Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Is it just me or didn't drinks like these seem all the more appetising looking at the older style packaging? I used to love Panda Pops, and any of the Panda brand of drinks. Corona for me were the best, my parents loved the Creme Soda they did and I loved their Lemonade. We used to get loads of Corona drinks from our local CO-OP milkman. We'd give the bottles back for 10 pence a time.

I don't think it's your pc. I can't see them either...perhaps they are no longer there.

Just had a quick count up and I have 955 different Coca-Cola cans and around 235 different bottles, although the bottles aren't up to date.

All of the bottles and cans that I collect are made in the UK for the UK market or for export, or imported to the UK when we had water shortages or other manufacturing problems.

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Thanks I appreciate the compliments!

I started collecting in 1985 when I was 10 years old, my parents used to let my sister and I get a can of drink on a friday when we used to go food shopping at the local Co-Op. I picked up my first Coke can there as I noticed it was a different colour to the others, it was actually a misprint. The following week I picked up the standard can and it went from there.

Today eBay is a big help for me, although there isn't much that I'm missing. I once found some older cans from the 70's and early 80's in somebody's garden under some bushes which was amazing.

I also attend Coke collectors fairs, this year I went to a large one in Essen in Germany, and a smaller one in Meijdrect in Holland, and earlier this month we had the second UK fair in Bushey London. I have a box of old Coke cans from around 1980 with "Have a Coke and a Smile" logo on the side if you wanted one.

Anyway here are a few pics of my latest additions from the 1970's
