LOVED these little aluminum Coca-Cola bottles I found in the mini-bar at the Hotel Vitale during LL’s Birthday Bash weekend:

The styling is very cool, like Heidi Klum says it: a space-age descendant of the old timey glass Coke bottle. They’re sweet little bottles, only about 6 inches high and holding 8.5 ounces of soda, making regular 12-oz cans looks squat and overfed. The screw-top lid is, hands-down, the biggest plus; the beverage lasts longer that way. Best of all, though, both the lid and the bottle are made completely of aluminum, so the materials are infinitely recyclable.

Whatever my disparaging opinions are about high fructose corn syrup, I’ve got to admit that Coca-Cold did a great job on this one. I confess I was sold, and I don’t even like soda. Kid Two does, though – we let him open one and he sipped on it for a few hours then rinsed and brought the empty home. He’s been keeping it filled with cold water at his desk. At $4.00 for the bottle, I’m glad he loves it too.
