A hotdog and a small Coke

And the Coke bottles were small too,
Were they 8oz. bottles? And the tastes was great.

Way back then ( the fifties ) I think they all were, but Ward's served fountain Cokes. Friends of mine owned Island Auto Parts, who had the last nickel Coke machine in Glynn County, up till the mid 1970's.

I remember those small bottles. You could also get them from machines at gas stations for about a dime, maybe 15 cents. They used cane sugar in soft drinks then instead of corn syrup and they were fizzier and not as sweet as they are today. They tickled your nose. The GOOD OL' STUFF!
