Red Obsession

Just as blogging is my passion, my husband's own obsession has something to do with his enormous and still growing collection of Coca-Cola mementos.  From the time he entered the company ten years ago, he had already started this "project".  Up to the day of our wedding when we got the rest of his stuff from their house, it was only then I realized I have also married his collection.  Four years after, those boxes in our stock room have remained sealed and preserved, aging and becoming more vintage by the day.  

So over the weekend, during one of our spring cleaning sessions at home this year, we decided to open the boxes and check the souvenirs if something was broken or missing.  I instantly thought of laying them down on the table and take snapshots of just some of them.  I tried to photograph all of what we had but it was just too tedious to include all kinds that were in the boxes.  

I have chosen to show here probably the cutest ones in the collection.

wow, cheers! another soul added to the list of coke fanatics in the world! =) how do you like coke zero? the taste is close to coke classic, i like it better than coke light but that's just me. =)

hi jepay, i first tasted coke zero while i was in bangkok last march. it tastes like coke but not quite. a fanatic WOULD be able to tell. haha. and i don't like coke light too. i'm strictly a "classic coke" guy.

as for twin's wishful thinking, we all know that she won't get her hand on that bike. lol
