    Hey guys,

    Since i use a backpack to keep my cans in, I came up with a way to keep my cans organized and quiet. Here is what i use so i thought i would share.

    1. Use styrofoam or something similar that you can cut into with a knife or something. I had to glue 2 pieces of foam together to make it thick since the store didn't have thicker stuff.

    2. Cut the styrofoam to fit snugly in the bottom of your bag (cutting the corners of the block helps).

    3. Wrap tape around the outside so the foam doesn't get all messy and stuff.

    4. Cut holes all the way through so that a can can fit nicely into the hole. (be careful not to break the foam or whatever you are using).

    5. Place the holder into the bottom of the bag.

    6. Put nice strong magnets on the bottom of the cans. (like you guys already know)

    7. Put the cans in the holder, close the bag, and you are ready to go!

    As i said, this works great for me, keeps them upright and dead silent! Try it out if you want!

    5 cans?

    if you pack your bag tight enough they don make noise. but then again, you should bring a bookbag bombing, just keep a can of black and a can of white in your waist or hoodie or something, less suspect
