It was discovered today (Oct. 13th, 2016) that the last batch mailed out may find a challenge along the way (as postage was not attached!). Here at VLCo we immediately sprung into action, collected whole new replacement batches until the rain came. WE WILL ALWAYS MAKE GOOD!

Ingredients: Equal amounts of Coca-Cola ® and

Fanta Orange.

Mix in equal measure (don’t tell your friends it’s orange, but this just happens to work out perfectly).

Voilà! Offer your guests Pumpkin Coke! (When you tell folks it’s pumpkin Coke, that’s what they taste!).

Sept. 24, 2016 - Orders coming in already, but the leaves are just starting to turn. It may be a couple weeks before orders get filled. Nonetheless, bring it on (you'll be first in line)!

Sept. 22, 2016 - This is the official state based (and rather thorough) acknowledgement of the turning foliage:
