Here's a first for me an embossed Yoo Hoo bottle from Car or Garfield, N.J.

NICE FIND, MY FRIEND! COLOR ME JEALOUS AS I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ONE BEFORE. JUST THE ACL'S AND THE LATER ND/NR EMBOSSED TYPES.

I DID FIND A NICE DIXIE SHAKE TODAY....IT SOUNDS SOUTHERN, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS BOTTLED IN BROOKLYN, NY.

Looks like you have an original . Yoo Hoo stated in the 1920's in New Jersey.

Yoo-hoo originated in New Jersey in the 1920s, when Natale Olivieri sold "Tru-Fruit" soft drinks in his small store. Olivieri discovered a process to produce a chocolate soft drink that would not spoil. It is made through a process of fermented fruit, primarily apples (oranges and pears will suffice too). The name "Yoo-hoo", already being used for Olivieri's other fruit drinks, was applied to the chocolate-flavored drink as well.

These jersey bottles I'm digging makes me wonder about the connection. We dig tons of jersey stuff for some reason.
So who's the big Jersey collector?

just up to the top early 1900s I'd guess. A little whitling in the neck to one side.
Lots of embossing....The Fruity Beverage
Its not perfect but a really good example for sure.
