I just wanted to give a heads up the my 2011 Coke cans blew up this weekend (2 of them). Be careful if you have them with other Bama stuff.
2011 NC Coke cans Warning

They couldn't take the nonsense and just blew. I wonder if this happened to any Bama fans on Saturday watching the game on CBS.

I have a 5 pack of the 1992 coke cans, one had already leaked when I got it from a friend.

I need to remember this. I have three sitting on my shelf at home. Is it better to drain them before displaying?
How the heck did you get a 5 pack? We just moved and all my cans were fine...guess I better take precautions though, just in case.
^ I second. The motion is sent to the floor. All those in favor say "Aye."
That's why I always take a fine-tipped punch and put a very small hole in the top and then bottom of the can(s) and drain them before putting them on display. You have to look for the holes to see them, otherwise they look like unopened, empty cans.
The combination of citric and carbonic acids will, eventually, eat through the can enough to make them burst.

Thank you for the heads up. I checked all my cans and one of them had leaked all over a bookshelf (ruining only one book, thank god... it could have been much, much worse.
I have now placed all my cans in a closet with plastic bags over them.
Guys and Gals - be sure if you have cans you actually pick them up and inspect --- at first glance, all appeared "normal", but when I looked closer - one of the cans had sprung a leak and a big mess.

Yeah, I run a little water through them to "rinse" them out.
It's a bit of a time consuming process, dealing with such small holes, but it's well worth it not having any of them burst and I much prefer that method of draining to popping the top.
I work for The Coca-Cola Company here in Atlanta so I can give a little advice. The acid will eventually eat away at the can so it's best to shake the cans around from time to time.
Not the quoted poster but, yes, it very well could - especially if the cans have already been sitting for quite some time.
Sorry, I meant to swish the can around from time to time to keep the acid from settling. Don't shake it with everything you have
A lot of people here have collectible cans on their desks and they will punch a tiny hole in the bottom as one of the other posters mentioned.
