A bit 90`s history.
On a road to San Diego we stopped at a small antique shop.
Saw this Coca Cola plain diamond can 1955-1960....
"
NEW BEDFORD, MA. TEST CAN FROM 1955
The primary reason for the test market being the military in the far east, was due to the question the Coke executives had about the taste of Coke in cans. It must have worked out well enough because later that year and in early 1956 a second test market can was attempted. The only difference that can had from the first was the removal of the "Prepared for export only" indicator above the seam. The common ground indicator that both of the two test market cans had that none of the later cans showed was the "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." line below the Coca-Cola in the large diamond. The first regular production Diamond can and all of the later Diamond with the bottle cans would have "TRADE MARK R" in its place. Both of the early test market cans extremely tough cans in good condition....."

..... 5 $ for an old empty Coca Cola can...never.

We drove to San Diego but I ´couldn´t forget this can.
Some days later specifically for this can I drove a part of the same route back stopped again and I bought it .:)
Payed 3 $

Interesting: someone with a Sumatran name in the Netherlands sells a 60 year-old can of US-bottled Coke intended for the US Army in Asia for 12,000 Mexican pesos, all written-out in English. Boy is that mixed-up !
 
Young Warren started with a six pack.:)

Buffett's Entrepreneurial Spirit

When he was six years old, Buffett bought a six-pack of Coca-Cola bottles and sold them individually at a picnic for a nickel profit. He would later buy packs of Coke from his grandfather’s grocery and sell the individual bottles in the neighborhood door-to-door during the summer. He set up a lemonade stand in front of his friend Russell’s house. He ran a horse handicapping sheet called “stable boy selection” and sold them for 25 cents each.

Part two
The truth
The Loch Ness Monster was first sighted today in 1933. People think Nessie was a menacing creature… but, really, she was a thirsty one.
