I must say, this site (www.shauisantos.com) isn't just up to share my nonsense blogs and to discuss who I am, what I like, what I don't like, what I made, what I look like and who my family is ... hhmmm, although those infos are all here, somewhere in this site! haha!. SS.com is here mainly to showcase ... and yeah, maybe brag a little about my Coca-Cola collection.
[05.06.08] Added 43 new items. As of May 2008, I have 519 unique items (611 non-distinct) & 171 trading cards .
This
is the reason that started it all, a 1990 Coca-Cola Calendar. It pictures a
wooden shelf with different Coca-Cola items. When the year was almost over, I had
one coke can (circa 1980s, filled with the small 25 cents - photo below) and placed it near this poster/calendar. The next
year, I still had no plan of taking the calendar down...why? coz it 'painted' a
part of my wall red. Fyi, I wanted to paint my room red, but it was a bad idea
then so I just thought maybe a little something reddish, like this calendar
would make my room a little red-der. Until I had another drink of coke in a
can...and hey, it's a different design from the first, so why not put it beside
the old coke can. And the rest, as they say, is history!
The 2nd photo is the very first
Coke can that I have, not quite sure what year this came out...i'm guessing
circa 1980's (1986 maybe). Do you remember the tiny 25 cents that came out?... J
I had this can filled with those. This is a 355ml can and notice the still
triangular-shaped lid? Oh and this was just worth Php 8.35
then.
As of May 2008, I have 519 unique/distinct Coca-Cola items, excluding the Coke look-alike items (12 items) and a whole bunch of posters and ads that I'm still trying to organize. For a glimpse of what I have, click on a category. But for a larger photo, check out :: Coca-Cola Collection ::
Gallery.
Thank you very much ... you'll be forever part of my life.
