Cola Wars

[Mike8850]

Here's my take on the cola wars.


I guess that Coke is winning because their caps were easy to get . The Pepsi caps took more hunting.
The Pepsi caps were unused with a cork seal which hasn't been used since the 1960s.
I trimmed the caps down, sanded the plastic seal off and wrapped them around the tube. I then cast them in polyester resin.
All comments and suggestions welcome,
Mike

I'm not a big soda drinker but these are nice. I know a lot of people who would love to have a pen like this. Nicely done!

Good looking pens! By the way, you never hear anybody asking how Coke's health is, but they're always asking "Is Pepsi OK?" :biggrin::biggrin:

Those are cool looking! Being a Dr. Pepper fan here. Lol

Nice work, they look great! I like the way you arranged the caps on the tube.

yep most local places around here are Pepsi since the Pepsi bottler is or at least was local. Coke came out of Ohio.

Thanks for all the comments
I'm checking out other kinds of soda and beers. Last year some of my best sellers were craft beers. I guess I never knew there were so many.
Just finished a special order for a Cheerwine cap pen. I had never heard of it, but it's suppose to be the oldest family own brand in the country. Always learning something new.

Can't wait yours should be there today( I hope)

Cheer Wine is sort of a southern pop. I've had it but don't recall the flavor maybe like Dr pepper.

In PA I've seen it in Sheetz.
