Brandi's Future Husband this week has gone to great lengths and personal sacrifice to grow a personal collection. His name is Hans Heiland and he is from Austria.

What does this charmer go out of his way to collect? Ok, wait for it. He collects bottle caps. Yes, the ones that were formerly on beer bottles. Yes, he did have to drink quite a few of those bottles to help grow his collection to the almost 10,000,000 bottle caps. It took Hans about 5 years to amass his collection. Did he have to drink 10,000,000 beers to make this happen? No, when his friends found out what he was trying to do, they started to help him drink beers. Hans also started to get bottle caps from people in the mail who had heard about what he was trying to do.

Now that he has reached his goal of 10,000,000 caps what is he going to do with all of these caps? He sold the collection for $1700 and is donating the money to a local family in his town that could use the money. How big is this collection? It weighs 18 tons and will take Hans 3 trucks to deliver them.
