Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Nice picture, I remember the One Cal range, and Rola Cola, I can just make out a can of Corona Lemonade, Top Deck Shandy, and the old Blue Schweppes Lemonade can. What is the one under the Hubba Bubba can next to the Diet Lilt can? Any chance of some better pics of some of the cans? If you have time of course.

Oh wow! just as I remember them. I tried them all, but they were all rather insipid

And I also found these old cans, both from the early 1990's.

I have finally found the Seltzer plastic cans in my loft, and here they are. I know some of you have been dying to see them!

Very nice

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Just been tidying up the loft today and found a few old leaflets so I thought I would share them. 2 of them show the old plastic bottles with those black cup like things on the bottom. The other is a Unigate order form for their range of soft drinks. Look at how cheap every thing was back then.

I still haven't found the plastic Seltzer cans yet, but I think I can see the box, so hopefully by Thursday I will be able to post pics of them.

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

I have just spent about an hour in my loft hunting for the Seltzer cans but I can't find them at the moment. I will be taking a week off work in about 2 weeks time, and this will be spent tidying and sorting my loft. As soon as I find the cans I will get the pictures posted.

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Very Interested in seeing these Seltzer cans. I can remember buying a few but not being impressed with the drink. Will be good to see them again though.
Any of your contacts got any Quosh Jokers?

I think they usually produce them in the summer. I know ASDA was running them last year, they are normally on promo "50% EXTRA FREE" 3 litres for the price of 2 litres.

The old 3 litre bottles also used to have larger size caps than the current ones which use the same size caps as 2 litre bottles.

Talking of plastic bottles, does enyone remember when the plastic bottles used to have black plastic "cup like things" on the bottom?

I can say i have only seen 3ltrs when they were 50% extra free.Plus pop sales are far higher during the summer.I don'r think we had any fizzy pop in that size last year.But we have bought dilute in such sizes.
I remember the cups on the bottom Also.

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Yes, had forgotten those. inside the bottle was rounded & would not stand up without the cup IIRC

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

used to get 3 ltr bottles of coke in the uk, but i haven't seen one for years, remember being at my mates house for a party and his wife couldnt open it, so He grabbed it from her and said " I'll show you how to open it !! " he tried with all his strength and still couldnt open it LOL there was about 8 people in the kitchen at the time laughing our heads off at Him, when he decided to smack the top of the bottle off of the work top

the bottle exploded and the whole kitchen and everone in it were drenched in cola, there was only about 20ml left in the bottle, His wife wasn't too pleased iether

Do you still get 3 ltr bottles in the uk ??

I think they "dropped" them because of health and safety!

Re: Some Pics Of My Stuff

Thanks for looking at my website Sixtyten. I hope you anjoyed it!

I don't remember Strike Cola at all. But I quite like the look of the can.

I have some some of the clear plastic cans here that I will post pictures of soon. They were branded as Seltzer and came in regular and diet versions.

In the mean time here are some pics of 2 other plastic cans I have in my collection. They were test marketed around 1985, these are the English ones, they also trialed them in the USA but they were withdrawn after a short while as they were found not to hold the carbonation for long periods of time. The sides would then suck in and if the cans were stacked on top of each other they would all fall over.
