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.
Below is a collage of photos taken at some Ghost towns I have visited.
