Just When You Thought You'd Seen Everything...

I would agree...but I have never seen a single dot Canadian label let alone on a bottle which actually is made in Canada and matches the date of the label... wondering why and who distributed this one? Pretty hard to fake both...late 1950s... my first instinct was export but to America? I don't...

Canada Bud bottles

I would think so...they had wartime Brading's bottles too...because part of the movie was actually filmed in Ottawa....I noticed that the Coke bottles were green so either they used Canadian wartime bottles or just stuck to their green American ones...Hollywood! BTW the actual brown bottles they...

Clearly Canadian Contents?

I was born in Ottawa and lived on Hornell Drive (CFB Rockliffe) until the 408 moved to Rivers (Obodo) in 1964 and then moved back to Ottawa in 1970. We would have lived at Uplands but my Dad retired not long after. The first 11 years of my life were on RCAF bases. We were very lucky that we only...

I remember a long long search for a bottle that I was sure existed. It was a very short lived hybrid of an ACL and embossed Coke bottle. Our corner store had switched to the ten ounce bottle of Coke and it was prominent in the ice cooler at the front of the store. At the time, most of the...

Clearly Canadian Contents?

Hi CB, Maybe I can provide some sticker insight. I grew up on a RCAF base in Manitoba. All of my friends were from RCAF parents, mostly pilots. My Dad was Army and scarce on the base. He was part of a technical group that serviced RCAF and CAF aircraft, including transport helicopters. I got to...

Husky beverages bottles. Please help it's been driving me crazy!

Coke was the only one that stuck to the same size and raised their prices...think shrinkflation for the other brands...I saw Pepsi go from 12 to 10 to 8 to six ounces then 26 ounces for the family size, down from 30, then 28. Sugar prices and inflation climbed after WW2 and then in 1970...and...
