Does the Tennessee bottling company still > bottle these, or is the ad a phoney? Having lived in Nashville for 5 years (1979-1984), I can tell you... the "Tennessee bottling company" in middle Tennessee, at least, is Wometco, the same Wometco that owns bottling companies other people have referred to in here; and the Cokes cost the same there as anywhere else. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if they cost a dime at Jack Daniel's tourist exhibit; though that's hardly "real" Tennessee. (Real Tennessee can be observed at places like Mack's Cafe, just down the hill (South) from where all the tourists go to see Nashville.) (Or maybe Ducktown Basin :-)). (Actually the bottler for where Jack Daniel is may be located in Chattanooga, though... Jack Daniel's is about an hour or two's drive in the direction of Atlanta from Nashville, which is also in the direction of Chattanooga.) Give me North Carolina for "folksiness" anytime. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
