Classic Coke

With the exception of alcoholic beverages like Rum & Coke or the trusty, quintessentially American Jack & Coke, I haven’t drunk straight Coca-Cola in years. I stopped some time in high school, while I was doing a biomedical science program. Around that time, I was becoming increasingly more aware of my health and how my diet affects it, not to mention, I had just seen Super Size Me; see Coca-Cola health effects. I made a conscious effort to refrain as best I could from drinking soda, until…

BOOM!

Yes, it is what you think it is. It’s a vintage Coca-Cola machine. Over the weekend, while working on my clearing my arteries with a little Lower Manhattan perusing on Black Friday, my bro and I ended up at Tekserve. It’s pretty much the spot for anything Apple, as well as terrific audio accessories for you audiophiles out there. While I was waiting to check out, I saw the machine, inserted a dime (yes! It was 10¢!), and thought to myself, “I can’t lose.” I hadn’t been to the store in a while so I wasn’t too sure when the machine was installed. Who cares? In any case, turns out it worked and I sucked down all 8 ounces of carbonated, food-colored goodness. And the Coke tasted so good. Like, really good, so maybe this Coke had some coke in it. I hope not. But again, who cares, really?

Glass bottle, functioning vintage machine, classic American flavor, and good ol' sober fun.
