Al Wadi Al Akhdar - canned patriotism

Al Wadi Al Akhdar is launching an initiative whereby "Lebanon is with you, on every can". And what it says it is, it does. For each of their products, they dipped (sorry for the bad pun) the can with a certain known Lebanese area. Apparently there are 8 collectable variants, the kind of boxes nostalgia resellers will keep as is to exhibit them years down the line among their paraphernalia. So, without further ado, and in no particular order: Baalbeck, Beirut, Beiteddine, Byblos, Cedars, Douma, Sidon, and Tripoli (OK, fine I placed them in alphabetical order). Well, I believe these are paper prints on the cans as opposed to them being printed on the cans direct (much more cost-effective). So as I said, this is indeed the kind of  marketing gimmicks that would push people to collect and resell, but ordinary folks will just go for the price factor.
