Southwest Speciality Products 51003C Dr Pepper Diversion Can Safe, 12 fl oz/ 355 ml, Red

Now this is the one you want to buy! It looks like a real can of pop! But the important part is that it feels just like a can of pop! You would never guess elsewise! Bought it for my 27 year old granddaughter! Of course it had a 50.00 bill inside!

This can safe is different from any other similar product. I originally bought it, even though it was a bit pricier, as a birthday gift for a friend who likes Dr. Pepper. As soon as I received it, I realized why it costs more: it actually has some weight to it, which makes it feel like a real Dr. Pepper can. If someone picked it up by mistake, you wouldn’t be able to tell it’s a can safe like the other lightweight, cheap versions.

I had wanted one of these for a long time. The good: It truly looks like a can of Dr. Pepper. If you mixed it in with real Dr. Pepper it would be difficult to pick it out especially if you had more than one (so you won't have just 1 odd can in a case). The price is great, cheap enough to buy several. It even seems to be similar in weight as a real can of soda. Same size as a can of soda. The bad: The SMELL THE SMELL THE SMELL! And it will penetrate anything you put in it. So I figured if I left it in the hot sun light maybe that smell would diminish. No noticeable difference after a week in the sun. This was after washing it in anything and everything I could think of including bleach ect.. So the next bright idea I had was to coat it in paint. I could deal with paint fumes much better than the smell that was emitting from the can. So I bought an expensive paint made to cover anything, that smell was still there a month later. So the last thing I tried was finger nail polish...again I figured anything would have to smell better. Well it has been over a year with the lid off and the inside painted twice and that smell is still there. I seriously cannot even smell the paint any longer, just that putrid smell that has been there since I bought it. If anyone has any other ideas feel free to suggest away. I would love to be able to use this but until that smell goes away I refuse to put anything else in the can.

This is my second one in many years. They offer me piece of mind especially when I leave cash unit for my granddaughter for cutting the grass. We know what the Dr. Pepper can is for and we never tell anyone else. Great product and great price.

Can opening is small

My twins are obsessed with our sodas. But mostly just Dr. Pepper. Maybe it’s the color. They’re a year and a half. I was worried they would bust a can so I got these. They double as a piggy bank. I put their Christmas money from Nana in there. The tab doesn’t move really. Can flick a little though. And it’s not full of cement like someone else said, this is important because a cement can will break a toe but this might just hurt a little. It’s plaster. It will dent just like a normal soda can, especially on the top where there is no plaster. The plaster gives a bit when it’s dropped. Eventually the twins will have it pretty much powdered again. But I’ll fix it with some new plaster. It’s not at all a deal breaker. The joy on their faces when they got these today. If you’re considering this for a child as a diversion tactic, the plaster is softer than those clay archeological kits. Easily pushed into with a few pounds of pressure but strong enough to roll around for hours with no damage apparently. They also suck at unscrewing things because they’re babies and don’t even know to unscrew the top so the plaster shouldn’t hurt them at all. Save your soda cans, get the baby diversion 23 (this product)

I purchased this decoy for an escape room puzzle item. What I like about it is that you can't tell it's a decoy and it has some weight to it so it feels like all the other sodas. But there are a couple of issues, only one of them is serious. First is the issue of someone finding it and pulling open the tab. Once someone does that, the can is ruined forever. The other thing is that it's supposed to screw open and closed, but the escape room player who found it was able to pull the whole rim off. The serious part is once you remove the lid, the edges are sharp. My player immediately cut his finger. It served its purpose and was a fun little decoy, but I had to throw it away because I don't want someone else getting cut.

So realistic! Going to make a great gift for my teenage grandson. Hopefully he will enjoy the usefulness of it since he has started working and has his own cash.
