Source: Selfridges & Co. In Celebration of Coca-Cola’s 125th anniversary, they are reproducing the original bottle that Coke came in way back in 1886. Unfortunately, the only place I found them for sale is at Selfridges & Co. for £1.99. How come the Brits always get all the good stuff?

I really think that if food companies started designing their packaging more like this, they’d have a lot more people my age buying their products. This packaging would win me over any day. I’d want to buy them all just to make my kitchen cabinet look so well designed.  Source: Erik Johansson
