The joke has gone far enough.
Aug 2, 2017, 5:37 PM
|

B-Meist please put a banner post clarifying that there are no Clemson Coke bottles.
A senior couple stopped me in the soda aisle (I was wearing a Natty T-shirt) and desperately was asking if I knew if the store still had Natty Coke bottles.
I had to break the news to them that as far as I knew Coke had not issued any Clemson Championship bottles. I then mentioned that T-net had posted some spoof pictures of the '81 bottle with photo shopped 2016 labels but they were just joking.
The couple was greatly disappointed. They obviously were fans that took the T-net posts seriously and we're going out of their way in search of these bottles.
I realize the posts were done in good fun, but there never was a post that clarified that it was a joke, and now there are good Clemson fans being led astray. So for the sake of the Clemson family , can T-net do the honorable thing and clarify that there are no Natty Coke Bottles.

You were just collateral damage in the dt carnage that's besieged tnet. Iron sharpens iron, but we're getting tired it's hitting each other. Soon we'll take it out on the opponent.

I appreciate the info. Never saw any on ebay so that should have clued me in. I was looking for them in walmart last week. Didn't go out of my way to go there. I was already there for something else but I was still looking down the coke isle and looking for a display. I was going to put it with my 81 and 74 bottles. I also have an orange 81 can and a purple pennant from the 40s or 50s. Man this is a bummer.

That's been the exact design for the past 3 years, and I don't expect it to change now.
I'd expect a one or two color print of the Clemson national championship logo, on that exact shaped bottle.

So you work at Walmart? Or do people just think you do?
I'm surprised those old people did not report you to management for not knowing stuff like that. Maybe try using the Walmart app next time, and it will point you to the correct aisle.

SOMEBODY is gonna be the first one to find, and purchase, these elusive Clemson NC Coke bottles. Maybe you, maybe me. But the fact is they WILL be out there eventually.
You'll never be the first one to be able to loudly and proudly brag on TigerNet if you're not out there looking - EVERY DAY - until you find them.
You do what you want. I'm making a run through the stores on my way home from work this afternoon. You just never know.
