Hi all - I'm the editor of a publication dedicated to soda pop collectors called the Soda Spectrum Series (http://www.sodaspectrum.com)
I'm looking for information about a series of Pepsi Cola cans from Italy (1985) that featured the Smurfs. So far I've only been able to find two cans (one featured Papa Smurf). Any help or info about these cans would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Blair

So cute! For that I remember, these Smurf Pepsi cans had not been released onto the Brazilian market. And I didn't see anything similar yet. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

I've never seen a Smurf on any soda cans.
Since I'm a Coca Cola collector I'd have to say the Smurfs would look better on Coke cans!

Smurf Pepsi vs Smurf Coke?
Did you know... The Smurfs have been associated with both Pepsi and Coca-cola!
Smurf Pepsi
The Smurfs were featured on a series of collectible Pepsi cans back in 1983 in Italy. The Pepsi cans were called "Pepsi Puffi" (I Puffi means The Smurfs in Italian). There are 15 different Smurf Pepsi cans featuring a variety of Smurfs - including Handy Smurf (like in the photo above), Smurfette, Papa Smurf, Sporty Smurfs and more. Even a stargazing Dreamy Smurf is featured on a can!
Smurf Coca-Cola and Fanta
The Smurfs also partnered with Coca-Cola too! Back in the 1970s in Europe, The Smurfs were featured on collectible bottles of Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite. Each bottle cap in this series had a different Smurf celebrating The Olympics!
My favorite Smurf bottle cap is the one where Karate Smurf defeats his huge opponent - all you see is Smurf bowing beside a big foot! The one with Gymnast Smurfette is cute too!
Read about Smurf Soda - Smurf Pepsi, Smurf Coca-Cola and Smurf Fanta... here!
And see more pictures too!

I would love to see The Smurfs on soda pop today! Just imagine walking into the store and being able to buy a can of Smurf Coca-Cola! That would be sooo smurfy!!!
PS - Hope this info helps, sodadood. Don't forget to give a shout out to BlueBuddies if you write about The Smurfs soda in one of your publications! Good luck with your site... it looks like fun!

Have a smurfy day!

Thanks for providing this Smurf soda history, Sassette. I was unaware that these Smurf drinks even existed. I am more of a Coke person but the Pepsi tins are very desirable.
It is a revelation to have all this displayed for us. How do they come up with this? Thanks again.
