I liked the brown bottle one. They were all great. I am the Coke coordinator for the K-8 School in my area. For each Coke cap that I enter the code inside the cap, the school receives 5 cents. The inmates at a prison here save caps to help the school raise money. Well, I receive more than 5,000 caps a month every month. Any ideas on how to use them in projects?
