But Fresca isn't the same as it used to be. In the early '70s it had this great "cloudy" taste.
Ever heard of Dr. Well's? some 70s pepper rip off. yuk.
sun-drop, bubble-up, don't waste your time.
7up and DrPepper are listed in the AP (Associated Press) Stylebook. no hyphen, no period.
I have a round top, nickel coke machine which needs rewiring. (1940s)
used to have a side stack pull the bottle out coke machine (60s) which was the real thing.
you could ice the glass bottles if you wanted, there was a thermostat.
and it came in handy for defrosting the frig.
I'm big on the glass bottles. In case you've not noticed, they've gone from 6.5 oz to 8 oz. quality vs quantity. and they don't use wooden coke crates anymore. Grab them if you can. (have about a dozen. And LOTS of old coke bottles. One that's clear, from "coke beach.") Sam's has them, case of 24 for around ten dollars.
Coke used to come in glass liter bottles, too. That was eons before the 2-liter container, let alone the fridge pack.
thank goodness for preservatives.
edit: next time you pull a bottle or can from the convenience store case, check the label for the latest (expiration) date. you owe yourself maximum freshness.
