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!

mini vending machines

March 28th, 2010 by Derek

I love these little machines.  I like having a cold Coke within arm’s reach when I’m in my office.  Check out the picture on the left.  It’s a one-can cooler, powered via USB.  It doesn’t work terribly well, but it will keep an already-cold can cold.  I looked inside it and it uses a CPU cooling can and aluminum heat-sync to cool the can. There are many types of Coke coolers and vending machines.  Here are a few examples of  electric coolers. Read more »

Coke salt and pepper shakers

Coke salt and pepper shakers

Check this out.  I bought these Coke salt and pepper shakers in 1994, in Montreal, Quebec while on my honeymoon.  ”Wow,” I said “Salt and pepper shakers shaped like a Venco 44 Coke vending machine.”  I think they’re really cool!  I think I only paid about $10 for them.  If you have a Coke salt and pepper shaker or anything else different like this, please send me a picture!

Round Coke Bottles

Plastic 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.

mini coke fridge

April 27th, 2009 by Derek

I got this cool mini coke fridge off ebay last year for about $30 or so. It fits one can. I love it. It plugs in via a USB port on your laptop to power it. It’s got a tiny blue light inside also.  It works best to maintain the temperature of a can, rather than bringing it down from room-temperatre. I’ve seen other Coke can coolers I’d like to have. There’s one that keeps 12 cans cold and fits nicely on your table. I’ll see if I can find a picture of it to show you what I mean. You know what I really need? Some stickers on this mini-fridge to say “Coca-Cola”. Maybe I’ll try to make some

Coke dinky car

April 10th, 2009 by Derek

A friend gave me this Coke toy car many years ago. I appreciate the gesture, but what a piece of crap. Look at the picture on the package. An Indy car with a Coke logo – cool! Now look at the toy. A white cube-van. An Indy car says “power” and “speed”. A white van says “suspect last seen heading east”. Honestly, is there anything Coke won’t put their name on? Want one?
