Beer Drinkers Rejoice! Win Free Beer By Drinking In Cambodia! DTube Video! Plus - 80s Can Opening Sound Effects You Thought You'd Forgotten! 😉
When you drink beer in Cambodia you have the chance to win a new free beer and hear an 80s sound! A few of the Cambodian beer companies use the old ring pull tabs on their aluminium cans of beer and they use them for amazing marketing!
I have made a DTube video with both a (random) winning ring-pull and also to remind us of the sound of the 1980s which is still part of the aural experience here in Cambodia! 😉
Drinking Beers In Cambodia Wins You Beers!
Here in Cambodia there are two kinds of aluminium cans. The modern type which opens but keeps all the pieces integral to the can so nothing can cut you. There are also the old 80s style versions where you pull back the opening which separates into to pieces.
The ring-pull can be sharp and when I was younger I knew someone who cut themselves on one!
Here is a DTube video of the two kinds of can opening styles.
Those who lived in the 80s will smile with reminisces! 😉
Winning Beers By Drinking Beers!
What is of particular interest here is that the beers who's ring-pulls come away have an interesting game involved. Beneath the ring-pull there are messages which include:
- Thank you!
- 1 Beer
I think I have even also seen a ring-pull for USD $1 but I don't have the photo!*
This is great! Each new beer you open has the opportunity to win a new one for you. Fantastic! Here is a photo of some of the ring-pulls and the awards written underneath them:
This is one of the best beer games I have ever come across! 😉
The Sound Of The 1980's
The sound of a ring-pull verses a punch can is a memory from my childhood! I thought I had forgotten it but coming to Cambodia has reminded me that we store memory in may ways!
The sound of a ring-pull aluminium can being opened was instantly recognisable to me even though it had been almost two decades since I heard it! Enjoy a blast from the 80s in the video! 😉

Man, if I could count the number of times I bought a case (24 cans) in Cambodia and literally pulled 20+ "free ones" (actually, you have to pay 500 riel to the drink shop when you exchange the cans, but it still makes daily "colling down" affordable). In Thailand right now the beer is CRAP, and it is TOO EXPENSIVE to drink daily. In fact, I don't even drink at all here. Getting a bit tired of Thailand overall due to excessive costs and few "perks" like cheap beer, drugs, affordable "companionship", etc.). Although there are SO MANY damn beer brands in Cambodia I found over YEARS of regular drinking that the only one of half-way decent quality to justify the price (even WITH the freebies) are Gansberg (the German lager). After winning a few freebies I might trade in three tabs and buy a Tiger can (for around 4000 riel, just to have SOME kind of good quality on a regular basis. Anchor is crap, and Angkor has a more nice, earthy taste, but tends to be suboptimally fermented, and watered down. My routine was to pick up FOUR cans of Gansberg and 500 reil of ice (with the ice and cans put right into the plastic bag, and the bag on my mountain bike handlebars). Then I could cruise anywhere in town on my "mobile bar" and find a peaceful place to wind down. For all of the problems that Cambodia has - and there are TONS - one nice thing about that country is the liberal access and cost of beer, hands down. Then again, beer becomes a bit of a NECESSITY in order to survive (physically and mentally) in that country. It is what it is..
