This cute little vintage glass measures just over four inches high...
tiny little thing.....and, YEP.......it's BEER glass and not a COKE glass...:))
I bought about 4 or 5 little glasses, different patterns, at a garage sale several summers back.
They are perfect for a quick drink of water and REALLY perfect for OJ in the mornings.
I just ran over to WALMART and while standing in the check-out line,
I noticed these TEENY TINY LITTLE BITTY
canned COKES.
90 calories of PURE GOODNESS...
I had to have the cute things...
and they are the same height as the little 4" glass...
....too cute.

I THOUGHT I would make us
some COKE FLOATS withsome of these little gems
but, they were gone in nothing flat....
except for ONE...*shhhhhh
I have plans for IT.
When my kids were little, and also
the grandkids, I kept the little GLASS
bottles of cokes in the fridge all the time.

bottle opener, on the wall, right
beside the fridge.
I have always thought coke tasted much better out of a glass bottle than the plastic......or the cans....and I still buy the small glass bottles when I know some of the grands are going to be here.
I don't drink much coca cola any more......EXCEPT when we want an Ice Cream float......O BABY !
I sure hope ya'll have a 'COKE CAN FULL OF BLOOMS' kind of day....
It is 79 degrees here today (3/1/12)
Mr. Sweet is out playing golf with a grandson, BRYAN, and
I...........well.........I am about to have a COKE FLOAT.
And a sweet day to you too. It is 72 and sunny here, and we think it is summer today. Your tiny Coke cans are cute, and your glasses.
ReplyDeleteI love the little cans of soda - just enough of a serving for me! And that bottle opener brings back memories!
ReplyDeleteCute! We can't drink sodas ... but those empty cans look darling filled with spring blooms.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
TTFN ~

Wow. That's nice and warm down there...no wonder you need a coke. We're going to hit fifty degrees this week and we'll think it very warm.
ReplyDeleteWe made it to 72 or so my computer says! But it is so windy, I can't tell.
ReplyDeleteI use to drink alot of coke and I would LOVE to have one, but I gave it up. It added do much weight on me. Now I feel better without it. Plus my hands and feet aren't so swollen. If I do give in and have one, I swell up like mad!
In one of my old magazines, there was an ad for a fridge that had a bottle opener on it. How cool is that? I guess there isn't much need for one now.
BTW, Coke taste better in those glass bottles, doesn't it?
I've seen those cute little cokes. I love a good coke float. Cooler and windy here.
ReplyDeleteMy older boy loves his coke. He cracks one open every day after school. That float looks good.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that!!!? I love those little miniatures, too, Bj...and I always bought bottles when our kids were young. You are right-it just tastes better coming out of a glass bottle. It is hard to find them here anymore.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good evening and don't have to share your LAST COKE! xo Diana
I'm just like you in that I love it best from a glass bottle. And I do love a coke float.
ReplyDeleteOf course, my favorite is a root beer float.
Now your talking..i love my coke...addore the flowers in the coke can...xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that Coke Float my friend-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeletemy texas born girlfriend loves coke floats. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mother loved the small bottles of coke. She said they just had a better taste than the large ones. I agree that everything goes better with Coke. There is one exception: Moon Pies go better with R.C.!!
ReplyDeleteI'm having fun because my Lubbock friend is in town!!
Best,
Bonnie
79 degrees *sigh*, oh you lucky girl. Right now I just want to lay in some sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI have never used coke for a float always root beer. Sounds good though:>)
The best darn drink in the house!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
Enjoy the nice weather and your coke float. have a blesse evening. Madeline
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the coke float and the temeperature, its minus 20 here with ice and snow.
ReplyDeleteI buy those tiny cans of Sprite! 90 calories isn't bad:) Coke float sounds wonderful!!!!! Have a sweet evening dear BJ, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a grain elevator near where we lived when I was growing up. All the farmers came and hung out in the office. They had little coke bottles.....I think for 5 cents. My Mama bought me 7 new pairs of undies with the days of the week on them when I was 2. I put all 7 on.....nothing else and walked down to the grain elevator. I crossed the railroad tracks and walked about 3 football fields. The man at the grain elevator called my Mama and asked if she was missing anything.
ReplyDeleteOh BJ Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteI simply adore these little cans of Coke. They are the perfect vase for a little garden picking, I do believe they are. Who would have thought?
You are so creative dear one. I am so happy that you managed to save one little can for a coke float. Aren't they the best ever? What a treat that was as a kid. Especially over home made ice cream.
We are still sitting at 82 degrees at 7:00pm. A beautiful day, and yes I worked all day. Darn it.
Have a glorious evening sweet one. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
I remember bottle openers like that - just perfect for the classic 6 oz bottles. Except when we were kids, we drank Kool-Aid - Cokes only on the most special of occasions (too expensive for seven kids :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that the olden bottle opener still has some of its original red paint. I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteMariachis with Red Accents
I never see the sweet little bottles anymore and I do agree that it tastes better than out of a can or plastic. And this little half can makes a cute little vase!
ReplyDeleteYour weather sounds fabulous. 35 degrees and windy today. I had to do grocery shopping in it! ;(
XO,
Jane
I like Coke floats but I LOVE ROOT BEER ones even better!!
ReplyDeleteMy Granny used to keep Cokes in the glass bottles in her fridge at all times. However, they were NEVER for the grandkids! They were for HER!
Last summer I had Dublin Dr Peppers in glass bottles for my grandkids. Little did I know the Dublin plant was soon to close. No more DUBLIN Dr Peppers!! I have ONE tiny bottle left! I should open it and ENJOY it! I probably
won't, though.....
Love the new look on your blog!
So fun looking, I've never seen the little coke cans before, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI never like coke or any canned drink, they contained too much sugar! I always prefer plain water.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a Coke float in ages! I might have to make myself one now though :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
I agree with you that Coke tastes better from a glass bottle!
ReplyDeleteThis evening on my way home from Jazzercise it was snowing. I was horrified! It's March, after all!
Delightful blog! I'm a new follower! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteAnne
Very cute, I like it!
ReplyDeleteKisses!
Hi, Your post caught my attention because my dad worked his entire life (minus 4 1/2 yrs in the Pacific during WWII) for Coca-Cola Bottling. He retired as one of the VP's in NY state. Coke floats were always served at home, hehe. In fact in later years when hubby and I went back to Albany to visit my parents we had "coke parties". Growing up my dad, mom and I would go out to a restaurant and my dad would order Coke and they would bring it in a glass and he then would ask for Coke in the bottle. You know how kids can be, I was always mortified when he did that, but what I would give today to have one more time with my dad and Coke in the bottle. Wonderful post! Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing your cute glasses at the party. I enjoy Coke floats, too. Must have been refreshing to have on a warm day like you had. ----------Shannon
ReplyDeleteOh I adore the old metal bottle opener!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll stop by my blog. I am hosting a giveaway for a $50 Kirklands gift card.
HI sweet BJ, I used to drink TONS of Coke, now I drinnk Caffeine Free Diet Coke.............I, too, am OLDEN:):) The float looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! It is cold here in Pa. today, 32 right now but tomorrow is supposed to be 60 and Thurs. 70!!!!!!!!! I am so excited I can't wait. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteOh baby what a nice treat! I have not had a coke float in years...your making my mouth water! Nice photos
ReplyDeleteLove Coke..Cheers!
ReplyDeleteVisiting for RT 2- hope you can stop by:)

I LOVE diet coke. So much so that I'm trying to cut down and it's difficult. I buy those small cans frequently, just to keep me from drinking so much of the stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have a bottle opener just like yours. It's a real old one too. Never had a coke float - only root beer. I'll have to try one.
Love that vintage bottle opener BJ! I agree coke tastes better in a glass bottle than can of plastic. your float is very tempting.
ReplyDeleteRita
Oh I saw those little cans, just way toooooooo cute. Love the flowers, what a fun idea. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteYou have the nerve to tell me that it's hot like that over there...it's 27F here! lol I shouldn't complain since for the last few days it was -17F!!!
ReplyDeleteThose coke cans are just too cute, I've never seen them small like that. I've seen the small bottles but not cans. I was never a big pop drinker except I do enjoy a root beer once in a while. As for a float, I think I've only had one in my life!!!! Hmmmm, I've got root beer and I've got vanilla ice cream.....might just make myself one today:-) xoxo
I've never seen such cute little coke cans. Just the right size! Sometimes the regular size cans are too much and the soda ends up going flat.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gina
A coke float, nothing better! Especially while sitting in bed at night watching television! :) Of course I don't do that...but some people might! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw those tiny cokes at Walmart and now I wish I had grabbed some..and since I copycat you, bj, tomorrow I am going to rush right over and grab some. And I do mean GRAB! :)
