4.0 out of 5 stars very realistic, April 4, 2008

this little puppy looks and feels like a full, warm can of dr pepper. unless somebody tries to shake it (no liquid in the membrane, this is something they may want to think about) or open it, they will never be able to tell it is not a real can of dr pepper. it will easily be pushed or thrown aside by the unknowing. the inside is not wide enough to hide a passport unless you role it up but it will hide plenty of other things ie money, jewlery, things you just don't want others to find...

the lid (the silver part with the "tab") screws off and inside you have a stash spot that is as deep as the coke can is and a few inches in diameter (sorry, don't have it with me right now) but no more 2 1/4". when the lid is screwed on, it connects seamlessly to the body with no gap. the whole thing is made out of the same material as a dp can and it even has all the miscellaneous markings and such.

i just keep it on my window sill, mixed in with some old liquor and wine bottles. nobody looks twice at the little guy and all my valuables are safely stowed away. my advice, keep an actual safe with some of your valuables to fool others but keep the real goods in this guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple way to discretely store items, May 24, 2011

I bought a couple of these for my kids, they had problems with their cousins stealing their allowance money and wanted to hide it. After seeing these items, I puchased more for other uses as well.

These are made from real product containers, so they look outstanding. Without picking them up and shaking them, there is no way to tell its not the real thing. If you pick it up, it just feels like an empty container unless you have something heavy inside it.

Keep in mind, this is not a safe, nor is it secure, it is simply a tool to HIDE something in. If you keep a DrPepper can in a drawer, it is obviously out of place. If you keep the hairspray can version in your closet, it is going to get attention. I personally use this to store items in my car. You can leave a can of warm DrPepper rolling around your floorboard or passenger seat without anyone even batting an eye at it. You may lose your car stereo, but this can will still be under your seat. These are great for extra house keys, personal items (femenine products if youre a woman who doesnt want to carry them in her purse or leave them laying around your car for your date to see), obvious uses for the 'hippy' in your life. I wouldnt recomend storing something truely valuable in it, but thats your call not mine.

Couple minor potential problems:

-Make sure EVERYONE in your household knows about this, otherwise it could potentially get tossed into the garbage as an empty container. Even if there is weight inside, if anyone tried to open it they will figure it out, or just throw it away.

-Once you unscrew the lid to the secret compartment, it leaves a sharp edge. I understand that if they clean the edge up it will make an obvious mark on the outside, but beware that the edge on the opening is sharp. This is the case with all of the containers I purchased.

3.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, but... Mold?., August 30, 2011

I got this as a gift and loved it. Like most of the other reviews, there is no way to tell the difference between this can and a "real" can of DP. However, after 2 months of owning it, I started to notice mold growing under the lip of the plastic tube inside the can. Thinking it might be moisture from the dollar bills I had in the can, I cleaned it off with bleach and added a little rice to the bottom of the can. A week later, the mold was back with a vengeance. After more bleach cleaning and almost a week of no lid on, I tossed out. I will be getting another again. I'm hoping I just got a bad can. I kept it on the shelf in my pantry with a few other cans of soda.
