Musta been more of 'em in the colonies, Jem. That's the only
bottle I remember here as I was growing up. When Pepsi came out
with their 12 oz. to compete with that 6 oz. green Coke bottle,
we kids thought we had died and gone to heaven. Our parents, of
course, thought the Coke was worth the extra cost.
