While we were in Atlanta we took Sunday afternoon to be tourists...and headed to the C
oca Cola Tour...with promises of a room filled with as much coke as you want!
The guided tour took about 16 minutes and then you were free to roam the place as you wish...Jeremy just wanted to find the tasting room. In fact, we ate lunch just before going inside and we weren't allowed to order any kind of drink with our meal so that we could "save ourselves to drink as much soda as possible!" I was not a big fan of this technique...but Jeremy is a big proponent of making room in the belly!
"Pop Art"...get it!
At last, we have found the final frontier...the tasting room!
The room was divided into continents and you could go to each circular dispenser to try the different soda brands by region.
I'm pretty sure these flavors were the ones from Africa!
This is Jeremy on his first round of samples...notice he is still happy.
I just fought off ten 8-year olds to get a very bad soda sample from the Asia area...definitely not worth the work or the fact that my feet are now stuck to the floor because it is so gosh darn sticky! Imagine what the floor mush look like with 500 people all trying soda from over 1,000 different fountains!
Okay, here Jeremy's smile is fading a little bit...we have made it to the back of the room where all of the American colas are!
Okay, he officially has a sugar headache...notice the grimace. "Get me out of here!" But just so the record shows he did drink his souvenir coke bottle about 6 hours after this photo was taken!

I LOVED the tasting room but we didn't take any photos - thank you for sharing yours! :)
We went there last month and felt most of those same emotions. But my recap would have focused much more on the stomach ache experienced at the end! We committed to try every single flavor, and looking back that was not a good thing!! haha
No way! You tried every flavor...I AM impressed...I think I got through about 10 of them...10% is good right? P.S. Was that you at the grocery store tonight? I couldn't see you under that baseball hat? =)
