John-this Fresca bottle is actually marked 'Fresca with Sugar'. Fresca has always used an artificial sweetner. The Coca-Cola Company decided to test market a sugar version and used amber bottles. It didn't do so well, so Coca-Cola Company dropped it. They only made 'Fresca with Sugar' less than a year, and only in limited areas. So the bottles are very hard to find. A paper label NDNR was also used. They also bottled it in an ACL returnable bottle in amber glass. (That is the one I am looking for)

Very good information Doug. I have seen the ACL amber Fresca and always wondered what the story was behind them.
