Status: offline 		Quick background:  I picked on the bottle on the left yesterday at a little store.  I normally don't buy these Red/White ACLs, as I have so many.  But, it is a local bottle (soft spot for locals), it was in good shape, and only 3 bucks.  I grabbed it and never thought anything else about it until I got it home and compared it to the others.

Both bottles are from Lexington KY.  Both are 12oz and a single dot.  However, the bottle on the left (new one) has a few differences from any of the other Red/White ACLS I have...and I have quite a few

Left bottle differences:
1.  Hard to tell but it has a bit of a yellow tint, bottle on the right has a bit of a blue tint, but more clear
2.  Bottle is a little bit shorter
3.  White logo on top without the white background
4.  No logo on the back
5.  The bottle has a small pyramid near the base
6.  not sure how to say it, but the glass 'feels' different.





I realize that there is quite a bit a variety within pepsi bottles.  I know different bottlers did different things throughout the years.  But is this common within bottlers?  Is there anything 'that' unique about the bottle on the left?  Thanks for any responces

Status: offline 		My guess would be just a different glass bottle supplier... bottle didn't change for a few years
just the ALC designs... different suppliers, different molds, different years...
3 bucks that's a deal.

You are absolutely right.  I have several paper label bottles, the style of glass is the same and one of them actually has the litte pyramid on it too.  I should probably check my other bottles.  I wouldn't have noticed this if I hadn't compared it to the sister bottle.  Thanks for the input.
