8. HAVE A COKE AND A TRAY!

They don't serve Coke on trays anymore.
But back in the '50s, Coke in glasses was served at soda parlors on colorful metal trays such as this original "Menu Girl" tray. Even the ad slogans are on the rim of this tray: Thirst knows No Season and Have a Coke. Gives you something to read while waiting to make your move on your date. Tray measures 10-1/2" x 13-1/4". The slight paint chip and normal wear do not detract from the vibrant charm of this tray which I picked up in a Chatuchak collectible shop in Bangkok. Now how do you say "Have a Coke and a smile" in Thai? Hmmm..
