Why do we use Fresca?

We use lemon Fresca because:

  • Low/no sugar content means that everything doesn’t get sticky
  • Ample carbonation for a nice “pop” when struck
  • Resultant cloud of aerated Fresca is lemony fresh

 

How many times does the batter swing?

 

As long as it takes for him or her to hit it. This isn't elementary school and no one strikes out here.

 

After hitting it, what if the Fresca doesn't open all the way and is only leaking a bit?

 

That is up to the batter and the Game Guide. If it's a very tiny leak, the batter should throw it back to the pitcher who will throw it to the batter again. If it is a large leak (i.e., the can is "bleeding"), you should do the kind thing and put it down before it bleeds to death. The pitcher or the game guide (and then other participants no doubt) will tell you to kill it, and kill it (beat it with the bat) you should.

 

Is it possible to get hurt?

 

Hell yeah it is. We've had people slice their fingers on broken Fresca cans before. Be careful out there.

 

Oh, but you were asking if anyone got hit with a Fresca can? Nope. We haven't seen that yet.
