Here are a few pics of my Mint Cola collection. 26 bottles and counting so far. Don't have time to name all the towns right now because I have to do a few things before I go to the hospital for a sleep study tonight. States range from NC, SC, GA, KY, VA and LA. Most have the same bottle design but they come in lots of different variations.

My favorite and rarest one I have. From my huge hometown and current place of residence Macclesfield, NC....population of about 300 people.

Hope you enjoy! Always looking for more towns I don't have also!

I would say your venture is not modest. But considerable.
And wonderful to behold. Superior job! Thank you.
A feast to purview.

Hey Dustin,

Nice collection, sir. What glass houses were involved in making those?

Good luck sleeping at the hospital.
