Polar bears celebrate Christmas too.

The Vanilla Coke sequel.

Careful. Next time, you could be drinking cash, not Coke. XD

Last night we had friends over and all of us took sips from a can of Coke from 1985. It held up surprisingly well. Still fizzed when poured out... wasn't flat. Just a little metallic tasting from being in the can so long.

I have a Santa pack from 1995. I dare not drink it.

I also have some extremely old green bottles. One from the 1940s and another from the 1900s.

The old neighboorhood barber shop used to have one of the vintage Coca Cola "ice-chest" style vending machines. You put money in the slot on the side, but the top open door was not locked - it was the honor system!

The barber shop owner was proud to be one of the few black-owned businesses allowed to receive product from the local Coca Cola distributor (a situation very unusual at the time - Pepsi gained popularity by openly promoting sales in black communities across the South).

That sort of thing would $900 or more on Etsy. 

Remember that Coke sun mascot from the 90s? I was wearing a shirt featuring this guy yesterday and I decided to make a tribute comic strip.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor Coke sun. He's walking through the park, feeling the power of thirst bearing down on him. But, he sees the "light" at the end of the dark tunnel! Take that, Thirst!

Shine on, Coke sun!. Shine on!

This is not only a tribute to the Coke, but 90s summer as well.

My local grocery store got Mexican Coke back in stock. I couldn't be happier.
