A family from Texas has assembled a record-breaking Coca-Cola collection of over 7,000 items
In the U.S., a couple from Texas set a world record for the largest collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia. The collection includes thousands of unique items—from bottles and cans to rare signs, kitchenware, and vending machines.
The achievement was reported in the Guinness World Records.
The record-holders are Bardo and Olga Cuellar from the city of Humble, who have been collecting for over 30 years.
Today, their collection includes 7,099 items related to the Coca-Cola brand. According to the couple, it all started with a simple gift.
Bardo Cuellar bought a ceramic set of four Coca-Cola cans for a friend’s birthday, but he liked the souvenir so much that he decided to buy the same one for himself. After that, his fascination turned into a major hobby.
Over time, the brand’s items filled an entire bedroom, and the collection continued to grow rapidly thanks to purchases at antique shops, on eBay, at Hobby Lobby, and gifts from friends and family.
“I never set out to break a record—I just enjoyed collecting Coca-Cola merchandise. Over the course of three decades, my collection grew thanks to antique shops, eBay, Hobby Lobby, and gifts from friends and family. Eventually, it got so big that my family helped prepare it for submission to the Guinness World Records!” said Bardo Cuellar.
The family’s collection includes vintage advertising signs, cans, bottles, vending machines, decorative items, and kitchenware dedicated to the legendary brand.
Earlier in Bukovina, for Vyshyvanka Day, they created a giant cake in the shape of an embroidered shirt weighing over 200 kilograms, which was officially recognized as a Ukrainian record. After the presentation, the sweet creation wasn’t just displayed—it was distributed in exchange for donations to support the military.
