Coke Cola


Walking through Phnom Penh's central market a vendor, selling a coke cola, caught my eye. You're wondering what is special about selling a coke cola.

I watched as the vendor opened the glass coke bottle and poured the contents into a small plastic sack. Then she took the coke bottle by the top and used the bottom of the bottle like a hammer to chip off four pieces of ice from a large block. She placed the hammer back in the rack of empties, picked up the pieces of ice and put them in the plastic sack. Then inserted a straw and carefully tied the sack to seal it. She handed the sack of coke to the customer.

I have wondered why drink stands always have a case partly full of empty coke bottles.
