As a kid, my dad would buy the blue “oil cans” of Fosters.  One day, he decided, he didn’t think Fosters was made quite the same any more, and drew a line in the sand. No more Fosters, unless he was at a restaurant, and that was the best thing on tap.  The coolest thing out of all of it, was the cool, big can.  My brother and I would take off the top, and keep pencils or loose change in them.  Recently, I went to Ralph’s Supermarket, and saw a sale on the green “oil can” of Fosters, and decided to give it a whirl.

Appearance: Clear orange with a  fluffy, off white head.
