Making your own message in a bottle {Gadling}

May 8th 2010 8:11AM I'm 36 years of age and live in NJ. When I was 11 I was visiting my uncle on the coast in North Carolina. We took a coca-cola bottle and put a basic note in it, name, addresss etc. We shoved a wine cork in the bottle and through it off a pier. I forgot about it a second later. 9 years later I received a letter in the mail from a couple in the Netherlands! They were walking on the beach after a storm and discovered my bottle. I couldn't believe it! Try it, it IS possible!
