I had posted a different post about the Coca-Cola Museum yesterday that had many images and explanations. It was getting a little lengthy, so this part 2 of 3. Original post #1 is:

I liked this stained glass bottle decoration. Looks like it would be great for a game room or something like a home bar.
Part of the targeted advertising to women and housewives.
And of course there was more family oriented advertising as well. This is one crazy picnic. Just look at the sheer amount of food being brought and served. I've never seen a blanket style picnic have so much food!
Apparently, Coca-Cola was recommended to have in your emergency rations or "shelf" in addition to some of these more unique items. I especially like the box of Tenderoni and how happy the woman looks to be having an emergency shelf.
They had a multitude of various vending machines from all over the world.
These are definitely vintage and in perfect condition.
I'm 47, and I swear that a deli near me had one that looked like this outside. It looked old then too when I was 10 years old.
More global advertising from around the world. This is just some of it too.
Some interesting American familiar faces and some ones that I never heard of.
For those that don't remember, the Mean Joe Green campaign resulted in what is almost always voted as the best Super Bowl commercial of all time. Joe was known for being mean and his temper and he showed a softer side in this 1970's TV ad. It ended up triggering al sorts of print ads to go along with it as the commercial contined to air for months after the "big game".
World Cup Soccer pin collection for those interested in seeing a full set.
Super Bowl 29 collectible pin set. I never even knew that they issued these things. I imagine they are worth something to some collectors of pins.
World Cup Pins from 1994 set
As a native Philadephian, I was very happy to see this soda can again and a Phillies World series ring in the case, as well. There really wasn't much other baseball stuff there. This really stood out nicely to me, and I remember watching the Phillies win this series, and the one in 1980 vividly.
This was 14 images with a narrative. Perhaps that is enough, before I lose your attention entirely for now. I have one more batch of photos that have some more memorabilia and my exit of Atlanta. I will try to get then online tomorrow as well to close out this whole trip. I hope people are enjoying looking at some of these things that that may not be able to visit and see for themselves. Here are some of my other recent posts, all of which are about this same visit to the Atlanta area, if you'd like to check them out.
