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!

Santa Claus as an angry deity

January 12th, 2011 by Derek

Most of us think of Santa Claus as an angry, vengeful god looking down in judgement upon all of us. When I found this YouTube video of Santa handing out punishment to a naughty world I just had to share it with you.
I really thought this was a real Coke commercial, right up until the end. It’s very well done.

Coke Bottle Soccer Balls

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

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.

Ghost Busters Coke can

April 17th, 2010 by Derek

Who Do You Intend to Call, may I ask?

There’s a Coke can that I wish I had.  It’s the Ghostbusters promotional Coke can.  They were issued for both Ghost Buster movies and I missed seeing the cans both times. Davide Andreani from www.ad-informatica.com/davideandreani has a great post showing a lot of these collectible Coke cans.

When I find a photo I can use, I’ll put it here.

The Ghost Buster movies were great.  Bill Murray is great.  Do you remember Sigourney Weaver’s huge 80′s hair?

Do you remember Ghost Busters?
