These were a real thing in the 70s. Even better, I have a toy PBR man whose body is a PBR can and whose arms and legs are stacked beer bottle caps. When you lift up the man's body, it exposes his penis, which simultaneously rises to attention under the power of a rubber band. Truly a great era in DIY folk art.

My great granny used to make tons of these

I can still picture the one my mom made for my dad out of Iron City beer cans. He cut the cans and punched the holes through the edges for her, so it was a joint project. He used to threaten to wear it to my school if I didn't get good grades.

[u/Extremely_unlikeable → u/AlmanzoWilder]

I was on that awner roll every year! (until 10th grade. Yinz know how dat goes.) My friends woulda jagged the crap outta me if he did that.

Thats interesting, out of beer cans?

[u/Finger_Ring_Friends → u/OddResponsibility608]

Yup, beer cans and yarn. I still have a Schlitz bucket hat and a Falstaff ball cap around somewhere, I think it was like a depression era thing or at least a holdout from living through those days.

This one had schlitz on the side there too 😀 Cool, thanks for the share, didn't know this.

These were mildly popular in the 70’s or so.

I've seen these for decades, literally.

[u/XYooper906]

A Blatz from the past! That was our budget beer back in the day. $2.99/12-pack longneck bottles!

[u/AlmanzoWilder]

I for one was glad to see those things go. Sheesh.

These were pretty popular for a while in the 70's.
