Just saw a press release that indicates they ran 350,000 cases so we ran over to the Shoppers and picked up 8 cases, could have had 50. They got one skid of 12 dozen. When we took one case off the skid we found a factory document like a packing slip that was dated February 19, 2010. Now that's positive thinking, 5 days after openeing ceremonies and these were made!

We just picked up 96 cans so if my math is right that's $1,920 worth of cans !! Better head back and buy the rest wink

I have tried to save Cokes in the past, Blue jays win etc...and over time it rots the cans out and leaks out. I have a good friend who has worked at Coke since high school, Canadian HQ right here in our little hamlet of East York, and Scott tells me shelf life is 6 months. A woman here at work has a husband who is an avid collector and she tells me he has a special operation for removing the beverage while keeping cans intact.

That's a nice tribute, but shouldn't it say "teams" as both our ice hockey teams won gold? The girls count too. This just from a guy whose wife and nieces are Hockey players.

Probably should BUT the famous commercial NOW THEY KNOW WHOSE GAME THEY'RE PLAYING ran first after the Womens Gold Medal Victory so I think it is a tribute to both.

My son has decided to put our's up on Ebay. We drank a few and they are absolutely awesome, rumour has it that they blended a special batch of the old Coke receipe, smooth and flavourful, almost like a fountain coke.

Anyway we are thinking about selling the cases intact. Cans are being bid from $6 on up.

Clint, send me your address in PM, we will shoot you an empty.

I had four cases of Blue Jay win Pepsi-I sold them about five years ago-only one can leaked a little over the years (more than 10 years) I still see intact ones at swap meets
