I remember them being around for about a week..

It's this time of year that makes me think where the fuck did they go?

Were they dangerous? Were sales too bad to continue?

Yes, I know I could have a thermos but I'd like something quick and disposable - especially to take to the game.

Yeah I  remember those. Don't think they took off very well in terms of sales.

They've still got some in the Sainsbury's garage in Archer Road Sheffield if that's any help.

But they've all got milk in. Bastards.

No, but there was a lot of white powder type stuff that made a huge mess in the car and some kind of corrugated cardboard as an inner liner between 2 parts of the can...

I wanted to see how it worked!

If only the police had decided to pull you at that point. That would have been good.

Hot coffee cans are more common in Japan than coke- it's really weird. (Japan that is, and the coffee can popularity.)

Also there are vending machine absolutely everywhere, not just at shops etc but in the middle of country roads and weird places like deserteds street corners.

The coffee is pretty lush though.
