Coca-Cola is one of the oldest and most popular soft drinks on the market. I have been drinking Coca-Cola since the day I was born. It was given to me in my baby bottle diluted with water and the craving has always been there. The taste is sweeter than most soft drinks and has a fizz to it that can’t be copied.
I have been told that soft drinks are bad for your kidneys but my addiction is still there. Slowing down on drinking coke is like asking me to give up what little bit of sex I have had lately. I’m just not ready to give either up right now.
Mowing yards and landscaping for a living gives me a thirst that nothing can satisfy except Coke, I have tried water and juices which only make me thirsty for more coke.
Coke is not only a great soft drink but it can be used as a toilet cleaner, pour in a can and let ’’the real thing’’ sit for an hour, then flush. the citric acid in Coke removes stains form vitreous china. You can take a crumpled-up piece of reynolds wrap aluminum foil dipped in coke and clean the rust on your car or truck bumpers. Other uses, clean your car battery terminals by pouring a can of coke over them. Remove road haze from your windshield with coke and moisten that next han you bake with a can of coke.
Coke also makes a lot of collectibles for your kitchen, garage, den or where you want to display them. I collect anything with the logo Coca-Cola on it, it started as a hobby, now it is an obsession. My collection consists of replicas of old coke signs, posters, pictures, coca-cola fishing rods, knifes, dishes, glasses, clocks, beenie babies, and I even have a Coca-Cola park bench in my dining room. Once I got started collecting the choices were endless. The coke colors go great with my kitchen and dining room decor.
I have a Coca-Cola machine (really works) beside of our garage stocked with coke products for my sons and their friends to buy (50 cents ea.). I purchased it from a marina that was going out of business and decided that it would be a way to make a little money and teach my sons not to waste precious Cokes after finding cans sitting around half-drunken.
My love of Coca-Cola will be something I will take to my grave, because I will never beat this addiction and really don’t want to. As for my collection of coke collectibles, this will be inherited by whichever one of my sons takes an interest in it first.
