Today, my family from Jersey decided to take a trip to Atlanta, Georgia (it's only a 3 hour drive). I tagged along in hopes of getting one last hurrah in before school tomorrow. The World Of Coke is surprisingly awesome. However, I do not recomend doing acid then going there (not from personal expirence), the exhibit centered around the secret formula was trippy. Not only were there projections, cameras everywhere, and strange whispering sounds. It made me feel quite uncomfortable, but sometimes I'm just a scaredy-cat. Theodore "Pop-Culture" exhibit was amazing. I guess I never realized how influential a soda could be. The museum had the original advertising posters from the 50's. My father said the museum would have been a "[antique] picker's heaven". I do have to say that my favorite exhibit had to be the Coke tasting room. It was fantastic! I tried Coke products from Africa, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America! Some of the tastes weren't expected, like the "Beverly" from Italy.
I tried every flavor there, because even if you didn't fancy the taste, you still tried it and made the memory. We spent about 30 minutes in the gift shop, but I don't mind because my aunt and uncle bought me a cute shirt (which I'm probably going to wear tomorrow on the first day of school). After The World of Coke we went to The Atlanta Underground (which is a pain to get to, we got lost. Twice.). Atlanta's Underground is similar to a market place or a shopping mall with a lot of kiosks. I was quite worried the whole time because there were so many people who appeared to be nafarious, it was a sketchy place. According to my uncle and father the area had really cleaned up since they were here in the late 70's/early 80's. We ate at this little restaurant called "The Georgia Peach", they had amazing southern food (better than my Mama's). I didn't even care the location of the restaurant once food hit the table. It was seriously some of the best food I have ever had. Overall, I think the last hurrah to my summer was quite a sucess, I've definately made some great memories today!
