Food and Drink CollectiblesChoose from any of the food & drink items below to find out more about the particular collectibles and how they have risen in popularity over the years. Coca Cola Collectibles -- With Coca Cola on the verge of celebrating its 120th anniversary, millions of people around the world are proud to call themselves collectors of Coca Cola memorabilia. Collectible Teapots -- Though tea drinking got its start in the Far East in the early centuries, teapots were not around at the time. The Chinese used handleless cups to brew loose-leaf tea and drink it. Many years later, the teapot as we know it was invented, and western countries like Great Britain and the United States are credited with the invention. Cookie Jars -- For the many lovers of fun, colorful kitchen collectibles, cookie jars are the "sweetest" of them all. What was once little more than a mundane, functional storage item has become one of the world's most widely embraced collectable pieces, and they are rarely used for their intended purpose these days. German Beer Steins -- You don't necessarily have to love beer to love collecting German beer steins, as many people already know. More than just a vehicle for holding beer, many of these traditional mugs also have incredibly detailed designs engraved into them that makes them a true piece of art as well as a collector's item. Kinder Eggs -- Kinder Surprises were born back in 1974 in Italy. The toys are designed by a number of engineers, designers, and even guest designers like French artist Andre Rouche. The egg itself, made by a company called Ferrero, is a layer of dark chocolate on the outside and then a layer of white chocolate on the inside against the plastic capsule that contains the surprise. The entire candy is wrapped in a nice looking orange and white aluminum foil wrapper.
