Thanks, Guys!
Had no idea about the 'unmarked' reproductions, and glad to hear about the lettering.
So I guess a London, KY Christmas Coke would be a fake! ( :
A friend of mine apparently has some of the '1923' bottles, except they're in an 8 oz. size. I double-checked with her on this point. I've seen some reproductions, but the 6 oz. size certainly hadn't been changed. And I'd think a commemorative would be clearly marked as such in some way. Do...
Really nice! I've never paid much attention to the '..Bottling Company' bottles, but that one is distinctive.
Good of you to point out the difference. Seems like many online auction sellers 'neglect' to do that! Maybe it's not that big a deal, but calling something a "Coca-Cola" bottle, even...
And it's still better than artificial sweeteners.
Seems there's a new one of those every other decade.
And each time a new one appears, it's because the older one was found to be deadly!
And the new one is always praised as 'healthy'!
It's happened to all of them except the most recent...
Amazing. It could be a lifetime study in itself! Thanks for the great celery info!
I've always enjoyed the "Good Eats" show, but don't remember this one.
Since I've never actually tried to prepare anything from there, this might be fun. ( :
Hadn't heard about the Pepsi 'Raw'. Usually like the older logos better, but that was a particularly nice modern one.
If I can go just slightly off-topic, I'd really be interested to hear from anyone who's tried any of the 'genuine cane-sugar' variations of Pepsi or Coke. Looking forward to...
For any marble-lovers out there, those were of course 'Vitro-Agates' which came to be known as 'Pepsi's in the photo.
Those of you who aren't 'into' marbles can probably guess why!
I like this carrier for its own sake, but also found it interesting that it isn't large enough to hold 12 oz. bottles!
It has a 'telescoping' handle which extends even farther than shown in the picture, and yet the individual compartments just aren't big enough for the 12 ouncers. Would have...
Wow. All bottles with more 'oomph' than the average!
Do you know the time-frame of the White Lightnin' bottle? I was wondering if it pre-dated Mountain Dew.
It would be interesting if Mountain Dew wasn't the first soda to have this sort of 'attitude'.
One of these days a rich foreign 'Coke Freak' will come on the scene, and you're going to be loving life!
(Unless of course you couldn't possibly part with them, and that's understandable too.)
Hiya, Kate!
Never really liked the 'smilies' they have here, but those two were visually perfect the way you teamed them up with 'lobster' and 'soda'!
A genuine LOL on my part, and I don't do that very often!
As someone born and bred on the lower east side of Manhattan, I'm a little...
Warren's reply is both very funny and entirely true. At least if you're a Coca-Cola nut who's able to laugh at himself!
(Honestly, as far as value goes you never really know. What if this was one of the first bottles off the line and someone doing 'quality-control' caught the mistake and had...
Thanks, Star!
You caught me at just the right moment for those YouTubes. Nice.
(Someone at work today who I've known for years suddenly responded
to something that I said or did with "Holy Cow! You're a hippie! Not
quite accurate, but no doubt that blessings, love, stars, fun, and peace...
