As I recall she could
still get them pretty much through my high school years (Class
of 69), but I don't think she's been able to find them for
more than a decade now. (Anybody have any dates on the final
demise of the original little bottle?)

I just visisted Atlanta and in least one store (an A&P I believe)
still has returnable 10 oz. and 6 1/2 oz. bottles, each bearing new coke.

The 6oz. bottles appear in the photograph in an ad for Jack Daniels, where they talk about the folksiness of Tennessee and boast that "Coke still costs a dime" there. Does the Tennessee bottling company still bottle these, or is the ad a phoney? Steve Wolf Hewlett-Packard Company {ihnp4|hplabs}!hpfcla!woof Fort Collins, Colorado

Yes, the 6 oz bottles are still available here in Charlotte. I just had two for lunch Wednesday, however, they sure don't cost a dime (!) each.. Because Charlotte has the worlds 5th largest CoCola bottler... David Anthony Chief D.E. DataSpan, Inc .

Having lived in Nashville for 5 years (1979-1984), I can tell you... the "Tennessee bottling company" in middle Tennessee, at least, is Wometco, the same Wometco that owns bottling companies other people have referred to in here; and the Cokes cost the same there as anywhere else. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if they cost a dime at Jack Daniel's tourist exhibit; though that's hardly "real" Tennessee. (Real Tennessee can be observed at places like Mack's Cafe, just down the hill (South) from where all the tourists go to see Nashville.) (Or maybe Ducktown Basin :-)). (Actually the bottler for where Jack Daniel is may be located in Chattanooga, though... Jack Daniel's is about an hour or two's drive in the direction of Atlanta from Nashville, which is also in the direction of Chattanooga.) Give me North Carolina for "folksiness" anytime. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
