These are some of my recent additions which are not really that old but do hail from the early 80's the days of my youth.
The first one is the last of the tall 10oz (5th generation label) from Saskatchewan, used up till about 1992, maybe a tad latter. In BC I believe we went to the glass 500ml foam wrapped. Of course these lime flavored bottles were deposit ones not NDNR.
Second is the 4th generation...I cant recall how late that label was used, maybe to about 1986-89.
So the most interesting are the two NDNR! Both bottles are dated 1980 and have the 3rd generation label, this was right near the end of that labels use. The bottles are tall slender in design and I can't recall any other Canadian soda's using such a bottle. It's nice to see how things crossed over a bit as the Strawberry has OZ/MLS and no UPC and the Grape is 300ml with a UPC.
CORRECTION NOTE: (The first one is the last of the tall 10oz (5th generation label) from Saskatchewan, used up till about 1992, maybe a tad latter.)
There are two labels that came before this as indicated in the guide so that first lime bottle pictured would be the 7th generation not the 5th.
Pictured here are my other NDNR Crush bottles. The stubby 4th generation grape is 1982 and the orange is 1981, the embossed is 1966 and that bottle also comes in a rare amber! One thing in did note in the guide is those slender NDNR style was used in the USA in the early 1970's.
