With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year, Coca-Cola is marking the moment with special commemorative cans.

The soft drink giant is producing mini-cans for each state — plus Puerto Rico and D.C. — and the cans feature something unique about that state.

In artwork shared with WTOP, the cans show off notable icons.

Virginia’s can embraces the famous “Virginia is for Lovers” slogan. Maryland’s can features the state’s famous crustacean. And D.C.’s can promotes one of the District’s most notable landmarks, the Washington Monument.

Coca-Cola also plans special commemorative packaging for Vitaminwater, Smartwater, BodyArmor and Gold Peak — and custom bottles are in the works.

Spokeswoman Katy Haas said the collectible mini-cans will start appearing in major retailers this month, including Walmart and Target.
