I collect a little of just about everything. I have a few Coca Cola bottles from before the name was printed on them in white - it was in 'bas-relief' or something like that. Truly the Coke bottle is a thing of rare splendour.
However, never mind all that, Woodsy - jump over to my blog and cop a gander at my JR21 TB2.
I collect a little of just about everything! I love that line. A contender for a book title if ever there was one Kid! I like Coke bottles as well and the taste of the stuff from glass is indeed the real thing. I always thought Pepsi was cooler all round as a kid but now I'm not sure I'd know the difference in taste. Certainly the bottles and logo's were both different.
The Pepsi bottles had their own charm, Woodsy, and when I was a teenager, I would drink Coke or Pepsi with no preference as to the taste. I eventually moved more into the Coca Cola camp because it was a little more prominent in the shops for a while, but nowadays I tend to drink Pepsi Max (trying to keep the weight down) as it has more of a taste than Coke Zero. (Taste Zero I call it, though it's not too bad when it's chilled.) Most soft drinks always taste better from a glass bottle than they do a can, though when cans were made of tin instead of aluminium, the difference was perhaps not quite so pronounced.
I know what you mean about the two tastes Kid. Looking back I think the coolness of Pepsi in my youth were the colours of the pepsi logo, red white and blue if I recall right. It just looked like the American flag and America was cool back then with its comics, music and all.
I've a few old bottles as well, Woodsy. I wish I could say I unearthed them myself... well I sorta did, at car boots. Nonetheless, I like them, so I pretend I dug them up myself if people ask. Do I feel bad about it?... Nah :)
