A Silent Celebration

There were images of the Coca-Cola Royal Wedding (of Prince Charles & Princess Diana) bottle on the computer screen. Liquidfreak was downloading these images into a folder so that she could admire the bottle whenever she feels like it. This bottle will be among her most prized possessions.

A little history: This Coca-Cola glass bottle was produced to celebrate The Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana on 29 July 1981. It does not have a paper label, instead it has a painted-on label, which is very lasting. It's a rare and valuable collection, which Cokejuice and I think that it's a must-have for all coke collectors.

So one day, while surfing the internet, Liquidfreak found this very bottle she was searching desperately for, on sale at an almost reasonable price. She emailed the seller and immediately a transaction was made. Within a week later, the Coca-Cola Royal Wedding bottle arrived. It has a slight dent on the cap but it was near perfection to Liquidfreak.

Liquidfreak was very happy, but in her heart, she left a silent prayer for Princess Diana, Princess of the People - July 1, 1961 -August 31, 1997.

[Her ending was tragic, but with her death, she left behind a legacy.]

What Brings You Sunshine?

Music. Fashion. TV. Sports. Each of these limited edition 'Sunshine Collection' Coca-Cola Originals' designs are a response to a simple question - "What brings you sunshine?"

So Cokejuice, what brings you sunshine? More sugar? :D

[Happiness crafts a smile on my face, and that's exactly what sunshine does to each and everyone of us.]

Space Coke

This is a Coca-Cola space can with space Coke in it. Cokejuice and I checked, and we are not sure about the ingredients, but we can almost asure that it will taste the same in space as it is on earth.

A little history: On July 12, 1985, Coca-Cola® became the first soft drink to be consumed in space when astronauts tested the "Coca-Cola® Space Can" aboard Space Shuttle Challenger. Working with NASA, The Coca-Cola Company invested more than $250,000 in the initial development of the space can technology.

Let There Be Light

Always thought I should have a Coca-Cola neon sign at home somewhere. Perhaps Cokejuice will get me one someday.

Waltz Away

Waltz: From the old German word 'walzen' - to roll, turn, or to glide.

Waltz: A ballroom dance in 3/4 time with strong accent on the first beat and a basic pattern of step-step-close.

Waltz: To move or glide in a lively or conspicuous manner (to advance easily and successfully).

Waltz: A dance born in the suburbs of Vienna and in the alpine region of Austria. As early as the seventeenth century, waltzes were played in the ballrooms of the Hapsburg court. The weller, or turning dances, were danced by peasants in Austria and Bavaria even before that time. Many of the familiar waltz tunes can be traced back to simple peasant yodeling melodies.

MILLENIUMSWALZER LINKSDREHUNG [1999]
These bottles were released in Austria for the millennium in 1999 and are known as the Waltz bottles. Each bottle shows the dance steps for the Waltz. This set of bottles features the dance steps for her (Dame) and for him (Herr).
