When you’re a desi living in the US and A or elsewhere phoren, your eyes become automatically accustomed to seeking out anything and everything desi. Featured below is a motley collection of desi stuff, in the Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta.

Review: This Coke museum is in a new building and has been extensively modified. I was much more impressed with the old one, which I visited more than 3 years back. Aside from the free drinks and desi ads there is not really much to see in the Coca Cola Museum. They have a tour guide tell you the story of Coca Cola and there is a short media presentation, both of which I was not terribly impressed with. There are sections displaying Coca Cola memorabilia and another one which shows the production process. The Coca Cola Museum is located in downtown Atlanta across from the Georgia Aquarium. If you do decide to visit both, then get the bundle ticket. I would not recommend visiting the Coca Cola Museum by itself.
Other touristy things to do in that area – walk through the Olympic Centennial Park, across from the Coca Cola museum, and visit the CNN Center, a few blocks away.
