FRUTASTE
  While it is thought that Frutaste, canned under license of Dad's Root Beer Company, Chicago, Illinois, is a true 12 ounce cone top variety, the only known examples are rolled cans. The body blanks used for the cans are a little taller than for flat top cans, but a slight chance exists that they were not meant for cone tops. Anyone with a can in their collection could help us clear us this mystery.  

  No other cans or bottles with the Frutaste labels are known to exist.
