Don't ya just love the internet? Here I live in California, and yet I was able to reach out and snatch this "Topp Quality" bottle right out of wonkapete's box without him even realizing it. But that's okay ... it's so ugly he won't even miss it! And just for the record I have changed my mind regarding "Ugly" vs. "Just Plain Boring." I really dislike most of the "BIG LETTER" bottles ... but they're not really ugly so much as they are boring. Ugly is that girl from High School who used to kick the back of my desk chair so I would have no choice but to turn around and tell her to stop. She did this because she was so ugly that that was the only time anyone would even talk to her. She used to love it when I would say, "stop kicking my chair or else I'm going tie your beard into a knot and set fire to it!" But all she would do is smile at me, giggle, and kick my chair again. (Not a true story)! [:mad:] Anyway, that's ugly. Boring is when you have to respond to an e-mail notification only to discover some crazy guy named sodapopbob is rambling again.

Nickevlau ~ Please don't think too harshly of your Mr. Cola bottle. Especially now that you know it's just boring and not ugly. [8|] Ltm = "laugh to myself" (it's not funny enough to laugh out loud).

Here's wonka's "Topp Quality" bottle ... if he wants it back it's only a "click" away!

Morb ~

I finally found that "Sunburst" bottle on e-Bay. You're right ... it's boring , dull, uninteresting. And for anyone interested in purchasing it (although I'm not sure why you would) it's available as a BIN @ $10.99

And since I can't go back and edit my original title to this thread, I would like to change it now with the hope it will generate more interest. I'm serious about seeing those unusual bottles, but may have jumped the gun by using the word "UGLIEST" Thus, my new title is ...

"THE WEIRDEST/STRANGEST/CREEPIEST/MOST UNUSUAL ACLs EVER MADE"

There ... that should cover all the bases. And JayBeck's "Creepy Girl" is a perfect example of the sort of bottles I was hoping to see. [8D]

And just for the record ... here's Morb's favorite ... The infamous "Sunburst" ... Borrrrrrring!

TheCaliKid: I only have one of those but I do know where there is one sitting in an antique shop and I am almost certain it is priced under $10. If you want it let me know and I'll go get it.

Uglier that the plain old Sunburst is the Diet Sunburst.
Printing is just as scarce as on the white one but made even uglier because it's screen in a baby-poop light green color.
Yech!

Here's a shot of my ugliest pair of sodas.
Presenting the nearly invisible all white paint Sunburst (notice the huge use of 'air' in the design) totally inadequate, insipid and lackluster . It desperately needs the color of the fill soda.
And her partner in awfulness.
Sunburst Diet. Take all of the bad features of Sunburst, increase that amount of 'air' in the design and change the color to a pea soup colored green. No color seems worse to sell orange soda...it bogglem my mind to think that was someones choice!
