FFF Aluminum Can Add On

P.S. I also wanted to add on a fun little factoid to the aluminum can aspect of FFF. Aluminum cans should be cheered, but there is something that must be acknowledged as a trade-off to the new aluminum cans. Before, when you drank beer in college (like my Dad in the 70's), you could line up your cans in a row connected because that's how the old style of beer cans were shaped. If you lined up 4 or 5 of them, put some lighter fluid at the bottom, then inserted a tennis ball all you had to do was drop a match in and you had yourself a cannon that would launch that tennis ball a couple hundred feet. You can't do that anymore, which unfortunately means not as much drunken hilarity. However it may be safer for drunken bozos like us in college. Regardless though, it would have been awesome. That's all.

Another fact from the 70's, females use to stack empty beer cans in a pyramid formation on our window sills. Why? If someone tried to break in through the window the cans would fall and wake you up in the middle of the night. Since there were no alarm systems in those days, beer cans worked great! Amazing what ya had to do to protect yourself in the 70's BC. (Before Computers)
Someone should write a book on what to do with empty beer cans:-)
