My fiancee's great aunt died last year. After gaining ownership of the home, her mom found this in the basement and gave it to me as a birthday gift. I thought it was super neat. Also, the bottles are a lot heavier than you expect. It's probably twice the weight of a glass Coke bottle of a similar volume today.

Throwback to the good ol' days. I was 2 years old when they won the natty back then. Hopefully this upcoming season can be the start of something great.

It's a cool memento. I have one of the coffee mugs, too.

That's awesome! I have the same one.
 
Everybody that was associated with Tech in 1990 probably has or had a six-pack of those. Mine are still in the basement of my mom’s house. The old bookstore had a giant pile of them for sale at the time - I can still see the big stack of them in my mind.

Okay, I gotta ask re: the source of the Burdell Coke bottle. That's awesome.

When Coke went to names in bottles around 2014 (i think, about then) they had a program in the Coke HQ where you could put in your name and they’d make a bottle for you. Someone put in GPB
 
My home game season ticket stubs along with the ticket stub from muttville and my Citrus Bowl ticket are framed and hanging on my office wall. One of the best presents I have ever received.

Don't know about that specific one, but I got a couple at a GT event in NYC with a high level Coke exec.
