The round bottoms held Ginger Ale alot of the time and the story is they used round bottoms so that once open you had to drink the whole bottle because setting it down would drain it...is it true, I don't know, but sounds plausible...

Hi all, My understanding is that both the torpedo bottles and the round bottom bottles had metal racks to hold them while drinking the contents. I have seen some of them and some even had a handle on them. RED Matthews.

I heard the bottoms were round so they had to be stored on their side, to keep the cork from drying out so they'd hold their carbonation. There's probably a few reasons for their design, just one reason for a certain design isn't usually enough.

Well farmgal I am scared nearly to death because of the use of plastic for bottles that contain any element materials that can dissolve the melamine from the plastic, that can kill us like it did with the plastic containers that were ground up in China and added to a lot of animal and fish food for net raised fish we eat. This ground plastic killed thousands of cats and dogs in the northwest Canada and US animals, a few yeas ago. It also caused a few thousand babies to have problems in China from the melamine added to cow food that came out in the milk. China also has thousands of people with problems from the melamine in egg yokes from chickens given the food. So I too feel that soda and beer should not be in plastic - it taste better and colder when taken from a cold glass bottle.
