‘Thermal detonator’ Coke bottles banned by TSA

Visitors to Disney’s new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction, can choose from more than 1,000 unique items to take home as souvenirs.

But if they plan on flying home, they’ll have to leave at least one behind — a specially designed “thermal detonator” Coca-Cola bottle the company made especially for the new attraction.

TSA has told fans that the bottle, which retails for $5, looks too much like a replica explosive and therefore won’t be allowed in carry-on or checked baggage.

Fans, not surprisingly are not pleased with the decision.

The bottles have been on sale at the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge park, which opened in May at Disneyland. They also will be sold at Walt Disney World, which will open its own version of the Star Wars attraction on Thursday.

A blurb on Coca-Cola’s website tells the backstory behind the bottles.
