So I had a funny thing happen to me with the cans of these.

On an international flight this summer, I asked for a Coke Zero from the attendant. She quickly reached down in her cart and pulled a darth maul can and handed it to me. I didn’t think about it, but then realized it was a regular Coke. With an episode one character on it???

So I flagged her down when she was near and said, “Hey, I think there might have been a mistake. You said you had coke zeros, could I swap this one out for one? Also…how old are these cokes?”

She looked at the can and laughed seeing darth maul on it. “I think they are new, but didn’t this movie come out 25 years ago?”

“That’s what I thought!” I said.

“Well if you want to keep it as a collectors item you can,” she joked. I said maybe not this time. She pointed out that the can looked really close to the standard Coke Zero cans if you squint (which is true), and when they were doing meal service she just didn’t even notice.

Pretty fun little experience. I looked it up and they had just come out that week, maybe even a couple days before the flight.
