Woo hoo! I posted a few weeks ago that I was looking for a Coca-Cola Script Baseball Cap. Today I received a very nice e-mail from someone with the Coca-Cola online store. He informed me that “the online store will be launching additional ballcap colors (including beige) in the next month or so. ”
Very cool, indeed.
See, I collect baseball caps. The cap that started it all was a Cool Moose cap that I purchased in Bar Harbor, Maine. I think it was in the fall of 1998. I’ve got caps from all over the states. But my faves are the Coca-Cola script caps that I get from the World of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta. But it’s been so long since I had the chance to go there and I actually wear my Coca-Cola caps, so I’m in desperate need of a replacement.
I’m so glad that I’ll be able to order a new cap soon. But hopefully it wont be too long before I have a chance to take the kids to Atlanta so that they can see the Coca-Cola museum for themselves.
