The Can Stash! (The Pepsi Conspiracy)
I saw these over on Fuji's site a while back and had to pick up a set for my self.I love the pic variety and the vibrant blue and whites,but something about these cards bring out the Alex Jones In me.Could Pepsi have had something to do with Canseco being traded to Texas?Did they see It coming?What's with the red and blue duds?I mean,ok,Pepsi colors, but wouldn't a Mountain Dew motif been a little more apropos?In the 90's Pepsi's slogan was "Pepsi,a generation ahead".This set Is from 1990 and Canseco wouldn't be traded to Texas until mid season of 1992.Also,Pepsi had strong ties to Texas In the 90's.So much so Texas brass considered changing the teams name to the Texas Pepsi's.Although that last nugget of info has yet to be fact checked.

Some of those shots make it seem more like he's on the Cubs than either the A's or Rangers. Very cool oddball set!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that.Canseco on the Cubbies?I might have to try that on my old gen baseball games.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of these but check out the beautiful 1992 Diet Pepsi Canseco.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, btw.
