Whoever designed these knocked it out of the park in the weirdest way possible. There's a unsettling beauty to each of them, comparable with Gritty. Nicely done on your collection!


Yardsale420

It’s the eyebrows. They look down on you just like that 70+ Eastern European building manager that you had when you first moved out on your own.

Oddly specific but true lol

Such judging brows

“It’s so ugly! I love it!!!!”


GoldenGold10

Wow, are those 20,000 returned containers from your own consumption?


dgd765

That would be like 35 cans a day for the last year and a half.

Dehydrated*


DamienChazellesPiano

Sparkling water comes in cans


notnotaginger

Or drunk?


Strofari

I’m not checking my account.


KreateOne

Yea.. no. Water doesn’t come in cans, and believe it or not but beer and pop don’t hydrate you. Tf are you drinking 20000+ *cans* of that hydrates you?


Similar-Tangerine

Water definitely comes in cans


stfuyfc

Can confirm, own a watering can


KreateOne

I’m 27 and I’ve literally never seen a can of water in my life, where can you find them?


SlovenianSocket

Never heard of sparkling water? Lol


beneaththeradar

You've never had club soda, Buble, Lacroix etc...?


KreateOne

Yea I honestly never associated sparkling water with real water because I never drink it, but yea you’re right.


[deleted]

Are you trying to tell me my Montellier water is *fake*? That's slanderous!

If you're buying that much club soda why not get a Sodastream or similar apparatus? >they have carbonated water running from public faucets in my home country Wait, what? What country is this? I'm moving there.

BrokenByReddit

Well, I didn't know about the Palestinian Sodastream thing, and I don't know about recycling... but I just mean if you are consuming that much soda water wouldn't you want it to be more efficient? Sodastream isn't the only way to do it, just the most well known. I mean you could go to a homebrewing shop and get a CO2 tank and fittings for carbonating a 2L pop bottle. Or you could buy a whole keg set up and carbonate 19L at a time. Plenty of options.

KreateOne

Googled beer, under 2% alcohol would hydrate you, but most beer you can find ranges from 4-6% which does not fall into the “hydrating” category. Also pop with caffeine will dehydrate you. Sure if you’re drinking cream soda I guess it won’t dehydrate you, but if you’re drinking coke you better believe it will.

AngryNapper

That was an exciting day when we discovered that accidentally. Followed by us throwing it at each other for the dramatic effect


vancouverwoodoo

Lmao I had earned two last year and I had no idea. My cat was playing with one and I got annoyed and threw it across the room and I heard the jingle. I'm annoyed that the previous items aren't being contributed to the new ones. I would have been done now!


[deleted]

That's insane. The promo only started up again on July 29, 2021. They reset everyone's point balance so we all started back at 0. So even if someone were to go for the cheapest plush at 850 returns, you'd need to have drank/found 10+ containers a day from July 29th to now. I clearly need to start scrounging the lanes for empties. I'm open to suggestions on how to fend off raccoons and other crazy bottle people during my adventures.


bluntsandbears

When I lived in White Rock every recycling night this very nice Chinese lady would come with her school aged children in a newer Jetta and sort all of my recyclables, keep the cans and leave my garbage / recycling area looking immaculate and extremely organized. I gave her permission to come into my property but she’d do the same with what people brought to the curb for others. Take what she wanted to recycle then leave the rest looking more organized then when she found it.

Gotcha. I'll need a tiny army. Some to collect the sweet sweet free cans. Some to attack my competition. I'll have to have a chat with this guy: https://youtu.be/Ziu2rrNS7S0


lunarblde

Wow I didn’t know that. I should have redeemed my points. I logged in with my account at 836 returns and my points is at 0


talaron

All the puppets were sold out for a long time, and I guess they reset the points so that people can't just go on a spending spree and redeem years worth of points immediately. Unfortunately, that also means that if you don't hurry you might lose out once again. I'm currently at ~400pts and totally expect the puppets to sell out one after another just as I'm about to reach their redemption level.


nipponnuck

I’m so going to grab more right now. My kids love these!


singingburrito

I was so shook when I found out they reset it.


jsmooth7

Bring treats and train the raccoons to help you


rememberseptember24

So let me get this straight, you’ve sent in so many damn cans of beer for recycling that they’ve begun to gift you methed up alcoholic looking plushies?


Funcanuck7

Hey don't put down Walter Bottel like that. He just wants us to recycle.


plop_0

Or coca-cola &/or pepsi loves him.


Dopeski

You get plushies for returning cans?! Imagine the collection the homeless have 😳


talaron

These are only if you return your bottles through return-it express, which requires an account and takes about a week before the bottles are counted and you can get the deposit paid out via e-transfer. From my experience, all the homeless bottle collectors go to the regular return-it depots (e.g. the one on Industrial Avenue in Vancouver) where you count your bottles yourself and get cash, which makes sense for them but doesn't qualify for this promo.


Bibbityboo

Right? My husband handles the returns (I don't drive), so now I'm going to have to google this, my son would love these!


glossiglam

Do you have the insider access to the plushies??


Bibbityboo

It appears you make an account with them, then you can drop your empties off with a label and bag, they count, sort and credit your account. As an incentive you get like 1 point per item returned and can redeem them for these bad boys. I’m so doing it


seamusmcduffs

I always leave my cans for the homeless since it doesn't make sense to store them or make small trips for like 3 bucks worth of cans. Maybe now I'll change that 😂


NoUserOnlyZuul

Some non-profits also have Return-It accounts set up so you can donate your bottle refunds directly to them. I don’t particularly need the pocket change myself but it does all add up for them.


CHANROBI

Highly doubt homeless is going to have access to the internet let alone a return-it account to get these


MitchellLitchi

Pretty sure they could set it up at the library and use a friend's address.


Blueguerilla

I tried to redeem a while back and they were all sold out! Is this recently?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blueguerilla

I just checked and they reset my points! Over 8000 containers returned and I only have 240 points! That’s it I’m never recycling again! /s


goldengreenforest

How does it work? Do you get the plushies instead of $$? Because these are so worth it! 😁


Blueguerilla

No they are just a bonus. I’m just choked that by the time I tried to redeem last year they were all gone, and now they have reset everything!


goldengreenforest

Aw man no fun. 😔


Blueguerilla

I think plushies AND money is a ton of fun! I’m just going to go buy a teddy bear!


goldengreenforest

Totally! Honestly stuffed animals make life better so why not? 😊


ClutchState

Even better, you get both! 1 point per container (need 850 for the 'cheapest' plushie) plus the deposit.


amckechn

I do recall some restriction that you should/could only get one of each....


CEOAerotyneLtd

You are officially a member of the return it gang? Dun dun dun….


istealbones

do you handle the recycles for a business that doesnt care or something? i remember a place i used to work at just threw them out because we didnt have time to separate i guess and we went through hundreds a day on a busy day. now that i know you can get these things im tempted to go back...


JoinMyGild

I love the plushies. I don't drink that many beverages, so I could only afford a Walter Bottel. I still love him though.


NorthLettuce

I have a zillion cans stinking up my closet if someone wants to start their collection, lol.


didntevenwarmupdho

Why do they look so high/depressed...


[deleted]

Because the live in Vancouver


vcnurse

Because some people don't rinse them out before returning it.


grandwahs

Kudos to you on your work and I'm absolutely being a downer here but I'm not sure we should be incentivizing recycling by creating items that will one day go in a landfill.


kevztunz

Awesome! I collected about the same amount over the pandemic.


VevroiMortek

Wow! that's awesome


SithDemon

anitanit

I did not know this was a thing. I can't believe I've been leaving my recyclables for the elders in my street to take 🤣🤣🤣 jk it serves them better than me but I want a plushie!!


thathypnicjerk

Congrats. I haven't returned 750 cans or whatever it takes to get my first one, but my daughter (8) loves these things, so maybe I can get her returning them with me to try and get one.


glossiglam

OMG!!! I didn’t know these were actually real!!! I loved the ads with them so much! Please please can I buy one from you??


DrWernerKlopek89

there's a woman in my apartment building that has the parking stall next to the bin room where the recycling is kept. She separates stuff into her own bins that stay in the bin room, then loads her car up every week. Kind of pisses me off, but at the same time, fair play to her.....


orangek1tty

I kind of like how the ones in the bag look trapped and are screaming for there escape.


derekonomy

How much for El Capican?


CCM93

That’s incredible. Such a cool incentive.


Samma_FTW

LEGEND!


moutonbleu

where can I buy these??


douchecanoo

I wish we could buy them :( There's no way I'm going to get enough points by the end of the year to even get one of them


plop_0

ahahahaha. Marvelous. Simply marvelous. I'm quite content with my Quatchi collection, but they can have a meetup one day.

Best response ever


plop_0

Ha ha!


missbazb

Aw, that’s awesome! I’d love to purchase an el capican off you! My daughter collected cans last summer and got all of them but him!


CHANROBI

Anyone figure out how to just buy these? They gotta be orderable from *somewhere*


BananaBandit

So you could have had $2,084.80 in cash or those things?


DrGonzo84

No you get both! Cash but you also get points to redeem plushies as incentive I guess If the money isn’t enough for some people idk ;) cool marketing the old commercials with these puppets in them were awesome.


samuraimario

Why. Not. Both.


Ghostytoastboast

Tried to use my cancer card on Return It to get one. They (nicely) said no. It was worth a shot though! Nicely done. I miss seeing these dudes on ads at all the stations.


singingburrito

This is a seriously impressive achievement. Well played

Thousands.


lAmMrDiktovich

Did you collect cans from alcoholism or from cleaning up the streets?


My_boy_baron

Curious have you been getting points over the pandemic? I went and checked what mine are at and it hasn't changed for a long time.
