Anybody hear anything about the new 10 oz. Pepsi glass bottles?
So far nothing here in NW Indiana and I didn't see anything at Retro Soda's web site.
Here's a pic that glassbottlesrule sent me:

Yeah,
I've been searching the web for about a week now using every angle I know and have yet to come up with anything.

I just sold a restored jukebox on saturday to a gentleman who worked for Pepsi in the San Francisco area. I asked him if Pepsi was going to release a small bottle anytime soon because that's what I keep hearing. His reply was he hasn't heard anything about it. So maybe it's a top secret. I guess one of us is going to have to put on a leftover halloween ninja custume and sneak around the Pepsi bottling plants.

I had a phone # for the Pepsi bottling plant for my area that I used when I was tracking down Cheerwine in glass. I might give him a call if I can find the #.

I got a response from the manager at the Pepsi bottler in Warrenton, Va and he said, "At this time Pepsi has no plans for a glass 10 ounce bottle". Would be nice to see them.

I have just discovered that Pepsi are selling 330ml glass bottles here in the UK. They look just like those in the picture.Bought one from a pub. Tried it in the V-39. Bottle went in fine but the neck was just that bit too long. Pitty.

It's real. My wife is the purchaser at a large private club outside of Detroit. The flyer showed up in the mail last week sent from Pepsi Direct in Winston-Salem, NC. She called and told it was available but was $28.00 a case. While I will order some at this price just to satisfy curiousity I do not like to pay that for HFCS pop when I can get the 8 oz Cokes for about $10.00 a case.

Is it only regional? I wonder if I should pursue it. Why wouldn't the local bottler know about it?

They sell it here but I haven't tried it yet.... They're even running a
buy five Cheerwine products and get a free Cheerwine t-shirt....
Looks like they kept the old logo......
Sorry had to pipe in what little I know about glass bottles The Pepsi looks 60-ish....

The Pepsi bottler is the one here in Northern VA that bottles and distributes the Cheerwine and Diet Cheerwine. I like it and buy it by the 24 case for under $14.

Hello to all, this is my first post and I have learned a great deal reading your past posts. I contacted my local Pepsi bottler Pepsi MidAmerica, President Harry L. Crisp III and he responded with the following reply on the glass bottles.
"Thanks for the info. I'm having our marketing department look into it. We are interested. This market in Michigan is obviously a test market for PepsiCo on this package. We like it and see a fit in our portfolio of packages." I hope this helps to get the bottles flowing again in the midwest.

Well it showed up today. Only problem is they sent diet instead of regular. Good looking little bottles but it is a sticker instead of an ACL label. I' am pursuing this from several different fronts so hopefully it will get cheaper and easier to find.

My thoughts exactly. Although with it being diet it probably isn't as old as we think.

Post by: dr galaga on November 11, 2005, 10:17:13 pm
Nice looking bottle. I sure hope they come to my area. The only problem I can see us soda machine guys having is if we have both regular and diet in our machines. I bet the caps will both be just be the Pepsi swirl. I won't have to worry since I will only have regular in there

Good point Dr G. I would be stocking both reg. and diet in my machine and need info on the bottle cap. We may ask Creighton if a rubber stamp could be made small enough to print the word "Diet"?

I wonder why we've had them in the UK for some time now???
Perhaps it was tested out over here to see what the take up was. They are only available in pubs though.
What do you get when you ask for a Pepsi in a US Bar??? Des it come in bottles or just off the tap??

That is sometimes true. I hate when my wife asks for a Diet Coke and they bring a Diet Pepsi, or I ask for Sprite and I get 7UP or Sierra Mist. I am sure the same happens when ordering Pepsi products.

I got this a few days ago at a gas station in Wisconsin. It's glass with a resealable plastic screw on cap. It is 11.8 oz and I paid $0.99 for it. The display at the store just mentioned "buy it in glass", or something like that. Just thought I would share it with the group.

I've heard about that Coke bottle other places, they seem to only be in Wis. If you get a chance check the bottler code. I'm guessing it will be MR for Marietta(sp) Georgia. I haven't seen the Pepsi in stores yet although I have two different party store owners trying for me. Everything I've heard, which isn't much) points to these are only going restaurant/bar only SKU's. We will have to see.

Well the taste test was not bad like they say every thing is better in glass and how nice it was ice cold.
Ok it did taste like it came out of the fountain a little sweet
to me.
Yes they are a twist top just like your beer bottles,
Doc, Yea a $1.25 a bottle is a lttle much BUT
this was with the deposit .

That all I did.
