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!

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 \:D/

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

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.

Oh trust me, I'm sniffing that can to no end when I open sodas lol lol
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

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.

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.

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 lol.

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.

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 lol 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Agree on finding the chase being the best part. We draw it out to keep up the suspense lol. 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)

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.
