Summary

Photo by Craig Michaud. This a rare Budweiser Olive Drab can that is in my collection. This can is the olive color because it was sent overseas during the World War for troops to drink and so that light wouldn't reflect off of it and be seen by the enemy. Most of these cans were buried after consumption so there are very few of these cans still around today. Note: This is nonsense, they cans were olive drab colored to honor the military because the servicemen wore olive drab. The servicemen weren't drinking on the front lines so the enemy wouldn't have see light reflecting off of it!
