This is what happens when your company gives free soda to its software developers.

   

This fine creation is located in building 35 of Microsoft’s main Redmond campus. It was made by a friend of mine called Thibaut, who informs me that it contains 512 cans. He matched up the drinks to the pixels in Excel (obviously) and then put up a “wanted” poster for the appropriate number of each.

As I’m sure you’re wondering, the artwork contains:

• 170 Diet Coke cans
• 82 Peach Nectarine Talking Rain cans
• 36 Coke Zero cans
• 120 Coca Cola / Dr Pepper full caffeine & sugar cans
• 4 Caffeine-free Pepsi cans
• 68 Pepsi full caffeine & sugar cans
• 32 Mug Root Beer cans

Apparently the hardest ones to find were root beer. Proof that software developers are not without a sense of taste.
