family-size Coke bottles
January 31st, 2010 by Derek
This small 6-pack plastic carrying thing sits unused in my garage. I’m showing it here because it represents an idea. The idea that the Coca-Cola company believes that their product should be bought as a staple in your home. Just like milk, you should purchase quantities of it along with your other groceries. Read more »

Round Coke Bottles

Round Coke bottles
I missed picking up these round Coke bottles. Apparently these round plastic Coke bottles were available from Walmart in November. I assume people would drink the Coke and then, over their wife’s dead body, hang them on their Christmas tree. I told my friend Todd about my disappointment from not getting one, and about my affinity for this kind of crap. He mentioned that he saw some at a small variety store. We’ll see if he can grab me one before they’re gone for good.  Or until next year.

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.

I can’t remember where I picked up this brass Coke bottle, but it sure looks home-made. It makes a great paperweight!
