I found these old coke bottles in my great grandmas garage, completely unsure of how old they are and they value, can you guys help me out by giving me the year or decade these bottles are from and maybe their value. all of the bottles were never used, and all 4 of them are in the 4 pack

Welcome Motorhead. I would say since your bottles have aluminium twist top, you are looking at post 70's to start, not a expert, but if I remember right that is when this kind of cap was available, 60's you still needed a bottle opener, and don't remember 32oz. bottles then.

out of curiousity, whats the value?
-
I am just wondering if the Coke is still good?

Good stie for reference for Coke products.
Yours can sell for $5 - $15 each!

Oh, that's great. The famous coke we grown up with... and now here's it's origin! Cool. But there is something that made me curious. Somebody told we that at the beginning coke had green color... could that be possible?

Never saw Green coke.but if your old enough, to remember the ''real'' coke it had a taste that was hard to beat.as far as I'am concerned the new coke is nasty.

My 2 cents on the 'green Coke' issue/question :
It's simply a modern myth .
The inventor/chemist of the original formula was aware that there were visable impurities in the water & chemicals used to 'manufacture' the beverage ; the brown color hid these .
The bottles used were often green , however .

Here's a good history on Coca-Cola. No it wasn't green, but it had some "kick" to it in the early days that we didn't get in later years!

wonder if they still make 32 ounce bottles?

My husband's uncle was a Coke executive for decades, and he said the reason "New Coke" was introduced was to disguise the change in taste in moving from sugar to HFCS. "New Coke" was so awful that we were blessedly grateful for our good ol' "original" Coke -- except that it wasn't!
If you live in an area with a large Mexican population, buy the Mexican version of Coke. They still use sugar, and you can tell the difference.
