Watch 97-year-old New York diner serve Coca-Cola the old-fashioned way

Coca-Cola is one of the most popular drinks on any menu and is also considered to be one of the oldest drinks. It has evolved over the years and many today may not even be aware of the fact that there used to be a specific way to serve the drink at eateries. Most restaurants have moved away from the traditional way of serving the drink, but one New York diner has retained the practice.

The video of the preparation was posted by Nicolas Heller on Instagram and was captioned, "Lexington Candy Shop is a 97-year-old luncheonette on the upper east side that still makes their Coke the old-fashioned way." The video has garnered a lot of attention online.
