Isn't there some kind of glue you could apply to the backside of the can, so that when he/she grabs it their hands get stuck to it?

That certainly would not consequent the same trouble you might get if you put something in the can, and if there is something good out there, it might take them a few hours to get the can off.

I will gladly chip in for the cost of a 12 pack if you follow up with this and not only find the fucker but ruin his trustworthiness.

There is a special place in hell for "fridge monsters".

The problem with putting anything on the outside of the can is you risk a friendly fire incident. The only exception would the the anti-nail biting stuff.

Friendly fire? You mean, someone wants to move it so they can get to their stuff, and inadvertently grabs it?

Hmm, me not think of that. Is there a sidebar you can put it in? That way, it's not blocking anything, and if it disappears then you really know that the stealer is having his/her way with you.

Buy a 20 oz plastic bottled Coke, open it....... and around the outside rim put a light coat of ANBESOL on it. Tighten it back up and put it in the fridge.

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Numb numb numb numb numb! :laugh:


OR....... You could put a note on it next time stating----- I already opened this and spit in it, if anyone want to drink it, be my guest.

They know who you are. You have no clue who they are. They've got the upper hand, and you're looking at escalating it?

The personal little fridge: good move.

Maybe no one else works in an office quite like mine or maybe Canadian office workers are just plain jaded and corrupt, but I am genuinely disappointed that no one else thinks that the guy that writes his fucking NAME on a fricking ELASTIC BAND and puts it on his little can of pop in the fridge is the RIGHT GUY TO FUCK WITH.

bunch of nancies.

many good ideas here folks! my mini fridge is on its way from amazon. i will keep my lunch and soda in my cube from now on. I'm still new here so I don't want to get into any big trouble since its not worth it for me financially although I would love to have the coke and mentos spray all over the bastard when they open it. it probably boils down to the bitter stuff or numbing agent. my wife just so happens to have some benzocaine at home which i can conveniently apply to the rim and sides...

LOL, I'm the type of guy that buys a case of pop for the work fridge if I wanted to a pop for lunch/break.

It is not that big of a deal to share with your co workers.

keep your fridge, and your stuff in it.

dont label anymore cokes, just put them in the fridge and do random things to the bottles, to fuck with the all the soda-stealing employees. just every once in a while, when youre bored.

Why screw with anyone in the first place? Stop being an ass, leave the guy's possessions alone. Are people just that bored that they need to antagonize other people just for the hell of it? Welcome to the working world, it's a professional environment, just like a daycare center is, apparently.

A case of soda every few days starts to add up over awhile. It's a fair amount of money to spend on sugar water.
I take the cheaper route - Kool-Aid. 20 cent packet of artificial flavoring, 1 cup of sugar (really cheap), plus 2 quarts of tap water (less than 1 cent). Result: cheap flavored sugar water, without putting any strain on our corn crops, without any of the carbonation. (I don't know if carbonation causes kidney stones or not. Coke of course says that they don't. I don't know of any reliable, unbiased studies off the top of my head which have addressed this.) The lack of carbonation makes it taste even sweeter than otherwise, too.
My soda preferences prior to Kool-Aid were a bit off the mainstream - flat and warm.

good idea in theory, but you can alway tell it's already been opened, if you could figure a way to open it without breaking the band it would work.

here's my idea but it won't be easy. if you can find some sort of blacklight powder, you could somehow make the bottom of the can sticky, then put some of the powder on it, then after it was stolen you could walk around, after hours maybe with a blacklight and see who the culprit is. then you can be slick and walk up to them one day and ask them how those cokes tasted, and scare the hell out of him by telling him you pissed in one of them

some drops of phenylphaline would suffice.

Hard call on this...I stock our fridge with soda and some go missing from those outside the department and I don't get my stock replenished equally to others consumption.

Still at 20 cents or so a can I am way ahead of the $1 the soda machine charges (about 80 cents if you take it on volume).

I drink about 12 cans a day.

Just get some habenaro/scotch bonnet peppers from the grocery store, slice them open and rub them all over the top of the can (be sure to wear gloves)

Whoever opens it will get it on their hands, not to mention on their lips when they drink it. It should burn, and if enough gets on their hands and they touch their eyes they should be crying in no time. I guess you could get in trouble, but its not like anybody would really know what happened unless you go around bragging about it.

Take Patrice Oneal's adive. Pick the Coke can out of the garbage with a latex glove and throw it next to a dead white girl. Next thing you know your co-worker is the "Coke Can Killer".
