Actually, It was How about a coke Jay!!!? Thats what my mom would ask (yell) at me as a kid. My mom was a coca-cola person, not pepsi, aways coke. Back then (I'm really dating myself here) We had 6-packs of green 7.5 oz. hobble-skirted, glass bottles. And (dating myself even further), the bottle caps had cork inside that I would pick out and chew,Yuck! Anyway, she would stick the bottles in the freezer for just the exact right amount of time to get them lightly frosted with ice on the outside and about a inch of ice slush on the inside. And serve them up that way to us hot, sweatly brats. We always drank straight out of the bottle, For me, Those first few sips were straight from heaven!
Ok, that was a little long winded, I just lost myself in the moment. I should post this, But now I'm wound up on Old soft drink stuff. At my grandparents house, they always had bubble-up in dark green
swirl pattern bottles and once in a while Dr.Pepper (a rare treat), I remember the clock pattern on the bottle but I swear I can't remember the color of the bottle, maybe a very light gray?
Anyone (you old guys) ever use one of those soft drink machines for bottles? I remember an upright type with a long narrow window/door that you would open and pull (or more drag) the bottle from a tall row. Or the other type that layed horizontal, on that one I think the bottles sat up right in ice water, once released you slide them on a rail, (help me out here guys, its been a really long time!) and then up and out. I seem to remember these machines being at places like gas stations and campground stores. Did either type last beyond the 1970's?
I still want to talk about soft-drink collector stuff, But I will be typing all night, Thanks for reading the memories! Jay
