After reading the title we were also like really dude, who has a soda can collection? But hey, we are not here to judge. You and the moral judges of Reddit get to make that call. People collect strange things of all kinds. My uncle collects stamps, my mom collects vintage Barbie dolls, I collect college debt... The point is, collections are valuable to people.

But to him, they are special addition Coke cans from Japan. He just moved in with OP and wanted to display his collection in their shared hobby room. He put them up without asking her first. He also knew that she wasn't a fan of the collection in general. OP was furious. She couldn't believe that he would decorate their apartment in that way without consulting her. She then tries to give him a taste of his own medicine. But did she take it too far? Keep reading to see how this soda can tale ends.

    Font - He's really proud of it, but it's just soda cans. He has more than 100 of them, but they're just...cans. He says some are collectibles, like a Dr. Pepper can with the avengers on it, or some soda from Germany, or something with Pikachu on it,
