Short answer is probably not. We have debated this one in the past. There's no history at all to back this one up. Search the forum for daube's mountain dew and u should find the posts.

Why do I get this feeling that this is the exact same bottle as last time, and this is the winner of that last auction trying his best to regain his money after finding out that it's a fake?

Different buyer and seller, buyer left great feedback about the original sale...

I saved this picture from the eBay bottle which sold for $213.00 on July 7, 2011. Whether its the same one or not I can't say. But it looks like it might be. ???

I know you're a soda expert Bob but that's like saying these two Cokes look alike...[]

The buyer of the first and the seller of the second are not the same E-Bay user..The buyer of the first bottle has "never sold" on E-bay, that doesn't mean the bottles aren't the same, just letting people know...

I'm no expert, but rather just one of many members here who are enthusiastic about the hobby of collecting soda bottles.

The reason I posted the two pictures is to point out they are very similar if not identical in appearance. Notice the allignment of the "Yummy Yummy" embossing on top in relation to the applied color labeling on the bottom. I suppose it could just be a coincidence that the two bottles line up the same, but I suspect the odds of that are somewhat slim. As for the eBay buyer/seller question, who knows what's going on with that? Maybe the original buyer sold the bottle to an another collector or dealer and its they who are currently selling it. Whatever the case may be, the bottom line for me is one of the following ...

1. They are the same identical bottle.

or:

2. There is more that one Daube's Mountain Dew bottle in the world.

I don't think I'm wrong in saying it has to be one of the above. But which of the above it is, I don't know!

PS ~ I'm doubtful of it being a true Mountain Dew bottle, but am confused and cannot explain how the embossing and applied color labeling were done so professional looking. I tried to find another bottle that was embossed with "Yummy Yummy" but was unable to find one. ???
