follow suit. Clemson deserves better than this.

Nuff Said

I don't quite buy the idea that you have to empty them,

I have 6 orange sodas still full. they have some very slight rusting along the edges on the outside, but otherwise they are in perfect condition.

My cans started to leak. Letting you know as a warning. As did all of my friends. It took awhile, but it happens. Not to all the cans, but to a couple.

Mine leaked as well--was a mess***

My '81 Orange can leaked too. It is only a matter of time before that 1981 orange goop inside the can eats its way through the metal.

Brad Brownell: Only Larry freaking Shyatt has a WORSE overall winning percentage among Clemson basketball coaches since 1975. Let that sink in. It's Larry Shyatt & then Brad Brownell.

Ours rusted thru, we found them and cleaned up the mess on the closet shelf a couple of weeks ago. Not sure when the hole appeared. It's just a pin hole. also side of can sunk in a little. Bottle still looks awesome!

The design is an even bigger joke than availability.

It's exactly the same as Bama's from last year, except a TINY li'l Paw.

No thanks, Coke.

Re: Dates keeps moving out, any real trust?

Hope you are right as date keeps getting pushed out. After how they have handled the can roll out, lacking in trust right now.

Absolutely!!! If the coots, they never will, but as an example, if they would have won the NC. If they would have won, their coke cans would have been in such a large supply, they would be stacked in the floor all over the grocery store in every county in the state. SAD that the very best School in the state of SC, Ranked in the top 25 best public schools in the entire country.

it is pretty sorry


Feb 4, 2017, 3:39 PM

you can buy a 10,000 of them with the polar bear or Santa on them at Christmas.

They had the Clemson ones in the Seneca Bi-Lo stuck in a small corner out of public view by the employee office. Limit of 4 six packs. I just bought one sixer because I'm not greedy, and they are so meh to start with. Only $2 though (.33 each), at least they were fair on the price.

Coke shooting themselves in the foot limiting production, plus lazy design.

Since Fanta is a brand of the Coca-Cola Company - why not make a special Orange Fanta Clemson National Championship can? Better yet contact Pepsi and have them issue a special Orange Crush Clemson can/bottle...

I don't understand why they're (and that's when you can find them ) only available in SC. I mean Clemson won the NATIONal championship so they should be available everywhere. Some Clemson fans live out of state and can't buy any (unless you go on e-bay and pay $20-30 for one can)

Were these the right ones or a knockoff?
