Title: new Pepsi bottle
Post by: sodaworks on October 30, 2006, 02:38:31 pm
Have you guys seen the new small 12 oz. Pepsi bottle's?  They are 7" high and 2.5" in dia. compared to the older coke hobble shirt bottles which measure 7.5" high and 2.250" in dia. My wife brought home a few cases and I was hoping that they would vend in my Pepsi VMC33 but the bottles are too big around!! What a bummer. I've been hearing for a couple of years that Pepsi was going to bring out a small bottle, if only it would have been a 1/4" smaller in dia. it would have worked in the 33's.

I got the Florida Gators Pepsi bottles.  They are real close to coke size. I got some Mt. Dew in green glass bottles from Alan a couple of months ago.

those Glass Pepsi Bottles are too long for my V-39 drum. They fit the hole but the neck sticks out just that little bit too far.Not sure if the 33 has the same drum size as the v-39.

I was toying with the idea of modifying the drum by drilling out the rear plate and putting them in front first.

I have heard of people doing this and they claim great results. although if the bootle was in backwards it maybe hard to grab and pull out. Just a thought. Let me know the results.
