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

Look 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!

Gold Coke can

I finally got my hands on a Gold Coke can from the Vancouver 2010 Olympics (thanks to Paul Q Bowman).  I understand there’s 3 different ones out there?  Can someone help me out with this?  Leave a comment below.
