Hi went on a road trip today stopped in a local gas station in mn found theses remakes of a 1899 coke bottles Really neat looking .. Heres a pic of them

Yep! They're showing up for the holidays, they got them in my local grocery store (Krogers) here in Michigan.& I've heard from other members tha Costco/Sams club stores have them too. they may be retro-looking, but I know I have some old late-60's pepsi-cola one-way (no deposit) straight sided glass bottles that look just like them!

My wonderful wife just bought me a six pack at Kroger's
she was heading off to Sam's club I asked her to look there
 for the this style she came home and told me they are not
there yet  She did ask for me.

 :down: They were...WERE.... at Schnuck's (grocery store) a couple weeks ago.... a friend told me tonight.... He thought I would have know... gone..... I'll keep looking...

I stopped at the store today and they had a whole stack of them. I picked up a case to put in my cornelius slider.  They're 9.3 oz bottles.  Kind of neat looking.  They were 4.99 for a six pack (plus 60 cents for the michigan deposit).

I heard they are at Walmart... They had them at the Coca Cola store in Epcot... didn't see a price tag, but I knew there was no way I was bringing them home on the plane, so didn't pay much attention..

What is the shelf life of a glass bottle coke? How long until they go flat?

I talked to a guy at the Coke plant in Stephenville, TX (12 miles from Dublin DP) before they stopped bottling the 6.5 oz. He told me that they would keep a long time if kept in a cool dark place. I personally have opened and drank a DP of mine bottled at least 4-5 years earlier and it was fine.
I have some bottled almost 20 years ago - hmmm...maybe I should try one?  :oops:

I got a case of them at Meijer's here in Cincinnati . My grandkids Love them .They drank most of them allready  :drinking: I also have been buying Orange & Strawberry Crush at Walmart in 12oz glass bottles .I realy like the strawberry Crush  & Wild Cherry from I.B.C.

Sometime in the 1980's my brother and I picked up a case of pop that had been bottled in the fifties or sixties Of the ones where the seals were still good (they had been bottled with cork caps and some of them had dried out) we drank them and they were still good after 20 or thirty years.

Hey Ltransam,

I will be in Cincinnati monday on the east side. Can u give me directions to that Mieir  u went to.

Thanks

I checked Wal-Mart thinking they might have the special glass bottles, but the two I have checked don't carry anything in glass anymore. 

       Gary has some original Coke bottles in his Icy-0 here in my store.
You're all invited to drink one if you ever visit   :drinking:   :drinking:   :drinking:

Schnuck's had a few left by the check out... I bought 2 6packs at 4.99 each... thin glass
but cool looking carton.. 

I couldn't find them at the Wal-Mart, but the local Kmart  had a few 6 packs  left, $4.99

Thanks Leonard !! Found them today in Milford. Drove right past the one u PM me about. That was exit #33 on I-275. I bought 4 cases of them  and sold 2 cases on the way home.

Thanks again

Found them at the local Safeway. Picked up one 6 pack for $5.29 for a party tonight, but I think that will be about it...for the price I'll stick with the regular bottles.

Wegmans also has them 4.99 a pack. They had alot of them.(PA).

They're plentiful in the northern chicagoland suburbs.  I found them at Walmart for $4.68/ six pk.  Also there are cases at the Jewel for a sale price of $4.99/ six pk.  Anyone besides me from Chicago? :drinking: :happydrinkers:

Mills,  I'm in Chicago out in the NW burbs.
