Those cans hold liquid without disintegrating?

Only more reason to drink quickly

Upon reflection it’s probably a good way to hide a bottle, more original than a brown paper bag.

Yeah, my assumption was that the can was merely hiding the wine bottle. But given the context… who knows.

Anyhow, it was a tough year and who can blame her, really.

BTW: Wally World will not open the booze case and let you carry it up to the counter to pay, you have to go pick it up at a pre arranged place and then pay for it.

This woman is likely to blame!

Whatever she smoked or ate beforehand must’ve been cosmic. I’m terribly disappointed the Walmart employees didn’t go find a plastic tiara in the toy department to crown her Queen of Wichita Falls.

Well, they can certainly hold Pringles potatoid chips without disintegrating… so…

If we’re talking outside diameters, then that may not work. What’s the can’s wall thickness? Can’t be too thin; thin wall cylindrical shapes on their own are weaker than egg shells.

As Wichita falls, so falls Wichita Falls.

Hey, it’s apt.
