My Coke Can Collection

Look 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 »

Here’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 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.

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?

Coca-Cola Neon sign

I’ve always loved Coke neon signs.  Well, all neon signs really, but I especially like Coca-Cola neon signs.  I own a tiny coke neon sign, but it’s pretty sad.  I’ve seen them used for as little as $225, but I’ve never had the cash to buy one.  I understand they’re also difficult to ship (assuming you get one off eBay), and also expensive to repair.  We’ve all seen the signs with one or two letters that don’t work, and I expect it’s because they’re a fortune to fix.  I like this picture of a glass of Coke with a straw in it.   If I had one of these, it would be the centerpiece of my collection.  If you have one, please leave a comment below, and let us know where you got it.  You might even want to upload a picture in the photo-gallery!
