Phill, I've had a few people contact me about scoring some Mexi-Coke as a result of our bet.Before I become a "Coke dealer" I was hoping you could...1) Let us know if the package arrived intactand 2) Give a review of the drink so these folks will know what they're getting.Thanks,Rich

    Got it yesterday... man, you did a helluva job packing those bottles!


    and

    2) Give a review of the drink so these folks will know what they're getting.



    SWEET! mmmmmmmm... yes, this is what coke is suppossed to taste like, dammit.

    Thanks, hommie! We'll do it again for the x-mas game (yeahhhh... mexi-cokes and mexi-pepsis under my x-mas tree... the perfect way to bring in the '07 )

    thanks again

    Yo, Delic... I think I'm getting addicted to these sugar-loaded colas, mane. The mexi-pepsis > the mexi-cokes! I may need to re-up. Naw, I won't but I want to. I feel the effects on my gumline already.

    Why can't they make sugar cane Cokes right here in the USA for those that may prefer them? You know there'd be a market for them.

    Yeah....I like the Pepsi better and those bottles look like they were made in the 60's.

    Your Eagles can win you some more in December but this time we might as well bet a case since the postage is so crazy.

    Of course, but why not have a more expensive and exclusive version with the real schitt sugar? Give it a fancy name, whatever. I personally wouldn't buy them all the time, but every now and then it would be nice to be able to go down to the local Wawa and cop a REAL coke. I'm sure the bigwigs at Coca Cola must be aware that there are people in the US that fiend for the Mexican version... just come out with a new line, bottle a relatively small amount up and ship 'em out nationwide. Even at a buck more a bottle, or however much more, I think they'd have no problem selling them to long time caffeine addicted Coke drinkers all over the USA who miss the way that the soda used to taste.

    Gotta go to the barrio and find a Bodega or Grocery Store that has them.....not even sure if they are imported here by Coke or smuggled in??

    Quite a bit more expensive than what I find in San Diego, but may be worth it for people not close to the border. It really is that much better.

    Yeah....I like the Pepsi better and those bottles look like they were made in the 60's.

    Speaking of that... any idea why the bottles look kind of weather-beaten, or like some stickers had been pulled off of them? I was almost wondering if those schitts were from the 60's!
    I noticed they looked like that when I saw the Cokes up on Ebay too.

    As far as I know in Mexico the bottles are returnable and re-used.....I believe there was years of re-use on that Pepsi bottle.

    Yeah, the glass bottles are so valuable in Mexico that many vendors just sell soda in ziploc bags with a straw sticking out. That way they can keep the deposit.

    reading this thread is making me want to do a search to rejuvenate that old Vernors thread that was running a while back.

    there's nothing like soda nostalgia.

    ordering a 24 pack of 8 oz. coke bottles at $30 + shipping is nuts.

    it sounds like secret santa gifts this year could be an exchange of your local soda.........

    There is a Mexican corner store 10 minutes from me. Might be kinda stranbge for a white boy like myself to blurt out "I'M LOOKING 4 MEXICAN COKE!"

    Just look around...if they have it you should be able to find it pretty easily.

    But if you do ask them and they don't speak English make sure you talk REALLY loud.....that helps them understand better.

    I'm thinking that from here on out the prize to the monthly Trivia Q will be a bottle of Mexi-Coke or Pepsi!!
