This is one of the two cans I got at a Hannaford's in Waltham, Massachusetts:
The air pressure in the overhead bin on the way back really fucked with this can (though not the other one), and so it collapsed inward some.
So, when I got back, I kept it in my fridge and used it first (the seal had actually broken inside and the top popped off, and there was ground coffee all over my carry-on), and then before putting it up for display, I got a hammer and tried to hammer out the major dents in the can.

A Coffee Can for You (73 of 77): Cafe Altura.
I got this can when I was down in Indiana volunteering with my neighbor for Obama:
Like many liberals, the can is prone to wordiness:
Just when you thought it was over, there's more:
I associate this can with liberals since I got it at a store when I was volunteering for Obama, and because it was a natural health foods store. I think I also got an organic soda when I was there, and this raspberry gummy treat bar thing made out of wheat or gluten and with all-natural sweeteners.

A Coffee Can for You (72 of 77): Tim Hortons.
I got this one of the past few times I was in the Detroit-area visiting relatives, and either my mom or my dad (my mom?) wanted to pop in to a Tim Hortons and gets some coffee, and I got this can:
I like how the back is in French, since Tim Hortons is a Canadian company:
In my .jpeg labelling, I put the English first, since I think Tim Hortons is basically a company based out of anglophone Canada.

A Coffee Can for You (71 of 77): Migros Turk Kahvesi.
This past Februrary I was going to a yuppie vegetarian restaurant with a friend, and I popped into this Turk-run Euro-style coffee shop I'd seen before but never stopped in to as we passed it, and found this can:
I love how this can has a big "M" on it, it's like my apartment's version of the big M that Mary Tyler Moore had on her wall in the Mary Tyler Moore show.

A Coffee Can for You (69 of 77): Jewel Classic Roast.
I got this one night when I met my one Dutch friend downtown to go see a hunting-themed art exhibit opening, and then we were going to go get a drink, but he needed to work one more hour on a disseration chapter to get it out to his advisor, so he set up at a starbucks and I went to a local Jewel to look for coffee cans:
I got this one and one other one, but I can't remember which, now. Maybe it was the Hills Bros. can? Or, maybe I looked at the Maxwell House cans when I was at Jewel and knew that maybe I didn't have one of those, either (I still don't, it's on my acquisitions list).
Maybe I should start a tagging system of when and where I got each can, but the trouble is that my collection is too big now to do that, and that that would be a little much.
