One of the ones I saw for sale was called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alnamura.cz\/joes.htm\">Joe&#8217;s Cola<\/a>, which has a stars and stripes background.   I promptly bought a bottle, and brought it back with me upon my return to the states (though I never tasted it).  My collection remained stagnant until 2003, when Rice won the NCAA Baseball College World Series.  The local Coca-Cola bottler issued <a href=\"http:\/\/www.2collectcola.com\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ACC&#038;Product_Code=2BR03-1812&#038;Affiliate=Froogle\">commemorative bottles<\/a>, of which I bought a six-pack.  Fast forward to today, when Dennis and I stopped at the Super-K at the corner of San Felipe and Shepherd after decorating Anne&#8217;s mantel (finally, after starting the project for her birthday in November, and weeks after we broke up, but finally!), where I found the latest piece for my collection, Pimp Juice.
