Best part of opening sodas?

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

Best part of opening sodas?

Postby Joker3346 » Sun Jul 24, 2022 2:51 pm

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.

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

Yes, the chance of blind chase is exciting. Best part is when you buy one can and pull a chase. Soda definitely will remain like Pop!

When you pick up 2 cans trying to guess the weight because you are sure you have the chase - Then you are wrong still always fun

The pure luck of getting a chase and not knowing you got a chase until you open it. Unfortunately it seems my luck to get a chase Soda is not good. Going on about 30 sodas now it still no luck. In the beginning of collecting sodas I had pretty good luck. Around 1-3. Hopefully my luck changes soon.

Is Folgers in your cup?

.. sorry haha I couldn't help myself :P

But it's kind of the same feeling as opening a pack of cards. The little adrenaline rush you get before you see what's inside. Then that sudden jolt of excitement/shock that you actually pulled a chase in the wild! Great feeling.

Call me weird and crazy but I enjoy the smell
Of the fresh funko soda being opened lol
I know it’s a Smell of plastic but I enjoy it.

As well, I enjoy that excitement. It feels like opening a present (for yourself). Even when it’s not a soda for me I get excited for others showing their funko soda pull!

Unwrapping with a crazy smile, knowing there aren't that many chases you really want, but you really want this one. Then, finally getting the top off after struggling with it opening just a tiny bit but then it won't budge any further, even after you broke a nail. Quickly take out the black bag, and feel a little crestfallen when you know instantly it isn't the chase by looking at the pog at the bottom of the can. But, then you unwrap the black bag, and tell your new Soda that you do love them, even if they weren't the one.

I think the best par is The anticipation of getting a chase or not or getting multiple chases

Whether I get a chase or not, the best part about opening a soda is when I take the black bag out and flip the chip at the bottom of the can. I don't know why it feels so good to do that, but it reminds me of the feeling of when you crush a can after finishing the drink.

Maybe I should start doing that pre shake, I have bought more than 25 but less than 100 and honestly I think I’ve gotten ONE chase, then I read about people who buy just one can and get the chase. I’m not salty, really I’m not :^o :devil:

It's funny the different rituals people have when opening. I'm not a shaker/tapper. I dive right in, take the figure out, put the can out of sight and check the actual figure out first. Then I look at the pog. I hate the sound of the pog bouncing around all helpless in there when shaking lol

The best part is seeing that chase! It's pretty satisfying to say the least :D

It's the rush of the gamble and the excitement of pulling the chase you're after, all in a little metal can. I'd like to say it's less addictive than gambling, but... that's probably not true :mir1:

Yea definitely so much fun with the anticipation and hope for a chase. I like opening and then without looking inside the can, take the figure out, close my eyes, and flip out the pog onto my desk. Then open them and see what I got lol I got real lucky that my first soda purchase was a chase I wanted most (Vader soda). I’ve not bought any dups so far, just singles. Trying to keep the collection small because I’ve got no space and need to purge some

I think my favorite part of opening a Soda is the ASMR sound of the lid popping off. It's interesting, seeing people's methods of opening the can -- shaking it, flipping the open can over with the pog inside, not looking at the pog opening the black bag first. Almost like it's ritualistic and/or superstition.
