A Milwaukee paper did a story over the weekend on the two bottlers in Wisconsin that still use returnable bottles.  Here it is in case any of you want to read it.
Mmmmm.  I think I have to go downstairs and grab an ice cold Sun-drop out of the machine!  drinking

Seymour is all "flavor" sodas, which are all real good.  My favorites are the (dark) cream soda, black cherry and blue raspberry.  I buy Sun-drop and 76 from Twig's.  You have not had Sun-drop until you have the stuff from Twig's.  Made with sugar and little citrus chunks floating around.  The stuff that comes out of a fountain or is in a can can not compare.  I tried their Diet Sun-drop this past summer and it is good too.  It really doesn't have a diet aftertaste.  The 76 is a lemon-lime, or as they call it, a white soda.  Tastes like 7up or Sprite but a little sweeter.

I think a road trip is in order for me as well.. I have to go over towards Appleton for a Stoner Candy Machine I just bought... so might make a stop for some cases of pop... any idea on price of what they charge and deposits?
Either at Twigs in Shawano or at the one in New London ?
Plus I go that way for Packer games 4-6 times a year... so returns would not be a big deal.

The bottler in New London is closed I think you meant Shawano and Seymour which ar both close to Green Bay. Deposit at Seymour was $4 last time I bought some and I believe it is now $10 at Twig's.

When I could still drink sugar soda my favorites at Seymour were the Lime, Cranberry, blue raspberry and has hard as it is to believe their Cola. If you are at Seymour at the right time you can get Twig bottled Sun Drop saving you a trip. I used to love the 76 too.

I wasn't aware that Twig bottled the Diet Sun Drop in bottles so I may have to stop when I head over to Green Bay in April.
