We’re in Atlanta for work and play, so never having seen some of the notable tourist attractions, I’ve been taking that project on as well. This past weekend Greta and I stopped by a Powerade event Donny was working and were slipped in a back door to the new World of Coke! The museum featured a couple of short films (one in 4D), lots of artifacts, memorabilia and history of this 120 year-old beverage, a gallery, store, bottling line and a tasting room at the end with over 60 Coke products from all over the world to try. Favorites included Bibo Candy Pine-nut from South Africa, Fanta Blackcurrant from Hong Kong, Smart Apple from China, Simba Guarana from Paraguay. There was also a great Fiesta Atlanta Festival going on across the street, where we sampled some products, listened to some music and I won a package of tortillas!

Later, we stopped by The Varsity, designated The World’s Largest Drive-in Restaurant in 1950 when 100 carhops in 1950 greeted folks with their famous “What’ll ya have?” Originally set up with nearby Georgia Tech students in mind, they have been serving customers in Atlanta since 1928. The chili cheeseburger, hotdogs, fries and onion rings all greasily hit the spot.
