I liked the old 8 pack cartons of 16 ounce bottles we used to get. They were phased out in the mid 1980's, but we would take the empties back to the grocery and redeem them for a few nickels and dimes. There was an area near the back of the grocery where they all sat, waiting to go back to the bottler to be washed and refilled. I always have liked the flavor of the soft drink better in glass bottles, too. ![]() |

We have co-mingled recycling here. Everything recyclable just goes in the blue bin and it is sorted later. No muss, no fuss. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

When they eventually started selling it here, it was in plastic bottles, the taste was not to my liking :-( |

We had a startup that died in the 80's, The Pop Shoppe. You would buy a case of generic soda in glass bottles and paid a deposit once. From then on you just returned the empties and took a new case. You could mix and match as much as you wanted. Wow it looks like they are trying to make a come back. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Plastic seems to ruin sodas, so the makers made changes, of course no matter what is done, some sodas still taste bad in plastic, diet especially, yuck.+1 If some company returned to using glass bottles, I would certainly pay a premium to have the original taste back. That premium would also benefit the enviroment - less plastic. |

We can buy soda in glass, plastic, or aluminum. We even have Coke imported from Mexico. in glass bottles that is true to the original recipe. ![]() |

I just wish they still distributed soft drinks in the 16 ounce glass returnables. ![]() |

The aliens made me do it................. " Inphachack admitted setting the house on fire and causing the damage. He said the previous owners were trying to kill him, but did not know the home bought by someone else. Inphachack said he has an alien virus from outer space, they altered his DNA including changing his height and that is why he spray painted the word on the home. He also said the aliens were making him upset. The criminal complaint says he says tried to burn the porch, but the aliens used black magic to undo it.

I do love it when a small business wins a very prestigious award over the ego-driven likes of Bloominggreedy et-al. Having eaten at the Fat Duck is I'm not surprised he didn't win, for the couple of hundred quid each it our host I was expecting something far, far, far better than the presented offerings.
