Not sure folks will buy into it. I’m sure the millennials will think of some good use for them… or not. > **[Corona trials screw-together beer cans to eliminate plastic packaging](https://www.drinkstrade.com.au/corona-trials-screw-together-beer-cans-to-eliminate-plastic-packaging)** > > AB-InBev is testing a new can design for Corona that does away with external plastic packaging by allowing cans to be screwed together. ---

Good for Corona, too bad I can’t drink their terrible product but good for them. I slide this from the Game Room to MPSIMS actually as it is technically a beer, I’ll move it to the Cafe. ---

Thanks. Funny, I couldn’t decide. But in the end I accidentally put it in the wrong category anyway… ---

Great, a new drinking game-Poke a few holes in the bottom, pop the tops, screw them together and see how long a beer you can chug. ---

As a player drinks, their current can of beer is taped to the top of their previous cans before being opened. It is then opened and consumed from the top of the staff, making the task more difficult as more beers are consumed, not only because of increased inebriation, ... ---
