Oh those are cool cans!...I'm waiting for a Canadian one to surface..nothing yet that I've seen. Here's my Double Cola's, the 16oz'ers the first one is US-1960 the other is Canada-1959... and the little 10oz/300ml is Canada from 1975, they must have disappeared around that time?

I've dug a piece to one once. That's all. Lol. They're not bad-looking at all.
Thank you.. [:)] Maybe you'll dig a complete one some time!...I always wondered if they came swirl design in the small size?...maybe it was just a 16oz thing.

Pic of rare cone top double cola, along with my Donald Ducks. Sorry to hijack thread. LEON.

Perhaps-- these were the only bottles which made me permanently excited (although, I must admit, it all was exciting to me and I did a huge thread on it so all who saw it knew how excited I was) in that dump that weren't busted (only two of the clears, the rest are same brand but gotten elsewhere.) Click here to see what dump I'm referring to. Perhaps I'll go back once more before the snow takes over. I wouldn't mind finding a Double Cola intact. So many great ACLs in that dump from the '50s and '60s--most shattered. I could read "ouble" and "la" The ACL color-scheme matched, so it must have been one.
No worries, Leon: It's well past too late for that. Lolz. The Donald one is an odd piece. When's that Double Cola from? Now I'm thirsty. -_-

Weird top on that 1975 one, never seen an old ACL with a top like that, thought that was just a newer thing used on modern ACL beers.

They seemed to come out mid seventies...I have a green Mountain Dew..paper label, in fact I have several in paper label..and only have two other ACL's in that style bottle. I sort of remember the beer bottles your talking about...Kokanee rings a bell as the same style top, but they had to be wider and shorter? 355ml.Want to see the other soda bottles?

Oops, I forgot about NDNR bottles. They usually have tops like that and some date from a while before that. I don't think Kokanee used that kind of top, not on their stubby bottles anyway. Stubby bottles in Eastern Canada sometimes had that style top though. I was talking about Corona and Heineken bottles, and probably some others that I can't think of at the moment. There's also a Mexican soda with one of those plastic transparent fake-ACL labels. And probably others. I hate those ACL beers, I'm always seeing one half-buried in some difficult to reach place, going to all the work of getting myself there through brambles/mud/whatever else, only to find it's something that was tossed there five years ago.
