Stop two of our "tourist day" found us at Coke World.... |
| Leave it to Evan to try to swipe Mr. Pemberton's other cup.... |
 |
| "I'd like to teach the world to sing..." (Let me know how long you have that stuck in your head. You're welcome.) |
The tour starts with a lot of memorabilia and history (not to mention a very hokey cartoon movie - that we laughed about for days)
 |
| The kids wanted one of these for the house..... |
The giant designer Coke bottles were a hit....
 |
| They match!! |
 |
| The "Tasting Room" - where they allow you to taste Coke products that are available all over the world. Some really interesting stuff in here. And a sticky floor. |
| Useless trivia time: Who designed the Coke bottle as we know it today? (sadly, this info wasn't given on the tour, and I didn't pick it up in the museum anywhere - I knew it walking in the door. Just a glimpse of the strange stuff that rattles around in my brain on a regular basis.) Answer at the end of the post.....  |
| Tasting, tasting.... (we all had a really happy sugar buzz going on the way home) |
 |
| Flavors to try if you ever go to Africa.... |
 |
| Bottles for the road.... Speaking of bottles - the man's name was Raymond Loewy. He also designed some very pretty electric locomotives for the Pennsylvania Railroad along with some other really cool things that you see everyday. |

I so very much want to go there!! It's been on my list for years! I want one of those coke machines myself! I've got to figure out a way to get to Atlanta one of these days! We have an old Army friend that lives there, too! Miss you, my friend!
And I am SERIOUSLY jonesing for a Coke now. AND singing the song. :)
