The Cokes that came out of the Coke Machine that my Dad had at his Business in the late 50’s tasted the best. They were Ice Cold and there was a little burn when you chugged it down.
They were the 6.5 oz. Bottles and you had to push the crank lever mechanism to get the drink out of the machine. I saw the same machine on one of those Renovation Shows. Another thing for my Lotto Winner list.
I think they cost a nickel or a dime back in 1959.
Unintended Rhyme Alert.
We had a National supermarket in Port Huron, Michigan that had one of those crank coke machines. The store was, as far as I knew, the only air-conditioned building in town. On a hot summer day, going into that cool store, tossing in a dime, turning that crank and getting that frosty glass bottle, then drinking it, was probably as close as I’ll ever get to finding an oasis in a desert
Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces that's a lot.
Get more flavor for a nickel too, Pepsi Cola is the one for you.
I grew up a die hard pepsi fan but would drink the occasional Coke and Dr. Pepper also. I remember the nickel a bottle days and that included the one or two cent deposit. Took a lot of empties to get enough money to go to the Saturday Matinee, which cost 15 to 25 cents in those days, depending on what was showing.
Which reminds me, today's Friday.
