Title: Cool Dr. Pepper Bottles
Post by: mygoose101 on September 08, 2015, 08:19:55 pm
I've seen more and more old soda bottles being released which is a good thing although you pay for them as they are not cheap. I found this one that I thought was exceptionally cool. A Dr. Pepper 4 pack. What is really neat is they used the 10 -2 -4 logo. The 4 pack retailed for $3.99.

Those Dr. Peppers are very tasty.  It reminds me of the West Jefferson Dr. Pepper. Jewel, a local grocery chain in Chicago, has them.

        $1.00 per bottle sounds high but just think......we order our lunch by the price of the sandwich, then don't even flinch when they charge us $1.50 to $2.50 for a soda
in a plastic cup to go with it.

Just an FYI, but Costco down here in TX has been selling cases (24 bottles [4 6 packs]) for about $14. They are the smaller 8oz if I remember correctly. I normally buy a case or 2 when I go. They don't have the 10 2 4 logo, but are a retro design also.

And gotta love the bottled coke coming from Mexico.  They use real sugar and taste like coke did back in the 70s. Worth the extra money.

I agree they are a bit pricey, but nothing like soda out of a glass bottle!!
