No prob Petey! It's cool. I'm still getting used to the Midwest and any chance that I have to b.s. with people from Cali, I do. Anyway, Odelay Homes!

I believe it about them getting grief from Pepsico.  It was plentiful down here if you went into the right areas(along Vernor and Clark st.)  Lately it has been a rare sight indeed.  I had a case of that Orange Crush last year it was good stuff.  The Mexi Coke has been tuff to get too.  Whats weird is when I started buying this stuff about 4 years ago all the bottles were 20 years old and showed it, it wasn't uncommon to get Pepsi bottles date 79 or 82.  The last few cases I bought were all brand new bottles.  I wonder if not as much is coming up because they do not get there bottles back.  Johnie if you have an Indian grocer around you stop in and buy some Thumsup or Limca.  Both are made by Coke and usually run about a buck a bottle.  Really cool looking heavy refillable bottles.  The Thumsup is  a Cane sugar Coke knock-off and Limca is kind of a carbonated lemonade type thing that I really like.

I love those "Squirt" bottles with the twisting shape.





I remember those from growing up. I can taste that sour and salty flavor right now, just thinking about it.

Yeah, here in Northern CA, it's pretty easy to find those bottles at the so-called ethnic markets.  It's also the cool thing to sell them at authentic and non-authentic taquerias (places that sell tacos, burritos, tostadas, etc...)   '>

By the way, can't remember if it was shown in the photos above but you can also buy Squirt in a 12oz spiral glass bottle.

And the really cool thing is that if you hold the 7Up bottle up to the light before you start drinking it, you can see all the little things floating around in it!!!!   '>

Citrus-rind, acordingto Mexican law, if you state that you product contains lemons & limes, it must contain lemons & limes, gee what  concept!  You'll see Grapefruit-rind in the squirts too... :'>

Oh fwew! I had no idea what would be in there. I mean, even in Mezcal there is the worm at the bottom of the bottle.
I'll have to look for the rinds sometime. I learned something new today.

I agree I like that Squirt bottle, with a bottle like that you know whats inside it has to taste good.
