Not really machine related, but interesting nonetheless.

It's about time!  I was at the World of Coke museum back around 2000 and they told me at that time that they would be dropping the "classic" from the label that year!

That was always annoying to me.

Here's an oldy that I saved from a  newspaper when they introduced the new Coke.  I think you will enjoy it. :biggrin: :biggrin: :happydrinkers:

It's hard to see in this small picture but those are cases of "New" Coke being tossed over the ship in the Boston Tea Party tradition.

Larry,

That is great!  :biggrin:

I was always a Coke guy--but now mostly Diet Coke.  The original formula is the best but I just can't consume all that sugar like I used too.  Back in my college days, I used to put away between 1 and 2 cases of the 1/2 litre glass bottles of regular Coke a week.  Wish I had saved some of those bottles!
