The Bent Page

Coca-Cola celebrates another milestone this year in Aruba. As you can see from the bottle below, the beloved elixir has been bottled on the island since 1949.

You can see that shapely bottle is sweating in the breeze there at Charlie’s Bar. Only an ice-cold container will do that and there’s no other way to consume this beverage. Let’s take a closer look at the banner.

They do a great job bottling Coke on the island. The flavor is perfect, as is the carbonation. The bubbles are a necessity, and plenty of them are required. I won’t have it any other way and have been known to fire off nasty letters to any bottler I suspect of not producing the product as intended. Yes, I am the judge of such efforts and rule accordingly.

Bon dia.
