Best part of opening sodas?

[Karubin]

When ordering one soda on the Funko Shop and it ends up being a chase! One-can magic is real!

Yeah, I agree. One-can magic is the best feeling. It happened to me when I bought a Monopoly soda at Funko Hollywood and got the chase.

Oh! that's even better! one-can magic at the store is priceless. Congrats! I always get my cans through shipping, so opening one and it's a chase makes my day

I don't see anyone talk about this anymore, but I remember opening my first soda and the smell of it :P it was very distinct since it was a new product. Does anyone still sniff their can when they first open their sodas? Or am I alone on this one? LOL

[ddiggler421]

My favorite part of opening a new soda I flipping the pog over and seeing if I received an ap haven’t received any so far but always check by flipping that pog in the can each time

[FunkoNlove]

Seeing the chase pog!

[gastlecast]

my favorite is blindly opening the bag and not looking at the pog. If I get a glimpse of the pog, I get so annoyed with myself.

[gospeedracer]

The more I look at the one's I have makes me want more.

Oh trust me, I'm sniffing that can to no end when I open sodas
Sometimes if its particularly strong, I will keep the plastic and such inside the can to preserve it a little more.
Or for example my Stinkor chase, I kept all the plastic and such in the can and put it all in a hard stack to trap the delicious smells

[digithor]

I like my soda cold straight from the fridge.

the best part of opening soda is the sound the top cap makes just as you open it, its the sound of hope

Its like opening a can of tennis balls. that sound... that freshness... and yes! that hope

i ...just... cant... help it.

Hehe. i play tennis once a week and every game i open a fresh can of balls. the feeling is akin.

both spark a joy i cant describe.

It's funny to hear how others open their cans! My wife likes to look at the pog first and I'm always begging her to wait!

I’m glad I’m not alone!

Zack! I actually do the same!!! I like to keep the plastic bags in the can to preserve the smell too

hehe its really eye opener to know how others open their cans too! i have friends who literally dont open their black wrapper when its a common. some slowly tear a hole and peek into the bag to see if its a chase.

[Tusken]

The thrill of getting a chase or not getting one is the best part. Looks like many funatics feel the same as well.

[Serch_na]

I always loved/hated the idea of the mystery, and the fun part about the sodas is that almost everyone in that format have a chase.

[Revenant-wayfarer]

I see a lot of people who have rituals. Like shaking the pog, not looking while opening the bag. I just rip the band aid off and look at the pog right away .

[willy wonka]

The mystery is the best part but I love thow they come in the can. I have always said the packaging is part of the figure. Its nice to display them with the can

[kdmlvr]

That feeling when you get a chase! I know most of the time the odds aren't bad but it's still fun. I've been collecting for about a year and the highs and lows are there. Dry spells for months or pull multiple chases in a row. Either way it all part of what makes it fun. Hoping the sodsla line continues to thrive.

I agree, I love getting a chase.

[DFWFunkoHunter]

I've always loved "chasing the chase". I really enjoy opening blinds, but having a ton of duplicates definitely gets annoying

Definitely agree here! I love looking for that chase but my common army I build unintentionally sometimes just hurts to see. When I'm lucky and win out though my memory seems to get wiped of all those bad pulls like bam see I can get the W sometimes. It's all part of that chase and the feeling when you do great is just too addicting.

[jessishere]

It is fun since it’s a mystery. Kinda like the blind boxes but you know which character you’re getting at least.

Exactly! The anticipation and suspense when opening the can is [chef’s kiss].

[Gsanch28]

The feeling of getting a chase or just checking out the molds always spot on

[M37R01D]

Its definitely not hitting a common when you only get 1 soda hah

[M37R01D]

Its definitely not hitting a common when you only get 1 soda hah

I dunno. Some commons look better than the chases.

Thats true. The only chase i evee hit was hendrix and i wanted the common one over the chase

[Roswin]

Love the chance of a chase and the surprise when I find one. But the pop of the can is always satisfying, and I always enjoy flipping the pog while its still in the can.

[wookieepool]

definitely finding a chase is the best part. I also really enjoy adding to the family of sodas after opening. As an inbox collector, I like that the sodas I have to open and display.

[molodamus]

The popping sound the lid makes when opening the soda. Taking the sealed figure out then dropping the pog onto the table. Most of the time it flips common, but the few times it flips chase, the yell you'll hear coming from my daughters and I!

[fieldsy32]

Flipping the pog!

[lavery01]

Everyone will pretty much have the same answer, and that’s pulling a chase.

[swind15]

Sodas were a great concept by Funko. Love the fair chance at finding a chase in the wild, plus the packaging is just as important to me.
It’s great seeing a wall of Sodas at a store and know there are chases to be found.

[Revenant-wayfarer]

The best part of opening sodas is the feeling you might have a chase. The worst part is when you see you don’t .

[wookieepool]

Love the new Soda displays too

Yep, I love all the innovative ideas. Waiting on my new 3D printer to start prototyping my idea for a 6 pack soda display. I like to buy 6 packs to get my chase and I can't bring myself to part with any of the cans.

[willowbard]

Agree on finding the chase being the best part. We draw it out to keep up the suspense . Open the can facing away so can't see the pog and carefully open the bag (unless it's stuck to the bubble wrap of course)

Yeah I am the same way.

Don't look at the POG! But sometimes its so hard not to look.

[dzinction]

Like everyone else its finding out if it is a chase or not. Opening up the can, pulling out the black bag, then flipping over the pog in the can to see how happy I am going to be.
