whiz soda

[bubbas dad]

picked up this really great deco soda bottle. hoping someone has some info on it. it's a 6 1/2oz amber whiz soda bottle.on the bottom is "greenville pa." in a circle with "27 n" lightly embossed in the center. it has few minor flea bites but other than that in really great shape. i found very little info on this company. one reference claimed that this brand was where the term" take a wiz" started.

Thats a great bottle John but I don't think I would drink anything with that name.[sm=lol.gif]

i was hoping someone knew what flavors they bottled. i bet you would get some interesting looks by telling people how you just finished off a refreshing whiz.

thanks madman and rhona. i've only seen one other wiz soda before and i didn't have the money then. i like it because it's amber but shaped like the whistle and vess dry bottles.

I have seen a lot of reproduction signs with the WHIZ brand name. I am not sure, but I think it was a flavors soda (orange, grape, etc.).

Hi John,

How about a little leg work from a guy who lives twenty minutes from Greenville, and whose wife works in a assited living home there. Those old timers do love to talk....... I am in the early stages of a collection of Mercer County, Pa bottles, I hope I dig one of those beauties soon!
