    At an old job I had running a short order burger place I made friends with the Pepsi guy and bought about a pallet of AMP energy drink for like $.20 a can that were expired. Ended up selling them as a special for $1 a pop (they were like $3 each in the stores) and sold all of them in under a week. I'd try Craigslist and sell them by the case for like $5-10 and you'd make a killing.

    Easy's Idea of using them as ammo was genius. I know dozens of people that would pay $5+/case to shake up and shoot in the air, I would imagine the explosion would be nice!

    Sounds like what you have is Kombucha Tea...it's a fermented tea that's really popular with health food enthusiasts. I love Kombucha, it's great for digestion. FYI...If it is Kombucha, a bottle usually goes for around $5 at health food stores. Haven't seen it in cans before.

    I wonder if pig farms could use the drink?

    I know that a lot of old bread & chocolate factory waste goes directly to pig farms.
    A friend has pigs & gets bread loaves & we grab a few sometimes, normally a spot of mold on some but the rests OK.

    Dunno if I'd want to face off with a 120Lb Sow hyped up on sugar & energy drinks though.......

    I weighed a normal size Ali can & found its 15 grams.

    I also think the idea of selling them to a shooting range is genius.

    No way would I run over the cans on my property - all that sugar will attract hordes of wasps.
