My Coke Can Collection

As I understand it these bottles were made illegal in the 1980′s. When dropped, these bottles had the potential to send shards of broken glass flying like shrapnel from a grenade. These huge Coke bottles are 1.5 litres a piece. The diet Coke can in the photo is to give you and idea of the size of the Coke bottles.

As I pulled these Coke bottles out to photograph them, I wondered when the Coke might taste like? I wish it would retain it’s original flavour. The Diet Coke would pre-date the recipe change of the mid 90′s. The label says it’s made with Nutrasweet. I can imagine the Coke would also contain a higher amount of real sugar. Mmm… sugar.
