Drinking in public may be considered a criminal offence, but not if no one can tell what's in the can! Canouflage is a vinyl wrapper you can stick to your [beer cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition) to make them look like different name-brand sodas instead of booze. The wrappers use the original logos of each respective soda and tweak the name; a subtle change which is only noticeable to the most careful of onlookers.

The [reusable labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jug-hugger) look like the real deal and instantly allow you to drink beer in places where its consumption is normally frowned upon. These sneaky sleeves also help you save money on purchasing over-priced beer at venues where "bring your own beer" is not an option!

Canouflage is a brilliant loophole for the everyday beer drinker!
