I looked at it again. It actually says 'Coffee' on it.

Hmmm...
Blue Sun Coffee. I wonder what it tastes like.

You know, this supports the theory that Blue Sun and Star Bucks are the same thing.

That actually makes really good sense because a 55 gallon drum stands out as a singular thing especially compared to a coverted coffee can among the rest of their supplies. Which would explain why Crybaby was written on it.

Yep, exactly right. This is why I like this show more and more. The more you peel back the layers, the more you find. Some actual thought went into why things are the way they are..or at least there are good explantions for 'em.

...in "Shindig" the logo is on the canned goods River tears the labels off of.

Is it really? I have heard this over and over, but I have never actually been able to make out any Blue Sun logo on the can labels. I'm starting to think this is a spurban legend. Can anyone describe where the logos are more specifically, or better yet, put up a screen capture?

Maybe it's like "Victory Gin" and "Victory Cigarettes" in 1984. Cool huh?

You're right that we can't see any "Blue Sun" or Blue Sun logo on the can labels in "Shindig." But we are able to (barely) see Blue Sun logos on the boxes of cracker packets she goes after next. The way she's holding the boxes, one is upside-down and the other is sideways.

It's also in the script:

Quote:
River has three cans unlabeled, and she's crushing a box of crackers. It has a visible, not emphasized, "Blue Sun" on it. She gets more violent and loud as she continues.
