My grandmother canned all her veggies and bought in bulk when there were sales. She had a room in the basement that a doomsday prepper would envy. I remember once in 1988 she served us some coke with lunch - a rare treat - and I got a look at the bottle. It referenced the 1980 Olympics! It was rather flat and barely drinkable but maybe that was partly due to the gross-out factor. I was telling my 10 year old this story just a couple of days ago after he informed me that we had a bottle of coke in our garage fridge that had been there since a Christmas party (we obviously don’t drink much of the stuff). I can’t wait to show him this.
