nice study - it is funny to think that items we use and throw away every day can become memorabilia.....

A kind of photo I can't take. All that stuff lacks the elegance of a bottle of wine. Condescending a bit, even of a can of Guinness.

Never mind the bottle or the can, it tastes better with a hefty dose of Rum

I like Lillys original green bottle......... but don't you like Pepsi ?

@observing: :
(from Ronnie) No, Pepsi tastes kinda metallic to me and, in real life, away from the camera and Lilly's memorabilia, I drink only Diet Coke !
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
Great job with the lighting. Pepsi is also too "syrupy" for me. Not enough carbonation.

Actually, I think Lilly is wrong - aren't the small cans for "shorts"? Be that as it may, this is a great collection of the old and the new - super shot.

Great shot! I like the vintage look of the background and the glass bottle. When a woman has great curves here in Jamaica we refer to her as having a coca cola bottle shape!

I had a Coke recently and I think the Coke in a bottle tasted better when I was younger. But then maybe my taste buds are gone. Very good still life.

You really should be getting some compensation from the Coca Cola company. They should use this in their advertising.

ah, the diet coke will get you in the end! i had to give it up years ago - but not before the aspertame knocked out big chunks of my memory. i mostly drink carbonated water these days - but there is nothing quite like an ice cold 16 ounce bottle (glass, not plastic!) of coke on a hot summer day...

Like an old poster, love the mood, Norman Rockwell's like -

Coke reborn! You have given new life to this old classic. I agree completely with K@ comment..... a poster, and Norman Rockwell style.
The clarity with the soft background really gives a 3D impression. I like the transparency of the edge of Lillies bottle.
This one gets the prize Blue Ribbon (isn't that a beer?)
Side note: I never drink the stuff, diet or otherwise. No nutritional value.

Coca cola...They have done so well...we can find their drink in the smaller village of the world. I haven't see those nice shape bottles since a long time but I am not a coca cola drinker.

Evolution and obsession for the most famous drink in the whole world.
Lovely frame, I love the fact that the palette of colors remains even thought the frame.

WOW! I knew someone who collected coke bottles and cans collectibles too. Is that a picture or a real shelf of collection on the left? If the latter,then you've got a great collection there! Keep it for another few decades and you can auction it off to retire comfortably:)

The original green bottle it cool, and I like how the green tone comes through in this shot. Quite a collection and the squashed can speaks volumes. Cool shot!

Excellent all round here. I applaud you for the concept and the carrying out of this. Funny, too, of course!

I agree -- excellent all around and a great collection... I remember when crushing a can actually took some muscle...
