In India I noticed a lot of coke & sprite bottles were incredibly worn. They were thicker and heavier than those in Australia (which were mostly plastic anyway). And the branding was incorporated into the glass itself, as opposed to a label on the outside. Based on the wear, I imagine they’d been re-used many times. I thought it was pretty cool that you bought coke in a bottle that would be considered an antique in Australia. Reusable items such as glass bottles give me a sense of quality & durability. Where as disposable is synonymous with garbage.
