Diet Coke with Bacon flavour
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this on the shelf at my local convenience store. It was only last week when I first tried regular Coca-Cola with Bacon. The flavor engineers at Coke have outdone themselves. Their master work: Diet Coke with Bacon flavor. Or “DCB” as I like to call it.

List of Coke slogans
May 29th, 2009 by DerekHere’s a link to a list of Coke slogan’s from 1886 to 2002. My favorite one is “Demand the genuine by full name” from 1914. You just don’t hear as many turse edicts in advertising anymore. Now it’s all subtle suggestions. The shortest promotion, lasting only 3 months before it was replaced in September of 1979 was the memorable slogan, ”Just shut-up anf drink it”.
very old coke bottle

- Picture of straight-sided coke bottle
I picked this old Coke bottle up at an antique market. I’m really fond of it. It’s a pre-1926 Coca-cola bottle. It’s quite heavy, and as you can see, the logo emossed logo is a little primative. In fact, back then they used wooden molds to make the bottles, so often times you would see little imperfections. If I really wanted to show off this bottle, I’d put a drop of vegetable oil in it and roll it arround inside. This would fill in the cracks and make the bottle more transparent.
Check out this interesting article on the early history of Coke bottles. The author describes Hutchinson bottles and the terrible “corks” used to contain the beverage.

Coke and red wine
May 13th, 2009 by DerekSomeone asked me today if I had ever heard of a drink called Calimocho. Apparently it’s a 50-50 mix of red wine and Coke. Has anyone else had this? I think I’ll give it a try.
Here’s some other Coke drink recipes.
