Couple find 1970s Pepsi can while renovating home - it could be worth a fortune
A couple had a surprise when they discovered a Pepsi can from the 1970s while gutting their home.
Cassidy Casale and Eton Merritt, both 24, discovered the retro tin while working on the house they bought for 615,000 Canadian dollars (£366,000) in March 2022.
The couple previously hit the headlines after revealing the bizarre items found while renovating the 130-year-old property including 1960s newspapers and even bones.
Fans say their latest find is more unique and could be worth a fortune as they continue with the renovation one year later.
Cassidy and Eton revealed the historic items to their TikTok viewers in a clip which has racked up 13.7 million views and over 748,000 likes.

Project manager Eton and land developer Cassidy (Jam Press/@flipthishouz)Opinions seemed to differ as to whether the couple should sell their find for a hefty profit or keep it as a token from the renovation project.
"Sell that can it'll be worth thousands," Sarah said.
While James said: “I’d keep the Pepsi it’s so cool.”
Another urged them to “keep them as decor, it would be so cool.”

“Although it may not have been our first choice, it's been a great adventure so far.
“Old homes throw a lot of curve balls which you can't plan for until you begin tearing down walls and really getting deep into it.
"Eton and I are doing all of the work ourselves while working full time so we aren't moving at super speed, but we are spending every evening and weekend working away."
