There is a place called Coca-cola Park. It is also known as Ellis Stadium and is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. The stadium is the home of two of Johannesburg sports teams, The Golden Lions Rugby team and the Orlando Pirates FC football team. It is also a popular concert venue.
This year (2010), it is touted as one of the most memorable venues for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Coca-cola 100th Anniversary Design
Coca-cola Contour Bottle
The Coca-cola contour bottle was originally patented on Nov. 16, 1915, but it wasn't available to customers at retail until a year later. Nowadays, it's harder to find a true glass contour bottle on retails shelves as suppliers opt to have the less fragile aluminum and plastic (PET) containers. However, nothing tastes better than an ice-cold, fizzy Coca-cola straight from the original glass bottle!

Tubs and Ice Bucket
Items we have in our collection:
- Insulated galvanized ice bucket with the 'Delicious and Refreshing' logo and a wooden handle. This was a gift of hubby's sister.
- Set of three, oval Coca-cola tin tubs in different designs. We use these as accent pieces for our Coca-cola bottles.
- Party Tub made of red durable plastic. Measures 17.75" in diameter and 7" tall. Has handles for easy carrying. We filled this with more Coca-cola bottles.
- We have three mini party serving tubs of the same design and made of plastic. Measures 6" in diameter and 2.5"deep.

Coca-cola Santa & Polar Bear
The Coca-cola Santa was created to get more people to drink soda in the colder months.
The polar bear was part of the 1993 'Always Coca-cola' campaign. It was introduced to launch a new advertising concept, animated story board commercials on TV.
Not only did the ideas work, but it etched two of the most popular icons in advertising history.

Road Trip June 2010
On one of our road trips, we took snapshots of various Coca-cola points along the way.
Coca-cola New Bottlers Corporation in Brgy Lecheria, Calamba Laguna. This is an old Coca-cola plant. When we were young, there were large glass windows which you can view from the street. We were so fascinated with the Coca-cola bottles rolling along a conveyor belt. Wonder why they closed this facility.
The place is not abandoned though. Security guards roam the compound. There were empty plastic crates stacked on top of the other and Coca-cola delivery trucks were parked inside the property.
Right after Bato-bato Resort in Pansol, Calamba we always see these bottle-shaped contraptions formerly attached to the now-phased out Coca-cola jeep. They were on top of commercial stalls selling rubber floats (salbabida) and other swimming knick-knacks.
About 5 feet tall they were really eye-catching!
We tried to buy at least one from the lady manning the store, but she told us that the owner has no plans of selling them. We were told that people have been inquiring about them. What is the owner saving these for?
The new sales office of Coca-cola in San Pablo City. It was a weekend so we were able to get a shot of the compound entrance.

'Play Refreshed' Poster
'What I want is a Coke' Puzzle
This is a puzzle we bought in a hobby shop in 2006. We have a duplicate box which is a gift of our cousin Mon. It is a replica of a 1952 poster showing a lady lounging on the beach.
The puzzle is 1000 pieces and harder than the snowman puzzle. We placed it on a long table since it is somewhat narrow and long in size. Have not touched it for over a year now. Hopefully we can finish it soon and have it framed. Several hundred pieces to go.
