COKE

How many know what I mean if I would ask you "Do you want to GO FOR A COKE?"

Back in the day all coke, soda, pop, or soda-pop came in glass bottles.  When a few friends were standing around a vending machine someone would  say "Go for a Coke?"  It meant someone would end up reimbursing everyone what they paid for their coke.  The bottom of the bottles always had the city of a bottler molded in the glass.  The person that received a bottle with the city the furthest away, would win. This continued through the group of friends until the one with the bottle showing closest city, became the loser.  The looser reimbursed everyone their nickle, dime, or quarter depending on what the price was in your day.  You would be getting out dollar bills nowadays.
