Twig's bottling is in Shawano Wisconsin and they sell to the public without any problems they are the easiest to buy from.
Celo Bottling is in Sauk City and will sell to the public sort of he really is getting low on bottles and it is like pulling teeth to get him sell but it can be done.
New London Kist bottling is in New London Wisconsin and they are a hit and miss whether or not you will find them open. But they will sell to the public.
There is also Seymour bottling in Seymour Wisconsin who does bottle in returnables too. I have not been there yet but I was told that they will sell to the public.
All of these bottling companies are with in a 100-150 mile radius of each other and you could easily visit them all in one day. |

Way to go Dr_Vend! if we all support the local bottler's we'll have them around a lot longer to go along with our hobby! I luv 76! & Kist orange! we lost town-club here in S.E. Michigan a long time ago, & "the Pop stop" up in Saginaw/Flint in the 80's, but now with a new interest in the machines from the 60's (squarecorners) there is a renewed interest in glass-bottled sodas ( I like Jones soda-co. but for the luv of Pete, would it kill them to put the flavor on the stupid caps !!!) I'm hoping & emailing Faygo to run another batch of there little 8oz. glass collectable series, in RedPop, Rock-n-Rye, Grape, Faygo-Cola & Orange this year! ( No Kiwi-Strawberry please!) as always you find all these nice local bottlers, with no way to affordably ship some cases around..( glass=heavy)..

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Yeah, those 8 ouncers rocked. The perfect size for my kids. Not everyone wants cola's and the glass 12 crush you can buy just isn't that good. Do the Faygo 16 oz fit through the Vendo's bottle gate's? I haven't tried yet. Man, what I wouldn't give for a case of Towne Club, those were the days.

Nope, the bigger 16oz. Faygo bottles are too big in diameter to fit thru the gate, but they'll hang nicely in a slider & do vend OK in my Westinghouse (Select-a-matic) WD102MD, ya know , maybe someday they'll realize that not everbody likes to guzzle a half-gallon of soda in one serving. did it ever occur to them ( the soda companies) that in an era of reduced calorie drinks maybe a smaller portion is something to market, naw ...makes too much sense! oh well, bottoms up!

Yeah, to me a 8 oz Coke is just about perfect as long as it's brainfreeze cold. Now if they would just make the darn things with sugar instead hfcs.
