So, congratulations, Xeno. Thanks for being your Mythical best. – We’ve got some interesting stuff to get to. Let’s start over here on your side, Rhettess. – Okay, so, starting with, we have this totally perfectly intact set from 1899. (bottles jingling) I mean straight from 1899, it’s still in such good shape, – That is cool. you can rough with it. It doesn’t even matter how much we paid for it. We paid $12,342.72. It was an incredible bidding war. – I’m not going, I’m not, I’m, I refuse to be lied to anymore today. – Okay. Actually, this is a reissue from 2007, of the 1899 original bottle. So- – So it’s got an embossed- – Is this like when they put the, you know, the stuff in it? – Is it? Well, let’s go back to that timeline. So 1899, the process of bottling Coca-Cola began. 1906 it created a diamond shaped- Does this get into any of the, the, the milk of the poppy? – I don’t think that that’s what- – No information on the milk of the poppy. – That’s not what that particular, you talking about, Like, you know, Miami, Miami snow. – [Stevie] Cocaine was eliminated by 1929. – I thought that’s- and what? – [Stevie] 1929. – Okay, so yeah. So back when they bottled this, they were still putting, you know, baby powder in there. – And these are embossed property of Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Cause you would, they would, it would, you know, they, they wash them, they pay you a little scratch. Then they wash them and they put more Coke in it. – The bottle is the thing that was really being advertised. It’s like, this is the, don’t forget, this is property of the bottling company, we want this thing back. That is an interesting technique. It’s like, well, there is something in there, you can have it, also it’ll make you feel energetic. – It’s very straight sides. Very slim. This is cool. This is cool. – But, is it the coolest? – Its a capsule. I don’t know. Let’s let’s take a look at this next one. Now, this one is even older. Where’s this? Where’s this from? – This is, so scroll down to right there. Yeah. So, this is the antique Amber Coca-Cola straight-sided bottle, from Toledo, Ohio. Circa 1900’s and 1919. And this is- – It actually says Toledo. – A real bottle. So, this bottle is over a hundred years old. This is not a reissue. – It says Toledo, Ohio, right here. – And Lucas did get, no lie, in a bidding war on E-bay, and it got up to $77, and then Lucas just took the other guy out. It was, it got ugly. – He just was like, bam. Well, he did something with the computer, and found out where the guy lived, and showed up there and threatened him. – I think you’re just saying he outbid him. – He, he outbid him. – I think that’s really all that happened. – He just outbid him. – He just won the auction. – It was all legal, and it was all on eBay. – You know? So, there it is. Yeah. So the $77 collector’s item, I’ll call it. Ours is likely from the period after 1906, when Coke created a diamond shaped label in an attempt to authenticate their bottles from fraudulent copycats. But the imitators tried to replicate those labels as well. – Now, just think about it for a second. This thing’s a hundred years old. Somebody from a hundred years ago drank out of this thing. There may be some sort of bacteria in here that if I were to drink out of this, suddenly I like release it. And I, and I’m the one who starts the next big problem on earth. – You said that as if I was the one before. You did it last time, I’ll do it this time. I’m not to blame – Whoever did the last one. – [Jordan] You guys want to hear a funny story about that Coke bottle? – Yeah. – I wanna hear a funny story. – [Jordan] I was walking by Lucas in the parking lot, and he had his head in his phone, and he’s walking by and he goes, “Yes!”. I said, “what happened? You all right?”. He said, “I just won a Coke bottle.”. (Rhett laughs) He’d been scouting that thing for a long time. – Nice! – Yeah. You know, it’s a good bottle. And it’s heavy. Do you notice how heavy it feels? Like this is, this is this old school glass. – Back when we would go out into the woods, and just, look for stuff, kick up stuff, and find stuff in abandoned houses. There’ll be a lot of bottles that will come up out of the ground. Like medicine bottles, with like little screw tops, and Coke bottles and all types of vintage stuff. – I didn’t remember. – Oh, yeah, I was fascinated by that crap. – Did you bring it home? Put on your shelf? – No, I thought about it, but I didn’t have a satchel to take this stuff back. – You remember the house that was- – But I remember all of those intricate little, like, medicine bottles. – I think you did that on your own. But, do you remember that house that was next to your house, that you lived in on Gregory circle? And your house was, like, the first house in that neighborhood, or one of the first houses. And there was a house that was being built next to your house, and it was just a frame, and of course, just a frame house that was open. Like a little boy’s dream to just go in there. – Yeah, yeah. – And of course I was already like six foot one. I was, I was 6’4 in eighth grade, so like, I was probably like six feet tall in sixth grade. – Yeah. – And I get into a doorframe, and for some reason we were trying to do this thing where we were like jumping up, and seeing how many like spins we could do in a row. – Yeah. – And I’m in the doorframe, and I jumped, and I just hit my head directly on the door framing. Collapsed. – Yeah. It was bad. It hurt. – I still think about that from time to time. – I mean, how did you not get a concussion from that? – I probably did, man. That’s the thing, I’ve had several. – I know, for real. – What year is it? – It’s nothing to be played with. All right, what’s this next one we got? This is a diamond- – We don’t have- – This is the diamond shape. – That’s what it would’ve looked like back in the day. – Yeah, to authenticate the bottles. – This is what it would’ve looked like. – So you think it would have had that on it? Mhm. – I mean, I think so. – Yeah, yeah. This is new. This is a replicate. All right. So let’s keep these together. – But which one’s the coolest so far? – I mean, this oldie- – There’s nothing in it- – I kinda, this is like a tall, skinny, red stripe bottle. You know? It’s like- – You can get this one in your mouth. – No. – Okay. – I, you know, I’m not falling for anybody’s tricks anymore. – Hey. – And then we get to the classic voluptuous shape. – They call this the contour bottle. – Let’s see some information. 1950 the bottle we now know today, referred to as the contour bottle, appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. – I remember that episode. Episode. – Of Time Magazine? – Yeah. I, I, no, I watch it in documentary form now. It’s just all slow zooms. Ken Burns did a whole thing where he just went through all the time magazines, and just as slow zooms on all of them. And that was one of my favorite episodes. – But Coke must have been a big deal to be on the cover of a freaking magazine. They didn’t have a lot to talk about. I mean, no Kardashians way back then. – Right. All you had was your Coke. – In the late 1950’s, Coca-Cola decided to stop embossing the cities of origin on its bottles. That was a, that was a big thing. That was a big problem back then. A lot of people with lots of opinions. Yeah. Met with surprisingly heavy resistance from Coke drinkers who often created games involving the cities. Oh, that’s sad. – All those games had to stop. All those fun 1950 games, where you played games based on the cities on your bottles. That’s how people could get entertained back then. They didn’t require a couple of nimrods to do something on the internet. They just had a bottle with a city on it, and they were like, “this is going to be fun”. – Fun for days. – This is going to be great. – Hey, did you see the new Time Magazine cover? – I’m going to go find an abandoned house, I’m going to give myself like a concussion I’m having so much fun. – The next one is a great find. It’s a mug. – Wow. – It has nothing to do with Coke, but has everything to do with us, and you, and our relationship. – Well. – You put hot liquid into this Good Mythical Morning mug, and it reveals this amazing design. It goes all the way around. This is a, this is a hot-poured mug, but then if it gets cool this all disappears, and all you can read is the Good Mythical Morning. – Here’s the interesting thing, if we released that in 1950, it would be on the cover of Time Magazine. Like, think about that. Like, if we could go back to 1950 and just amaze everybody, we bring this out and they’re like, well, we all we got, we’ll take the Coke off, we’ve got our cover. These two, nimrod’s got this, you put hot liquid in there. Do the, one cover for the front, one in the front, and one in the back. – This is a great bottle though. – It’s classic. – And then you got this one, which doesn’t say anything, unless you look closely. And then it says the same thing. It says the same thing. – So what, what do you like better? Do you like it? I like it. I like this one. – Embossed? – I like the classic embossed, better than the logo. It’s hard to see maybe in that shot, but this is like, this reminds me of momma Nell’s house. She had both of these, I think. – And I remember with my Papa, when I was little, we would drink the, we put peanuts in these, and we drink them and eat the peanuts. And then you would return it and you get a little, you get a 5 cent back. These don’t even say, I mean, there’s still states where you can do that. This says Rome, California on the bottom. Rome, Georgia. That makes more sense. So they put the name back on it, or maybe that’s because it’s a replica. – Did you notice that there is a code on the bottom of these bottles? You see that? Is that? Oh wait, – Please recycle. – What is that? Is it some sort of code? – Emily, can you hear us? – That’s like, like, its very braille-like. – This one doesn’t have it. – [Emily] Hey there, how’s it going? – Yo. – [Emily] Hey. – What is the, what is the code? – [Emily] Yeah, so apparently you can find out, like, what year they were made after 19, in between, like after 1916, apparently they put four digit numbers, separated by pairs, and a dash that identified the bottle mold, which is the first two numbers and the year of its manufacturer. So if you see 30, it would mean 1930, or 50, 1950. – It’s just raised bumps. – [Emily] They don’t have that thing on there? – Yeah, well, they’re on the re-issue ones. They’re on anything that’s modern. – [Emily] It should be, but like they could have, I guess they could have stopped doin’ it. – No, no, no, no. It’s on this one and it’s on the ones from 2007. Is it on this one? – No, it’s not on that one. That’s pretty cool. Wow. I mean, I would have guessed that it’s just braille. – Like okay, this is just a regular Coke. – On the bottom of the bottle? – No, like on the bottom- – The bottom ridge. – The bottom ridge. Its not on the bottom, but on the side at the, at, towards the, towards the bottom, – [Emily] Oh, cool. – It says no refill. Hey, I’d like a refill. Get out of here. – I don’t think I, you can’t return that one. All right. Let’s not delay the inevitable. – Well, we got it. We can’t not talk about the Daytona 500, 2008 50th anniversary of the Daytona 500. Man. You know, the 1998 Coke became the official drink of NASCAR. – This one’s not going to win, Rhett. Stop, stop even trying. It’s it’s a normal bottle, but it- – But its the Daytona 500. – Yeah, It’s got a race car, Rhett – Is your dad still watchin’ racing. – I’m sure he does. That’s, when I talked to him, that’s not the thing that I ask about. You still watching racing. I’ll ask him, okay. And now we got this can from the 1980s. I don’t know if you remember the eighties, but whenever you got a can, it would be in a sealed plastic bag. – Yeah. It was weird. – And the, and only half of the drink would still be in there, and a lot of it would just be coming out in the bag, right. – It was a grand time. – How much did we pay for this? Do you guys know? We got it on eBay, it’s unopened, but it’s leaking. That’s why – I hope Lucas. wasn’t too proud of himself when he won that bidding war. – So this is a 1980 can of Coke, that leaks. – And that’s just regular Coke. That’s, ’cause it looks, I would have told you that that was New Coke based on the logo. – Well, you can’t see it, but like right here, it says Coca-Cola and then here it says Coke. – ‘Cause didn’t they bring new Coke out when they did the new Coke logo? – There was a point when they were synonymous, I think, Coca-Cola and Coke. Same thing, apparently, in the eighties. And then at some point, I believe in the eighties, they, they branched off of Coke became New Coke. – Wild times, man. – Yeah- – [Emily] It was $25. – It was crazy. It was a crazy time in the world of beverages. – Hey, be careful with that. Handle that gently, man. You might have to send that back to eBay. – I mean, this is not too special. I, I’m actually thinking that the elongated red stripe is really cool, but nothing beats this. Nothing beats this right here. – Except this. – [Stevie] Well, you heard it definitively here today, folks. – This is my pick. – Put this on the cover of Time Magazine. – That’s Rhett’s pick. – [Rhett] We’re bringing the heat with our newest mug, the GMM heat activated mug with an image that changes when you add hot liquid, get it now at mythical.com
