44. those small glass bottles were the best! My mom always called them nickel cokes

Dec 2023

she would stick them in the freezer for about 45 minutes, then when you popped the cap the coke would freeze from the neck down, and it was like a slushie. The best.

(as long as you got it out before it exploded)

I found small glass bottles the other day but they were HFCS domestic not Mexican.
