I’m not sure what message from the divine I’m supposed to take from this, if anything, but in my travels over the weekend, I tripped across this already vintage Coke machine down a random turn in St. Michael’s Maryland, waiting to run a 5K race in town.
Considering vending machines are a bit fewer these days and most accept swipes preferable to duckets, and there are those tap-baiting hundred flavor Coke product dispensers more en vogue for today’s choosier soft drink connoisseurs, I couldn’t resist chuckling and snapping this shot.
Only to see the same daggone ancient machine in Predator 2 last night.
Coke always did declare themselves “the one,” “the real thing” and “Coke is it!”
I’m not sure what cracked me up more, the machine or the “Sweetie Parking” sign next to it.

The Sweetie parking got to me.

The parking sign was the first thing I noticed. 🙂
Then I wondered if it was cane sugar instead of the other garbage…

LOL!!! It’s a cute little bakery preceding a local farmer’s market pushed away from the main drag and the overflow of tourists when it hits full.
