A Day Out at the Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, Georgia

I took a trip to visit the Coke museum in Atlanta, Georgia a week or two ago and though the museum primarily traced the advertising history of Coca-Cola through the years, there were a few interesting items:

(1) Coke put a disclaimer on many of the displays to say that the views, opinions, and approach of the old ads are not to be associated with the current Coca-Cola viewpoint, and are only being displayed for historical value.

(2) They have a number of old Olympic torches on display, some of the coolest were from the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy (see picture here) and from the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway (see picture here). I was surprised that when I do a google search I can’t find any website that shows pictures of all the old Olympic torches.

(3) Tasting Coke products from all the different continents where they are sold was interesting. Some were tasty enough that I wished they were available in stores here, but for the most part I was glad to try them and glad never to taste them again. I think we drank around 60 different flavors of soda-pop in an hour. Definitely felt sick afterwards.
