The World of Coca Cola

At the World of Coca Cola
Were mementos by the score,
All of Coke-related products,
Bottles, cans and so much more.

There were posters from the 50’s,
Coke machines and pins and toys
And collectors’ items for the drink
Most everyone enjoys.

After watching little films and
Taking quizzes just for fun,
Our last stop was in the tasting room
Before the tour was done.

There we sampled many flavors
‘Til at last we’d had enough.
I would recommend a visit,
Though I never drink the stuff!

Adorably penned, Ilene... Did you ask for a pre-'30's tour -- when actual cocaine was one of the ingredients? Heh, heh

Ha! Interesting that they never mentioned that the whole time we were there, though it’s a known fact…

I'm a Diet Pepsi addict myself, and I do mean addict. But The World of Coca-Cola does sound interesting. A wonderful poem my friend.

Thanks, Jerry! I don’t drink any sodas at all, so I couldn’t tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, but I know it’s glaringly obvious to the devoted fans…
