My wife talked me in to eating a Cracker Barrel today for lunch and found they had a nice selection of glass bottles.

I'm wondering the same. We don't like CB, but might check out the store if I'm near one.

Cracker Barrel we go to has decent food. Glass bottles were 4 for $4.44 on the shelf, Cokes were $1.09 each out of a restored ice cooler. I keep thinking I'm going to get one, but I drink so much Coca Cola with a meal I'm never brave enough to get one.

Pretty sure that's a replica cooler Pixel, way too many CB's around to have original restored coolers in every one. There's a whole industry around repop'ing old signs and stuff for restaurants and bars. Jim |

Prices were about the same Pixel mentioned and guess I'll mention since it was brought up,,,we like CB and Jim is correct, replica cooler. Just thought I'd post for some of those out there who don't have access to anything more than Coke, Orange Crush and IBC. So everyone will know,,I bought the 4 pack of Nugrape. Yes,,did spend the 4+ bucks for 4.

Nugrape was my mother's favorite grape drink when it was widely available. I'd thought about trying one of those too at the Barrel.
I didn't know every Cracker Barrel had one of those coolers, so I wasn't really thinking "replica". Those replica aren't cheap for what they are.

No,,those coolers aren't cheap. I'm working on Pepsi one down the street in a service station. Made really well and thought it'd be good out on the patio for gatherings. Won't have to worry about anyone destroying it. |

Those prices are pretty steep compared to $16/case of 24 at a lot of the distributers. I pay $16/cs for Nehi, A&W and Mt.Dew all with cane sugar.

Cracker Barrel is likely angling for sort of a souvenir shop aspect, which isn't going to be cheap. Glass bottles are seldom cheap in small quantities anyway.
When you say "distributors", do you mean someone in the middle of the supply chain, or more like Sam's Club?

No not Sams, I buy from a Beverage Company that distributes many different lines of Soda and Beer. If you can find a local distributer that sells to the public, they tend to have better prices. I buy from Greenco Beverage Co. in Greenville, SC.

I like the Cracker Barrel and have always been suckered into buying glass bottles of flavours of drinks I have heard you guys talk about but never seen before. I also buy their gum too. Beehams etc. Can't beat a bit of Nostalgia. Never ate there though.. Too many old people waiting to get in.

You aren't missing too much Dave. The food is OK but it is mostly very heavy "comfort food" - in other words lots of fried and lots of gravy. We go there occasionally because the boys really like it and they can afford to eat a 2,500 calorie meal, but personally I would rather eat at a local place. The nostalgia at CB seems too forced to me, but I have to admit it is kind of cool to see some of the old brands like Beemans, Teaberry and Clove gum. |

There's the rub, as the expression goes. I'm doubt many of them are even allowed to sell to the public if they were inclined to. I know it's a different product, but I once asked Nintendo about selling games directly to the public, and the response was that their contracts with retailers prohibited them from doing that. This was years before retail electronic software distribution (Wii Shop, etc.) In particular I expect Coca-Cola to be the same way. |
