		<description>Oh, I remember the coke bottles when I was younger!  And since it was glass, my dad told us that Coke has to be reserved for birthdays, Christmas and New Year's LOL.  Even when we are at restaurants, we get those smaller glass bottles, and too bad not one of them was saved!

Glad that you two had a great time ever!</description>
