What's so great about Soda?

Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant!

I was the same way but I’ve bought a few just because and they are nice to throw on the desk or just nice to display in general.


i definitely liked the novelty of opening something to see if I got a chase, but over time, that novelty kinda wore off and I had so many sodas and not a great way to display them :eek:

For me, I just enjoy smaller vinyl figures and the thrill behind the chase also makes it pretty exciting.

In addition to what many others have mentioned, I like to use spare cans as stylish pen/pencil holders.

Nah, thats not a hot take in my opinion. They are intended to be displayed so you should be able to throw the packaging away and enjoy out of the box!

The form factor of the soda is perfect. (I"m referring to the regular sized ones). Nothing too big and they are uniform in size. I also collect pops, but I find that displaying pops becomes difficult with the width and height of a pop. The packaging of sodas, makes it easy to display in or out of it's container.

One big appeal personally is the can art. A lot of the can art is super well done and is very aesthetically pleasing to me when its on displayed!

Thats a good point. We've come a long way from the early days of pops when they didn't have any accessories with them.

Same. It's a shame they slowed down. I wonder if sodas came before pops, if it would have blown up like they did

I read that it had to do with people opening up the sodas and leaving them open with out purchasing. Stores were getting upset.
