Do You Remember?

[wbute]

Anyone remember the glass 500ml coke bottles from the late 80's. you could knock the thread of the neck with a 50cent coin as neatly as anything. Couldn't do it to any other bottles.

[Innuendo]

I know soft drink is already mentioned on this thread in some detail, but I couldn't remember if anyone specifically mentioned glass 750 ml soft drink bottles (prior to 1.25 lt P.E.T.) from the bigger companies.

Anyway, I was under the house yesterday to look at where the water hammer was coming from, - I don't think anyone's been in there for many many years. Way up the back I found this one:



I couldn't help thinking, 40 plus year old Fanta keeps its colour surprisingly well! Yes I did open it to check for fizz (none) but the smell? somewhere between post-mix concentrate and lino polish.

I considered ebaying it but when I washed the bottle the label disintegrated, its in the recycling now. (But I wonder if it's still worth 25 cents as a refund in S.A.) .... it may have only been 10 cents back in the day, I cant remember.

That was a great find Dave, I remember the 750ml bottles fondly. Pity it was the paper label verity.

Coke tasted/tastes way better out of glass and seems colder as well. I have never tried to break the neck of a bottle.
