KEEPING YOUR PEPSI COLLECTION

• Keep cans in a cool dry place, preferable at about 25 Celsius or lower. 
• Do not store cans in places where the temperature can varies throughout the day/year dramatically.
• Make sure cans is out of the reach of biting pests/animals such as house lizards or cockroaches. One of my cans got bitten by a house lizard, spilling some of its contents onto my bookshelf and allowing lots of fungi to grow there (and most of the SW VHS I stored behind the cans also get damaged!)
• Try not to shake cans or drop it. Pressure may built in, later causing the cans to explode.
• Keep cans away from direct sunlight.
• Best Option: Keep Cans In The Fridge!

Here are the thing you will need:

• Nails (about mm)
• Hammer 
• 25ml (and above) syringe
• Syringe needle ( )
• Small bucket, glass to hold water
• Used Newspaper
• Some place flat and undisturbed to dry cans

METHOD 

• Inver can and look at the bottom rim. Select 2 position on the rim to put the draining holes. 
• Putting can inverted on a flat and strong surface, hammer in a nail into the bottom rim to about 1mm deep
• While nail still in hole, shake can and quickly invert it while pointing into the sink (or drain). Quickly take out nail and allow the drink inside to drain out. The gas inside will force the drink out. Gently press can to encourage more drink to come out
• When the pressure dies out, inverse can and hammer in another hole at the rim, preferable opposite the first one. 
• If there is still drink inside can, tilt can slight and allow the drink to drain out of one of the hole made.
• Once empty of all drink, syringe in about 50ml of tap water into can and shake vigorously. Empty can of water. Next, syringe in about 100ml of tap water and shake vigorously again. Empty can. (Repeat this as many time as you like but for me I only do it twice). Use soap water if desired.
• Allow as much water to drain off from the can. Blow into the hole to make all the water drain off if preferred.
• Allow cans to dry naturally on newspaper. Dry it in inverted position (with the hole pointing up) for a few days before turning it around and allowing it to dry another few days. Shake can and listen for any sound of water inside to check if it is really dry and empty.
• Seal off holes with cement or melted metal. Leave hole uncovered if desired.

For a faster way, shake bottle and slightly unscrew cap to allow gas to come out. Screw up tight when the drink is about to spray out. Repeat this several times until most of the gas had been eliminated.

• Unscrew bottle cap and break the seal. Empty the bottle by drinking its content. 
• Wash the interior thoroughly with water (and soap, if desired).
• Allow to dry.
• Store them where ever you want.

(Here, I may recommend filling up the bottom of the bottle with something dry, clean like pebbles or sand to weight it down and prevent toppling when the winds blow)

Below is the items you need: 

• Warm water (~70 Celsius; just mix 2 parts of hot boiling water with 1 part tap water)
• Pourer Mug (or measuring container, or teapot or anything with sprout)

METHOD

• Empty bottle of content and wash interior with tap water (soap is not necessary as the bottle will be thrown away)
• Pour in the warm water into bottle to about the height above the label
• Wait for about 1 minutes to allow the bottle to heat up and glue on the label to melt or soften
• Gently peel away the labels.
• Dry labels thoroughly
• Store labels in one of those plastic pockets meant to store transparencies. Used a white paper as backing, if preferred (but remember that after that, the labels will stick to the paper).
• Put into a binder.
