Comments/description: This can is the genesis of the whole Frothingslosh hobby craze of the 1970s. Features humorous cartoon likeness of the brand mascots and touts the Fickle Foam of this new companion product to Olde Frothingslosh. An all original can, both lids are bulged and kinked identically, indicating it was likely dropped when full. Where the beer went is a mystery as there is no detrimental sign of leakage, evaporation, or re-lidding. Faint 1-inch indent on the contents, and 4-5 small dings on the center front of the can. PA tax lid on top. A terrific, whimsical landmark of hobby history. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.

Condition

Cans may have minor canning and handling dings at the rims that are not evident in photos. Please review photos carefully for these subtle indents. Larger dings that do not show and those in other locations will be noted in the item description.
