Also just to note this is not the "dancing P" version, These were used before the "Dancing P" was introduced.

All I can think of was when my kids were small and had to use the washroom badly. :biggrin:

Joey,

Years ago I collected a few bottles that I thought, at the time, were cool.  I looked for them and found them in a cabinet.  Here's a Dr Pepper embossed bottle, an RC, and a Pepsi.  I never saw an embossed DP bottle before this one.  It might be a very common bottle.  I just never saw one.

I like the Pepsi the best because about 30 years ago my buddy was working with his dad.  They installed walk in freezers.  They took one apart to replace it and the Pepsi bottle was back behind the cooler.  It probally was opened, drank, and encapsulated fifty years ago.  It looks brand new.  My friend new I had a Coke machine and thought that I would want it.  It's pretty neat paint and embossment.  A nice design.

The lower case “p”s are staggered like they're dancing...
if the Dr Pepper bottle shown is embossed (letters raised) it's a
MUCH harder bottle to find.... if the letters are debossed (engraved) pretty common.
A DP with ACL bottle cap design....RARE!!!!

nice clean bottles there...
