RECKON you love a Victoria Bitter tinnie?
Not as much as this South Australian bloke — who has stockpiled an estimated 30,000 empty cans in his backyard shed on the Yorke Peninsula.
The mystery Moonta man, dubbed “VB’s biggest fan”, shows off his collection while swimming through the green sea of cans in a series of YouTube videos.
Yet the sheer size of the endeavour isn’t lost on him as he asks; “how do I get out of here”?
The journey to fill the wooden shed started about 15 years ago according to the videos’ narrator, and means an average of five-and-a-half cans had to be added to the collection per day over that period.
It is not clear whether he had help.
“One man, tens of thousands of VB cans, this is it,” the video’s narrator says. “Some guys call it the ultimate beer pit and they’re pretty correct in saying that.”
The man’s work may not be without reward.
In South Australia, aluminium cans can be scrapped for 10c a piece — making his empty can collection worth upwards of $3000.
But it’s a small pay-off for what would’ve been a hefty investment.
A 30-can block of Victoria Bitter cans currently retails for around $55. Which means, in today’s money, the man has spent about $55,000 on the beer.
Just $52,000, or 94.5 per cent, in depreciation.
Reckon it was worth the investment?

FEMALE surfers wearing high-cut bikini bottoms have been given reassurance their backsides won’t be broadcast around the world. At least not close ups.
According to Stab Magazine, the World Surf League has attempted to get out in front of the #metoo movement by asking the camera people filming its events not to zoom in on competitors.
From Stab: “The World Surf League met on the Gold Coast during the Quiksilver Pro and sexual harassment was the number one topic for their human resource department. The meeting was a refresher on the rules and responsibilities of all WSL employees, a scenario taking place at big businesses around the world.
“No inappropriate jokes. No leering at colleagues or competitors. Absolute gender equality in all parts of the operation.
“All cinematographers have been instructed to exercise discretion while shooting the women’s heats. Cinematographers must be careful to be zoomed out during bottom turns or duck dives.
“A live broadcast means there’s no time for editing so all camera operators need to use common sense when shooting. That means wide shots of any competitors in skimpy swimwear. Girls who surf in boardshorts will feature larger on screen than those in bikinis.”
But some readers weren’t convinced it was the right way to tackle the situation.
“So they’re not going to try to wear things less revealing or anything, they’re going to control camera angles to make sure no one sees too much of what they’re freely exposing,” one wrote.
“Watch their ratings wipe out this year,” wrote another.
