Without further delay...

I can't believe we've gone nearly a month without posting... Football season has a way of doing that, I guess. Ha ha! We've definitely been watching our fair share, and more, of college and pro football the past couple of weeks. We are the proud new owners of the NFL channel. We did finally make it to the World of Coke a couple of weekends ago

It was a beautiful day to enjoy the world's greatest beverage

The entryway is filled with decorated coke bottles and other art.

They had some super cool artwork in the gallery.

And some antique memorabilia...

And a timeline of the different soft drinks and their release...

Atlanta's Olympic pin series when they hosted the Olymics. There were literally hundreds of Olympic pins on disply there.

They actually bottle Coke at the World of Coca Cola (who knew?!), so we got to see it being made, and even take a souvenier bottle home with us!

And last but definitely not least... THE TASTING ROOM. Bryan and I tasted nearly all of the 64 different soft drinks Coke offers from around the world. They were divided up roughly by continent (Europe, Latin/South America, Asia, etc.).

Some were tasty, others were not.

And an Italian one, called Beverly, tasted like throw-up. Seriously.

And look closely at the center of the picture above... Simba has a soft drink named after him!

It doesn't look as though soft-drink fame has affected him much.

Here's a closer look. If you look closely beneath, you'll see the drink is from Paraguay.

And here's one last view of the tasting room.

It was a great time... and memories of the Beverly will stay with us for a very very long time!
