Never saw one with a twist off cap !
It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

Looks like she mashed her fingers trying to get it open.
I've seen then in coors light silver bullets, but this is first I've seen in original, but I'm sure it's legit.
The only thing I can find wrong is the can is small and it says Coors.
Looks like 1 beer and she is goofy
That’s two things, chief. But I agree.
At my age that is almost happening to me now. Of course I can blame on my age and not the beer.
Where is the can you speak of???

OH, to be young again 😛
living in Ohio Coors was the holy grail for us young fellows and gals because you had to be with in xx miles of the place to get it ( just like Smokey and the Bandit ) so any was a rare find a kid I worked with made a trip out west to Colorado with a couple buddies they brought me a 6 pack ( a big deal then ) that was about 47 yeas ago . I do not recall if it was good but the effort by my buddy and being scarce made it good many years later when it became wide spread by then it had lost its glory
but I still remember his effort for me .
Joe my departed buddy ( RIP ) said the fist carryout they came too they loaded up the trunk with Coors, the cashier said, you boys are from out of state aren't you ? LOL
Coors was hard to find in NJ, too. Near $5 per 6 pack ... a lot of money then !
A mid 70's can looked like this:
😉
I see three cans!
"Back in the day" I brought enough Coors back from Texas to Ft. Knox to pay for the gas on the trip😁
I remember those cans. You learned not to use your thumb to push in those to open the can or you developed little circular scars. However the small vent hole was a great idea and made for a smooth pour.
When we journeyed from Michigan every fall to hunt the western states Coors was the most requested bring back. We would bring back some for others but we actually preferred Olympia because unlike Coors it actually tasted like beer. Bob
+1 for Olympia ... Copious amounts consumed back in the day ! Good beer at a reasonable price, too.
Yes, good old Olympia! Remember the dots on the back of the label? If you got a “four dot” label, it meant you would get laid that night..
Mid to late 70's, yes. In high school, it was cool to have one of the openers on you key chain.
Have taken to drinking an occasional Banquet Beer recently. The taste takes me back 45+ years.

When I started to go west every year back in the '70's I would camp in RMNP on my trip to Sturgis. I would always stop in Denver and get as much Coors that I had room for to take home. I was THE MAN with my pals for a couple of weeks. Then I would revert to just cbxjeff!
An air force buddy brought back a case or 4 for us back in the 70's. Tasted like crap ,couldn't see what all the hype was about .
I understand pulsarnc but sometime just being hard to get makes things more desirable. That goes for fine whisky, autos, firearms, and women.

I compare drinking the first Coors to what it felt like to sneak beer from dads stash when I was a minor.
In the early1950's one brand of soda came in cans like that.
That COORS Banquet that the honey is holding is nasty stuff but I just drank a six of the Coors Light after some work outside. Not heavy and not bad.
I've been in the Olympics or at least I thought I was drinking that stuff.
For years Indiana was dry on Sunday. A drinking buddy of mine once told me he left for Danville, Illinois on a Sunday and sobered up in a Kansas City motel on Tuesday, surrounded by empty Coors cans.
i made a bootleg Coors beer run from Nashville Illinois to Miami Oklahoma for about 45 cases and back home one day in 1976. a buddy with a custom van[ with expired tags]. a former resident in my hometown had opened a car dealership in Miami, and was our reference as to where to get the best bulk price.
I remember those little push tab cans. Used to get a truckdriver going that way to bring back a case. Couldn't get them here then. Wasn't a great beer but like everything else rarity made us think so.
While on my sabbaticals from here I found Danny Trejo beers. "Nectar of the Mexican gods" it ain't but not bad. If I thought the can would keep the beer in I would not have drunk them. Maybe had I built a wall around the 4 pack?
today that would be a huge sale
