Title: UH OH-- I think I infected the kids
Post by: sc1101 on January 21, 2014, 08:24:45 pm
I think there's a chance my collection might not be sold off by my wife in the end after all. The next generation seems to getting the bug. I can see it in their eyes. It always seems to start with those glass bottles...  :happydrinkers:

PS- I can't believe the selection at Cracker Barrel

Lots of variety at Cracker Barrel.

They sell those Vintage Soda cases at World Market too.

Hold on...
Does that case read, "Vintage Soda's" with an apostrophe s?

It sure looks to be spelled that way. Haha That will be an awesome project Eric I'll be looking for it on the shelf next time I'm up that way. Don't forget to fix the "soda's"

Cool, you let them help you restore your machines?  Those little problem solving tricks go a long ways learned at an early age.

I'm no English major...quite the opposite a math guy, but I think the Vintage Soda's is followed by a small script 'made from real cane sugar', hence the possessive?

My oldest likes to help out more then the youngest but I think it will come with time. How in the world did you see that in the picture. I guess I should have zoomed in on picture first. I totally missed the "made from real cane sugar". Oops  :biggrin:

Possibly. It is tough to see in the pic.

Honestly, I'm not a grammar Nazi. I just had to mention it. This is my twenty-first year teaching in an elementary school and spotting things like that is almost automatic.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with Eric. I seem to remember a thread about the Nichol Kola packs.

Well, I saw a little script under the Vintage Soda's and used Google to find the rest.  I'm a reformed grammar Nazi after I found out my wife gets quite upset when I correct her, turns out correcting 'words' doesn't lead to better things later for smart-asses

My 2 girls love to share a coke out of the bottle with me as well, I guess that I have a bunch of sugarholics at my house too.  I remember drinking the Dr. Peppers from the Dublin plant and they were amazing so I will have to try the sodas from Cracker Barrel.  My oldest is 4 and she loves the signs and will even sit down with the auction catalogs to study them and pick out the items that she thinks that I should get.  She especially likes Borden's Milk so my dad got her a clock and she uses as her night light in her room, it makes it seem like daylight in the room at night.

I still fill original 6.5 Green Coke Hobbleskirt bottles with Coke and other Flavors (the kids don't care about what bottle it's in, they want the Pop).. I vend them out of my 81D in the game room... It's a neat treat for them and they can appreciate the machine ...  their friends are like ? "what I have to push this handle down and then pull out a bottle from this old machine?" "what?"

I then get to go into my Speech about "Back in the Day..... "


I love it.

That is so awesome guys that your kids enjoy the same stuff we do. I'm jealous you guys are vending from your machines. I'm trying to finish up my gameroom now and hope to have my stuff set up soon so I can use them.  I always wondered if there was going to be a new generation that would continue the hobby and now I can see there will be. Just awesome!

I've had to explain to adults how to get drinks out of my Vendo 63.
