When my parents were kids in Asia they used to get all their club soda delivered in cartons in glass bottles that had a little glass ball in it to hold in the carbonation. You then pushed the glass ball down to open it up. They would then sterilize and reuse those and the glass ball would self seal once carbonated again.
What a really nice, fully reusable bottle with no waste at all.

- chickenchase-r 3y agothe seal is waste depending what it is made of. ramune uses some kind of plasticy stuff, for example
- huytersd 3y agoAh interesting. I though it was glass on glass.
- numpad0 3y agoHistorically it was pure glass but modern retro recreations usually adds that plastic cap, pusher rod and a plastic wrapper for easier manufacturing as well as for corporate liabilities. Those aren't technically necessary.
- chickenchase-r 3y agoI have not seen one that is pure glass. The oldest I have seen has a gasket. Every source I see indicates a rubber gasket was used in the first versions.
