Yep! They're showing up for the holidays, they got them in my local grocery store (Krogers) here in Michigan.& I've heard from other members tha Costco/Sams club stores have them too. they may be retro-looking, but I know I have some old late-60's pepsi-cola one-way (no deposit) straight sided glass bottles that look just like them!

My wonderful wife just bought me a six pack at Kroger's
she was heading off to Sam's club I asked her to look there
 for the this style she came home and told me they are not
there yet  She did ask for me.

I stopped at the store today and they had a whole stack of them. I picked up a case to put in my cornelius slider.  They're 9.3 oz bottles.  Kind of neat looking.  They were 4.99 for a six pack (plus 60 cents for the michigan deposit).

I heard they are at Walmart... They had them at the Coca Cola store in Epcot... didn't see a price tag, but I knew there was no way I was bringing them home on the plane, so didn't pay much attention..

What is the shelf life of a glass bottle coke? How long until they go flat?

I talked to a guy at the Coke plant in Stephenville, TX (12 miles from Dublin DP) before they stopped bottling the 6.5 oz. He told me that they would keep a long time if kept in a cool dark place. I personally have opened and drank a DP of mine bottled at least 4-5 years earlier and it was fine.
I have some bottled almost 20 years ago - hmmm...maybe I should try one?

Sometime in the 1980's my brother and I picked up a case of pop that had been bottled in the fifties or sixties Of the ones where the seals were still good (they had been bottled with cork caps and some of them had dried out) we drank them and they were still good after 20 or thirty years.
