Pop Shoppe - Quick Read

[RCO]

There's a Pop Shop from Vancouver as well, which I'm pretty sure is unrelated to the national chain.

never seen one before and definitely not related , also spelled pop shop not pop shoppe , the bottle appears to be 50's or 60's era most likely , so just before the Ontario one came out

Here are a few of the Pop Shoppe bottles I have.
The three on the left are Canadian bottles while the stubby on the right is a US bottle.
The back of that bottle says
Central Florida Beverages Inc
Winter Park Florida

Bottled under authority of
Pop Shoppes of America Inc.
Denver Colorado

Last picture is a selection of the current Pop Shoppe offerings. I decided to keep them just because they were soda bottles.
Saved these from a recycle bin at a company BBQ 2 summers ago.

I've found that stubby pop shoppe before , a couple times actually , the ones found swimming usually had no colour but 1 I found outdoors in the woods did

found this one in Barrie Ont , used to be a nice patch of hardwoods near the 400 near Molson park , was mostly cut down a couple years ago to build a new overpass which is almost finished

its the stubby version with ml/oz , pop shoppe of Canada London

also found these 4 pop shoppe bottles in the garage , 3 of them I'm assuming are very common ,

is a black cherry and cream soda in newer looking bottles , believe I found them at least 2 summers ago as they've been there for a little while and an older colour faded stubby I found swimming

but the first bottle on the left does seem very odd , its for Pop shoppe diet ( can't read the label but says diet cream soda )

recall that I found it in a park around fall 2017 but it appeared to have been there at least a few years before that , which might give as idea as to when it was used

don't recall seeing diet pop shoppe before , had saved it at the time cause it seemed unusual and not sure if I've ever found another diet one but don't think so , the bottle is also slightly different than other 2 a bit shorter and wider

I noticed they have pop shoppe at the dollar tree now , had some flavours - pineapple , black cherry , root beer and a new one cotton candy ( almost a light bluish colour ) , I didn't buy any but might get a root beet next time

also usually have some at the mac's / circle k downtown , recall they had orange , lime , grape and maybe a couple others ? but they likely charge a lot more for a bottle than dollar store

Hello all

New member, I've collected commemorative soft drink bottles since the 1970s and ACL's for the past ten years or so. Had these three Pop Shoppe bottles in my collection for several years. Found the Orlando bottle in an antique shop in Georgia in the mid 1980s and the other two in shops during travels. These are the only three Pop Shoppe commemorative bottles I've seen, but probably others out there. They're not for sale or trade but wanted to share on the site.

I remember in the 1970s when Pop Shoppe opened a store in Bloomington Indiana, just across the parking lot from the grocery store I was working at. My first job was sorting returned pop bottles and I had just begun my bottle collecting hobby. Really liked the Pop Shoppe flavors, but the store didn't last very long, maybe a year or so.

Here are some Pop Shoppe adverts from the 1970s. Not sure if winning a Ford Pinto was a plus, though. lol! Retired Toronto Maple Leaf winger, Eddie Shack, a fan-favourite (one of mine, too), was the face of the company as its spokesman. Clear the track, here comes Eddie Shack! By the way, for those who don't know hockey, Shack's waylaying of his opponent -- Shack's the jumper in the pic -- was a two-minute interference penalty.

Those are great ads!
RIP Eddie Shack. Past away in July this year.

Thanks. I met him at his Toronto Christmas tree yard. Awesome moment, on account of his over the top personality and genuine friendliness.
