Do You Remember?

[Blocker]

The Angels without Doc is still a great line up. The Brewster boys still rock it out and you can't knock Dave Gleeson as their new frontman - he is a legend.

Love the Angels! We've seen them 4 times, once at the old Sandringham Hotel in Perth with Doc, once at the Raffles Hotel without him, and twice in Broome at the Roey without him. All good, nothing beats their live energy and base lines. 'This is it folks......over the TOP!!!!!!.

If we are talking the seventies, saw a band in my high school assembly hall in 1976. They were just starting out. ACDC.
Greatest rock band God ever shoveled guts into !

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.

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.

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.

Oh yeah! Coke tasted SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD back when I was a kid! The bubbles flew up your nose when you took the 1st swig and the taste was sensational.
Coke from a glass long necked bottle.........

Always feel like my dad when I say this but yes, agree with you Rob, " back in my day" , Coke tasted so damn good!

Just wondering about you blokes. You seem to be getting fairly excited and when you start using phrases such as
" up your nose " in the same sentence as " coke" well .......... Just wondering that's all.
