RE: some ornge crush - 6/13/2008 10:26:40 PM    L C   Posts: 1582 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online The print is almost too small for me to read, but I believe the bottle says grape on it. I should know this bottle considering my age, but I have no recollection of it at all. Do you know the date in which this particular bottle was put on the market ? Thanks, < Message edited by L C -- 6/13/2008 10:30:26 PM > (in reply to arthur) Post #: 9

RE: some ornge crush - 6/14/2008 8:15:29 PM    madman   Posts: 4860 Joined: 2/5/2005 Status: offline hey lc, your cap is older than the bottle shown by art,  that grape crush bottle is from the 90s may even be newer, i could be wrong but im guessing they put the other flavors in clear bottles that said orange crush, and put a grape cap on it mike (in reply to L C) Post #: 10

Thanks again for your post , Lou (in reply to madman) Post #: 11

The clear Krinkle bottle on the far left is of the "O. C. Beverages" variety which I would assume carried all of the Crush flavors. Of course for the most part the brown bottles were exclusive to Orange Crush. The grape crush bottle shown above is a retro style bottle that is available today and usually found as Orange Crush, Grape Crush, and Strawberry Crush.

RE: some ornge crush - 6/15/2008 5:09:36 PM    L C   Posts: 1582 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online Thanks for the post Joseph, I would say through the fifties and sixties, I had to pretty much try every flavor of beverage on the market , Pepsi always being my favorite over all the others. If I have one of the varieties of the one you illustrtate, I will get one of my bottle cappers out and apply it to it. I have some of the amber bottles , but not sure of the clear. Kind of makes you wonder why they just didn't put grape on the bottle as they did orange for the orange drink , unless it was less costly to have it applied to the bottle caps. Thanks again for the illustration of the various bottles, Lou (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 13

Also like the Nehi's they would introduce new crushes and kill off older flavors like Coca-Crush, so it would be more economical to just have a standard bottle for the rest of the flavors. < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 6/15/2008 8:21:30 PM > (in reply to L C) Post #: 14
