Yeah I can't think of any 8oz bottles at all, that's a weird size. Though I never paid that much attention to the amounts of some of the bottles that only come in one size, so I'm not sure. I think Felix Distributors and Felix bottling are the same company, though I could be wrong. That paper label is a good one, although they're one of Canada's most common paper label sodas they're also crazy expensive with the cartoon aspect. Mint condition examples go for hundreds. My example is missing most of the label, but there's enough to tell what it is. Got it in an antique store for a couple bucks last year. Probably never going to get a better example than that unless I get super lucky. Also unlikely to get any more BC stoneware unless I move back West and get digging. Stoneware out here seems a lot more plentiful though. I haven't found any intact but I've found some tantalizing shards of one of one of Canada's most prized ginger beers and a couple of less prized ginger beer shards. Yeah that Nanaimo Bottling cap graphic is up there on the list as well! The last of the cool graphics ACLs that I weirdly enough don't have (since it's not rare at all) is the Hub City bottle with all the highways on it. I just never came across one and didn't feel like spending on getting one shipped. As for my favourite Canadian ACL, well that's nearly impossible, so I'll stick to ones I own for this one as well. I think I'm going to have to go with my Canora Beverages bottle from Canora, SK, which is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere that has a beautiful ACL bottle with a woman on snowshoes drinking soda. Unfortunately I don't have a picture and will be out of town for a long time, so I can't show what it looks like, but it's a great one.Here's another question, an unrelated one, but do you have any idea what the bottle on the far right is? It's supposed to be from BC but I don't recognize it. I'm thinking maybe Gassoza from Trail? I know they had an orange or red ACL that didn't look anything like this, but I think it was a similar bottle design. Also it's interesting that nostalgicportal is selling the lot as BC bottles with that Orange Crush in there. Ever heard of an Orange Crush with a local bottler's name on it?
