Hey it's out! Have you seen it? I'm talking about somethin' that is 92 years old and still in style. It the classic Coca Cola shape that has made it to the big bottle -- the 67.6 ounce soda pop that is commonly called the "Two Liter".
Hey don't you remember the "little co'cola"? I mean if you say it fast like we did when we were comin' up, you kinda' leave the "ca" out of "coca cola" and just settle for "co'cola". Got me? Sure you do. You remember. I grew up on these things man. I remember when they were a quarter. That's right! One quarter....twenty five cents.....would get you an ice cold co'cola in the glass bottle.
And by the way, my mother-in-law said, "You can get a colder drink in a bottle than you can in that plastic!" You know what? She was right. Man she loved a drink, too.
Oh...........remember when the old fellas' used to open up a small pak of Lance peanuts and dump'em in the bottle. That was good too! I still like to do that. Something about that salt mixin' with that co'cola created an unforgetable taste. Then you had to turn that bottle up and beat in on the bottom to get those peanuts out. Now you need another co'cola to wash them things down!
I'm going back to classic! I'm likin' the "new OLD look" that's showing up on the 2 liter products from Coke! It's cool. It's big. It's classic.
Isn't it funny that "classic" just goes the distance? Simple. Not complex, just "classic". I guess we should be the same way. We should stop all this trying to impress everybody with new stuff. We should keep ourselves simple -- just a simple pair of blue jeans. Real blue, not washed out....beat up....ripped in the knees and selling for 5 times a much as a classic pair.
Keep it simple. Life that is. Keep it classic. Basic. Don't spend a bunch of time and money on yourself trying to be something that just doesn't impress. Go "classic"......like the Coke folks did. 92 years later....the Co'cola icon has made it to the big bottle!
Oh...one more thing. Did I tell you that I prefer Pepsi over Coke? It's the taste "born in the Carolinas".
