You can still buy Coke in glass bottles.When I drink it,I buy in glass.Seems to taste better but that could be my taste buds playing tricks.

I didn't know that - all I know is they would have been b****y heavy to carry home in a shopping bag ! LOL I thought the plastic one's were quite weighty till I hefted this thing.

Nice one, joz. But the real collector's items are the ones

with a slightly green coloured glass.

I'm with spot about the taste in glass bottles - much better

Will not buy it in plastic.

Also good if they are fluid ounces, not litres or mls

Coles are selling the big glass bottles of Coke for $4.

I like the glass bottles too regarding taste. Coke in plastic bottles is horrid, sometimes cans are okay, seems to vary with the batches.

Coke must be ice cold, I stick it in the freezer for an hour first.

1961 bottle. My children would wind fishing line around the waistline on the bottle, tie a hook on the end, attach a worm and throw it into the water. Then place the top of the bottle upside down on a big stick in the ground, sit back and wait for the bottle to start spinning when a fish caught the bait.

LOL, memories!

Hey - the silly bugger paid $3 for it - told him he could have gone to Coles (just up the road) and bought one I would actually let him drink!

This one I think was bottled about 1976 - the date is on the cap I think, but really hard to read....need to get's me a magnifing glass LOL

now if it was a bottle of bourbon I would be willing to knock him down for it...but never was much into coke

Maybe not so silly.

The empty 1970's go for around $30-40.

BTW, do you remember RC cola?

Joz yours should have a cast mark on the side ie 10/65 = October 1965 (near the middle pinch from memory). The

change from crown to screw top also helps to approximately age the bottle.
