Fixed price of Coca-Cola from 1886 to 1959
- kw71 8y agoBack in the 70s I heard from more than one adult that you'd get your five cents back when returning the bottle. In the non-"bottle bill" area of the US where I lived, the last time I remember bringing bottles back to the grocery was during the 1980's.

- 8bitsrule 8y agoI can appreciate that inflation made the nickel price unsustainable. Can't fool an addict (my auntie only bought bottles by the case). I laughed at the Pepsi comparison tests. So, what I could't appreciate is changing the flavor and then pretending it wasn't. Hah! Haven't bought any in a decade.(Correction: tried one bottle of the Mexican stuff. close; no cigar.)
