Argh, this bothers me so much.

I have a Deathlands* novel lying around somewhere that has people -- 100 years after the apocalypse -- drinking old COCA COLA BOTTLES.

Coca Cola does not last that long. Save a can for a few years and it will go intensely bad.

* (The entire series revolves around canned food, but a lot of it is hand-waved as magic, high-tech military stuffs.)
