My mom can totally beat up your mom.

    So the can looks like this, as you now know:

The costume - and yes, these pictures were taken ten minutes ago - looks like this:

I know my eyes are hideously red here, so don't bother pointing it out.  My mom is like a request line when it comes to costumes - I needed only say "I want to be this," and it would get made.  The "can" is just felt with the designs attached - my mom did most of them and also puffy-painted on the "twice the caffeine" slogan and the can stripes.  I drew the bar code and nutrition facts in Sharpie on white felt, which is why they are by far the worst-looking part of the costume.

You can see the "PopUlating The World" tagline that appears in the can photo here, as well as, in the bottom right corner, the "Sugar: The Real Stuff" logo, which always cracks me up.  The top of the can is a hula hoop with duct tape attaching the felt to it, and strips of duct tape going across the hoop hold the costume on my shoulders.  I'm telling you, my mom is the best.
