About Me

I've been collecting Coke cans since 1986. While not the biggest collection, I enjoy collecting unique Coke cans and bottles from around the world. I also have an unrestored Vendo 81 in my basement. It's been untouched in 13 years. One of these days I'll restore it to it's full glory. Please take a look at the photo gallery, and if you have a picture to share, go ahead and add it!

Coke Bottle Soccer Balls

June 14th, 2010 by Derek

Socer Ball Coke BottleLook at this cool Coke bottle Soccer ball!  I picked this up at a local supermarket here in Ontario for $.99.  No, wait I think it was 2 for $2.49 at the time.  Well anyway they’re on sale now for $.99 everywhere.  This is the first one in a series.  I’ve got a couple of different ones now.  This isn’t the greatest picture perhaps, but you get the idea.  If you’ve read my post Read more »

2010 Olympic Coke Bottle

May 17th, 2010 by Derek

olympic coke bottleHere’s a photo of the light-up Coke bottle given away at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games.  Thanks to Larry for sending my the photo!  These bottles are quite rare.  I found a YouTube video of the bottle as it flashes.  A quick check on eBay reveals that these cool bottles are selling for upwards of $40.  Apparently Coca-Cola gave away 50,000 of these items.  I have yet to see one in person, however.

Diet Coke with Bacon is it real

May 3rd, 2010 by Derek

Diet Coke with Bacon flavour

I blogged about “Diet Coke with Bacon flavor” a few months ago.  I was totally making that story up about how it tasted.  Turns out that was one of my more popular posts!  I guess a lot of people were fooled.  I found this photo on the net of Diet Coke with Bacon a while ago and decided to have some fun with it.  I suspect that some graphic-arts student put it together for a laugh.

 There are however a lot of real Diet Coke flavors.  Here’s a list:

  • Diet Coke Cherry
  • Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla
  • Diet Coke Raspberry
  • Diet Coke Lemon
  • Diet coke Lime

I didn’t mention all the other variants of the recipe like Diet Caffeine-free Coke, of Diet Coke Plus.

Old Coke Can

Old Coke Can

This old Coke can is from 1985.  It’s from Ontario.  I like it because it’s a transition can.  Coke was still letting people know that this is “Classic” as in “Original Taste”.  Ironically, I think they went to a cheaper sweetener when Classic came about.

If you have a moment, why not check out some of the old Coke cans in the photo gallery?

Solid Glass Coke Bottles

April 22nd, 2010 by Derek

Solid Glass Coke BottleLook at this solid glass Coca-Cola bottle.  This picture was sent to me by Larry Slivinsky, a fellow Coke Collector.  I love this thing.  I’d bet it makes a great conversation piece on his desk!  I wonder if this is an official (licensed) Coke collectible item, or if it’s someone’s tribute to the famous Coke bottle?

Here’s a photo of his brass coke bottle as well.  I wonder how many of these were made?  If you have one, or can tell me about either of them, please leave me a comment!
