I once bought an ice-cold coke from a guy in a shack in the middle of a
jungle. City-boy mind didn't click that he pulled it out of a fridge, as
that's usually where ice cold cokes come from at the house... But then it
hit me, so I had to ask hi, what the deal was. The fridge ran on coconut
shells ("copra"?) so perhaps the movie was based on reality?
