One thing I wish that would come back in style..

Might as well go for a soda... or six! (1/6), originally uploaded by Cody La Bière.

One thing I wish that would come back in style in culture is glass bottle soft drinks (pop/soda/"liquors"). For probably 20 years or longer now, all of the major soft drink manufacturers, not just here in Canada, but also world wide have been switching from glass bottles to plastic.

While the move is obvious that it saves the company ALOT of money in shipping costs, as well as saves on undamaged goods, a soda in a glass bottle will always be the best.

The Pop Shoppe here in Canada has found a niche in the soft drink market, they offered ALL of their beverages in glass bottles. First, they offered them in a glass bottle with a short "neck" to it, but late last year they brought back their traditional "Stubby" style bottles (similar to the ol' beer bottles until the 80s!)

While drinking a Pop Shoppe soda/pop/beverage/etc, I keep thinking that other soft drink manufacturers should follow. For me, I like to drink a nice ice cold glass bottle of Pop Shoppe Cola or Root Beer, it's a nice treat after a long day. Also it gives a nostalgic feeling that reminds me of the late 80s when glass bottles were being phased out.

While Coca Cola regularly offers 237ml glass bottles in various parts of Canada, that's not enough. It's a great item to give someone as a nostalgic type of gift, but not really as a treat. C'mon Coke! A glass bottle Coke is one of the best things there is! You should atleast offer it in 355ml size. For me, I want to enjoy the beverage thoroughly, not drink a few sips and then it's done!

Pepsi doesn't appear to sell glass bottle beverages in Canada.. unless if I've just never seen them.

Kudos to the Pop Shoppe for bringing back glass bottle beverages for everyone young and old to enjoy, and for bringing back the stubby style bottle back to relevancy in Canadian culture! Coke and Pepsi: we all want glass bottle Coke/Pepsi's! But you doubtfully will ever introduce one that's more than 240ml or so.. boo urns to that!
