Number 5: Pull Tab cans Attachment: Not seen much since the 1980's, these cans saw a surge in popularity in the 2120's when Aspen Beer decided to bring back the "retro" style. Number 4: Wooden Ships Attachment: Weylan(d)-Yutani discovered that a controlled amount of creative self expression on the part of its employees was more cost effective for boosting morale than prescribing antidepressants. Lambert had her cowboy boots, Parker had his girly mags, Brett had his model ships. Number 3: Oxen Attachment: How else would you haul downed EEV's out of the sea? Cheap labor, and a food source: if only they could pilot commercial towing vehicles... As a side note I'd love to see the cryo tube they'd need for transporting these things. An "Ox-Box"? Number 2: Continuous Paper Attachment: Once considered as outdated as pull tab cans, these connected sheets of paper proved vital on space ships and space stations where a sudden loss of gravity could put your report to the ICC in disarray. Number 1: Cardboard Boxes Attachment: Made from 100% post-consumer waste. The Company is proud of it's recycling efforts and encourages all employees to do their part to keep the galaxy clean. |

You can ship the oxen as calves. I'm a big fan of the 'big wheel' for kids. |

they brought the push-tabs back in the mid-90s... STILL can't bloody remember the name of the lemon drink that was in those cans, but I made an astounding discovery. Artificial lemon flavouring from that + artificial mint flavour from gum = ... ... REALLY STRONG PINEAPPLE FLAVOUR WTF? |

You know, as a homebrewer, I could produce, bottle, and label, any appropriate 22nd century beer..... |

It's all good! Someone on the RPF made a printable label that fits right around a vintage can. I'm afraid I don't have the link handy though. |
