But, glass bottles (when fully chilled) are the next best thing! I still like my Coca-Cola over ice. But, glass bottles (when fully chilled) are the next best thing!

Coke is of course one of the best and longest lasting brands out there and they really know how to "work the brand." The coke is a glass bottle is not designed for a quick swig but rather it's to be savored. It the difference between drinking wine out of a wine glass and drinking wine out of paper cup.

It's nostalgia related, I think. Quite frankly, I find the glass bottles somewhat annoying to drink out of and they almost always are too small. I'd almost always rather have a 20oz in a plastic bottle. I was going to post the same thing Pete said. It’s nostalgia related, I think.

The way things were when you're grandparents were young. Things were better and simpler then. I think that just comes down to a little bit of nostalgia.

Coke is the number 1 brand in the world. They are the masters at developing brand identity and making you and me feel a certain way. I eat out a lot. Let's say 5 times a week. I always order Diet Coke with my meal. Whether its just a Diet Coke or a Cruzan Dark and Diet Coke, it's always a Diet Coke. I can't stand it when a waitperson says "Pepsi okay"? Ah, no, it's not. I hate the taste of Pepsi. Or at least I think I hate Pepsi. There was actually a study that was performed (maybe your new brain doctor knows of it) that showed that when the name Coke was mentioned people's happy emotions were triggered. Pepsi did not have the same results. Coke will always be a part of my life, like Crest Toothpaste and Bayer Asprin. There are just some ties that can't be broken. Thanks for the post.
