Stopped at a party store and found this. Has anyone ever seen one before?

They have made these for a few years now. A friend gave me a Bud Light one celebrating the Steelers 75th season

Cool bottle, have not seen those.  Just found out today though that you can get 7up in a bottle.  Cool!

They have been out about five years...you will usually see them at conventions, upscale hotels, etc. Coke is trying to make them hip and hard to find...

These coke bottles are really small though. They are almost the same size as a 6.5oz bottle. I just had one in Vegas. I was walking down the strip and there was a cooler full of them on th eopposite side of the street from New York New york. Neet little bottles but only in vegas would I pay $3 for a tiny Coke!

They where trying to introduce them for a while , and about a year ago around me... yes they are pretty cool..

I bought some locally from my local Coke Distributer but they only had Coke in stock,, however they did come in Dt. Coke and SPrite too.

problem they said is the wholesale price on them was like 23.00 a case to retailers... and outside of guys who like nostalgia,, who is going to pay more for less soda, just to get a cool looking bottle.. 

hence it did not take off around here.. I bought the last 6 cases they had at my "Employee pricing" I get with the local Coke Distributer but was still 15.00 a case! ouch
