Twenty-five years ago, professional disc jockey David Lee Allen bought a single piece of Coca-Cola memorabilia. Then he bought another one. And another one. His collection grew so large that he’s created his own museum dedicated to his favorite soda—David Lee’s Cola-Zeum. Showcased in the museum at the Hickory Point Mall in Forsythe, IL, are a full-size Coca-Cola denimachine van, a R2-D2 cobot (Coke-robot), and many other iconic Coke emblazoned items.
