A Coffee Can for You (37 of 63): Parade Coffee.

I still remember when I got this coffee can:



It was when me and my one Italian friend stopped off at a convenience store to get some water to sober up after that 4th of July cookout and fireworks at our other friend's parents' house in the northern suburbs -- they're all Polish, we drank a lot -- and I browsed the coffee section like I always do, and I found this can, which I had never seen before though I've been going to stores that sell parade shit for years.

Since then, I've seen this can elsewhere. Another one of my friends when she was over to my house once remarked how she like that amid all my cool coffee cans from all over, I had just sitting there this Parade brand coffee can.

The way the label is set up, it reminds me of the playing card-guards from "Alice in Wonderland" for some reason.

A Coffee Can for You (36 of 63): Sultan Coffee.

This is one of my more interesting cans, though for all its interestingness I don't like it probably as much as I should, for some reason:



I find it odd that it says it's Greek style, since the Greeks got Greek coffee from the Turks who got it from the Arabs, but the back of the can is in Arabic, so you think the English on the front of the can would say "Arabic coffee" if anything, but it doesn't:



I got this can in Detroit like two years ago when I was visiting my grandparents and took my grandfather shopping. That was same shopping trip where all he got was five boxes of Depends and a 20-lb. pork roast that was on sale, and my dad was like, "He'll need all those Depends after he finishes off that pork roast."

A Coffee Can for You (35 of 63): Stewarts Private Blend.

This is my Scottish coffee can!:



Though, the fuckers didn't make it cheap like you'd expect.

A Coffee Can for You (34 of 63): Spartan French Roast.

Yet another store-brand coffee can:



I find it interesting that the colors dark green and purple get associated with French roast and dark roast coffee by many brands, for some reason.

I don't find the biscotti on this can's label very appetizing, by the way, though that might just be because I don't like shit with a hard glaze on it.

A Coffee Can for You (33 of 63): Saraj Kafa.

I find this coffee can very mysterious:



Not only does it have the whole different style of strap-downable lid going on, but its name is in some foreign language, I think maybe Croatian.

Interestingly, I bought this one along with the one Croatian can that has a woman on it who kind of looks like my landlord, at this one small dingy Euromart market with a surprisingly good coffee selection up in a northern neighborhood when I was up there last spring.

A Coffee Can for You (32 of 63): Brown Gold.

I don't like this can, but I love the name:



"Brown Gold"! It's almost like golden shower or something.

A Coffee Can for You (31 of 63): Delallo Cafe Espresso.

This is one of the most unappetizing coffee cans in my collection:



Just looking at its color scheme makes me want to vomit, and I get disgusted to think it's a high end can. What the fuck's up with that?

Also, just the name "Delallo" trips off the tongue like a drunk stumbles into the gutter.
