Giant Ol' Bottle of Coca-Cola with original cap. Purchased as a result of a BIN request from a very nice lady. Upon receipt, I filled it with black OPS resin. I'm working on finding the right spot for this beauty.

Very cool Dave! I really like it next to the barrel or on top of it.
Thanks Perry. I've narrowed it down to those two options. I can see one of the kids bumping into the barrel, so I'm leaning toward on the floor.
Looks too cluttered where it is now. I'd place it on the left side of the cooler....or in your bathroom, so you can have something to measure yourself by.
What you call clutter, I call eye candy... umm...inanimate eye candy (there's another kind :) As far as putting it in the bathroom, I'm definitely taller than the bottle TGBWC!!!!!;)
TGB, U r sick! You just got that in before I saw it! I'm still waiting on somebody to ID my bottle I posted last nite before it was DELETED.
Uhhhhh, sorry, not touchin that!
Good reply Signa!
There is plenty of eye candy there, but a little more never hurts. Just keep stacking and shuffling, it will all find a spot, even if it ends up under a bed (forgotten) or in the bathroom.....
I like the term "Eye-candy" Daddy-No. May I use that or do I have to pay royalties?
Actually, I think the cooler would look great on my gallery full of Stella Artois but the shipping cost to SXM would be prohibitive. I can always dream as that's all any gov't allows us to afford.
Sure blunderbuss, feel free to use eye-candy as you wish. It's primarily used here in The States as a term of endearment when describing beautiful young ladies. (As in " Whoa, check out that eye candy!!!":). I've adopted the term to describe my beautiful old Coca-Cola collectibles as well. Once could say that maturity (and matrimony) demands that sort of transitional focus.
Thanks Tommy, I hear you, there's always a spot for each piece and always room for more! I look at the open wall space down here and it scares the living hell out of me!!!! :)
I've only heard that term once before. I've only been to the States a couple of times in the past 12-15 yrs even though born so. I have noticed that people even in the area where I'm from have trouble understanding me. I bought a truck to ship on "9/11" & getting out of the country by private plane is a story I like to tell. Ordered down in Grand Turk & thought we would be shot down over "Rosie" in P.R..
But life goes on.
