    Default Does anyone else buy the little cans of soda?

    i have just started getting them for myself. I can't drink a whole can before it goes flat, so this solves that for me. And i have never gotten to the bottom of a can of soda and had it still be cold. I sip and sip on a can for way too long for it to stay chilled. I started getting these when I started buying the kids the half pint sized bottled waters (yes, I know, not very frugal at all! bad Missy, bad!) to take with them to their scout meetings and to Sunday School in their snack bags. Its just enough water for them for their tummies and easy for their little hands. So since the smaller water bottles were such a hit with them, i gave the little soda cans a try. (the little bottled waters fit easier in the diaper bag too!)

    My Mom does! She likes to have just a little soda with her lunch every now and then and the little half cans are more than enough for her! She would waste a full can and if she gets the big bottles they are flat long before she is through with them!

    Yes we do especially when we travel anywhere. They are perfect for putting into our cooler. I buy them when they go on sale. I'm with you Missy in that I seldom finish a full can of pop.

    I've tried them, thinking that I would drink less soda that way, but it didn't work-- I just drank twice as many of the little cans! I usually finish a whole can of soda, unless I wander off and forget about it --which I am most often do by leaving one in the car.

    I bought the small bottles of water today for the kids. I packed their regular water bottles, but didn't have enough containers for as much water as I wanted to take in the cooler. We stopped and bought a 12 pack of the little bottles of water.

    Ally is still quite young and the size is perfect for her to handle.

    I have bought them for the kids. They are perfect for them. That way they don't drink as much soda. My 6 year old loves them.

    They are cute, and should be more than enough for a person to drink. I haven't really bought them or priced them, though. Are they very expensive?
