What if there was resurgence of the Glass Soda Bottle

[RC kid]

I go down to a local Mexican store and pick up bottled Coca-Cola and Pepsi products. I also go to Sam's for the small Coca-Cola bottles and Hires Root Beer for the kids. During the last party we held at our house, many of the guest asked if I had to return the empty bottles or if there was a deposit on them. When I responded with "No, they are no deposit no return" my guest were astonished. And as I hauled the three heavy plastic bags full of empty bottles to the trash, I kind of had to agreed with them, it was a shame to throw away all of those still usable bottles.

And for those of you who may be wondering, NO, in our area there is no real recycling as of yet. There is in the next town over, but for our community the only thing we recycle is aluminum cans which the local Fire Department takes responsibility for.

In Africa, the bottles are returnable. And like mentioned earlier by another member, I too would let the bottles go to a youngster who would return the bottles for me, of course he would also keep all of the money for his hard work.

I go to WInona a few times a year as well, Years ago , he would only fill if you already had some empties to bring to him, now he is letting you pay the deposit and bring them back..
Good people down there.

I've only been there twice but I love it there.  Here's a couple pics from my first trip a couple years ago:



 

Does anyone know where I can find some Barqs bottles?  I didn't have any so I had to get it in plain bottles.

They still use those yellow Coke cases somewhere?    Those are sold in antique stores round here. To cool!  I also vote yes.

No kidding! I have one on the wall of my den to display some tin soldiers from the USSR before it collapsed.  Bought it at a flea market in Chicago 20 years ago...

I think Winona is in Minnesota or somewhere up there...too far for me
Dublin, TX for the DP is far too, but I try to make it there every 5 years or so.
