OK, I'll say it too. "Like a tin of baked beans."
Hmmm. No, not quite the same ring as "Thunderbirds are GO!" or "Flame on!"
I don't think it will catch on.

Although the container is not the thing, yes, like a tinless tin of beans, or a canless can of beer, or a glassless glass of wine...
Why do I feel like a drink all of a sudden?

I suppose that... No, not even in this day and age, surely.

Edit.
I've just Googled "Six-pack of ???????."
To misquote Carol from "Little Britain", "Computer says Yes."

Despite that, I feel it would be misleading to say yes, and my answer remains.

The right kind of answer, but the wrong drink. But beer has alcohol, how can it be wrong? Because it's just not right enough.
