This colorful cluster of discarded soda bottles awaits the arrival of the recycling truck at the curb along West 26th Street in the Chelsea Gallery District. My guess is that the labels were custom printed for a Fashion Week Event, perhaps. They look so lovely laying there, it seems almost a shame to throw them out. So, preserved here for posterity, I present your Pop Trash.
Isn’t this Gorgeous? Love It.
Coke is the Real Thing
Given a choice, I’ll always choose Coke over Pepsi, and I especially have a fondness for Coke collectibles and memorabilia, of which I have a tiny collection. So I was especially attracted to the website Cola Plaza, run by Xander – an avid collector of Coca-Cola cans, bottles and other Coke related memorabilia whose collection of over 8,000 different Coke cans is really quite impressive. Xander lives in the Netherlands and will gladly answer any question you have about soda can trivia if you email him at info@colaplaza.com.
Thanks to Neatorama for the tip!
Designer Roberto Cavalli, in a joint Venture with Coca Cola, has designed these totally rad Animal Print Coca Cola Light Bottles that, unfortunately, are being sold (in a “limited edition” of just 300,000) in Italy only. Drat! And if the comment thread attached to the above link is any indication, they apparently aren’t going over too well with the pop culture design snobs that trawl The Dieline Dot Com — which only makes me love them more!
