Coca Cola Museums

There are many museums for Americas most beloved soft drink. Many people are familiar with The World Of Coca Cola inn Atlanta Georgia, the homebase for Coca Cola. At “The World Of Coca Cola” you can sampl Coca Cola sodas drom around the world. There is a lot of Coca Cola realted information to keep you busy all day.

Although The World Of Coca Cola” is the “happening place” for Coca Cola I suggest an alternative Coca Cola museum if you happen to be near Vicksburg MS. The Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum is packed with various Coca Cola items from the history of the beverage but the highlight is the antique bottling equipment. 

Joseph Biedenharn was the first bottler to actually bottle Coca Cola for the mass market. At the Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum you can see the equipment originally used to bottle Coca Cola.

The Schmidt Museum Of Coca Cola Memorabilia is located in Elizabethtown, KY. If you are into Coca Cola memorabilia then Schmidt Museum Of Coca Cola contains a the jackpot. It features the actual counter used by Coca Cola at the 1893 Worlds Fair held in Chicago. You can book it for your next MLM meeting. How cool would that be?

The problem with the Schmidt Museum of Coca Cola is although they own a lot of Coke history they are not very good historians. The Scmidt Museum Of Coca Cola likes to perpetuate Coca Cola myths instead of telling the truth. The Schmidt Museum Of Coca Cola does not intentionally mislead visitors but they themselves believe various myths to be true. One of the common Coca Cola myths the Scmidt Museum likes to tell is that the Coca Cola company only allows two officials with the Coke company to know the secret Coke formula. This is not accurate at all but is commonly believed to be factual .

Your Local Antique Store

I have stumbled upon many historical soda pop memorabilia at antique stores.

Soda Pop Museums will contine to pop up as the historical context of Soda Pop is historically interpeted to apply to our moden society. Soda pop memorabilia is easily found but to be able to view many of these artifacts in one building is simpy awe inspiring to the die hard soda pop enthusiast.
