Santiago Coca Cola Straight Sided Bottle

[Davidk2002]

Has anyone seen a Coca Cola straight sided bottle from Santiago, Cuba ?

Have you found any evidence in research to suggest that there was a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Santiago before the 1920s?

Yes, a Coca Cola bottling plant opened in 1909 in Santiago, Cuba.
I have a Santiago Coca Cola straight side bottle, and am wondering if there was another Santiago bottling plant in a Spanish speaking country.

That sounds like a great find, I'd love to see a picture of it! Do you mean it says Santiago but doesn't specify the country? I could definitely imagine a bottling plant in Santiago Chile as well, though not sure how widely spread Coke was before the hobbleskirt era.

Coca Cola only entered into Chile in the 1940’s

its more than likely from Santiago Cuba , it make sense as its close to the US where coca cola was already widely bottled by then .

I haven't seen any coca cola bottles from Cuba before to be honest

a lot of Canadian tourists visit cuba during the winter , never heard of anyone bringing back found bottles though

Actually I got the bottle in the US from an auctioneer who thought it was a Canadian bottle.
