Kids let me tell of the days when Coke Cola was sold in glass bottles. It is true Coke was sold in glass bottles and not just Coke all brands of soda was sold in glass bottles. It tasted so different then it does today.
One time that I had a Coke in a glass bottle was in the country of Trinidad and Tobago in the town of Sangre Grande. (I am often corrected on how to pronounce the name of that town so I look up the correct spelling) I was there with friends we went to the market to get food for that week that we would be staying there. As the other two shopped I went out to look around.
I walked up the street with people bustling every where for a town like this. Near the middle of town there is the a blue building (that you can see from Google earth) I turned from there up another street where I see people crowed around a porch umbrella two people quickly putting something together and rapping it in paper so fast you can barley see what they where doing. The quick glace that I got it look like a fried egg yoke so I thought I would get two. I said I would like two and the person asks would you like pepper on that and I said sure.

What I got what is called Doubles a common street food. *It is a sandwich made with two bara (flat fried bread) filled with channa(curried chick peas). Topped with mango, shadon beni, cucumber, coconut, tamarind, and extra pepper sauce (ranging from a dash "slight" to much more), this delicacy is the most popular fast food in Trinidad and Tobago. It is usually eaten for breakfast, and sometimes lunch, but can be a late night snack as well.
So as I went back to sit out side the market and try this new food. I saw something that I have not see in years just glossing it the cooler. A one liter Coke in a glass bottle so I bought one of those it cost 2ttd the currency in Trinidad. I find out later was just under a dollar at that time.
So I got to the market sat on the wall outside in the sun and had my doubles and Coke. It does not get any better than that.
