I agree that plastic imparts an "off" taste to...everything.

magneto said:Perhaps we are what is called "super-tasters"! If you'll allow me to tie together the topics of glass bottle fan-dom and dental hygiene, I'm so mad I can't find Listerine in the glass bottle anymore. I last saw it at Rite-Aid months ago and am kicking myself for not stocking up then. I agree that plastic imparts an "off" taste to...everything.

VintageJess said:My Dad always says that milk tastes so much better in the glass bottle too. They used to have it delivered every morning in the glass bottles and he says that it was just wonderful.
Marc Chevalier said:I'll bet that when milk first started being kept in glass (as opposed to earthenware jugs, or wooden pitchers), people began to say that "Milk tastes so much better in earthenware jugs!" And for all we know, they may have been right.
****magneto said:...For folks in California, Strauss Dairy puts out milk (w/cream top) in glass bottles. It costs more, but it works out because part of the price is a dollar or two bottle deposit, you get credit for it when you take the empty bottle back to the store....
As a kid back in Copiague, Long Island, we often went to My Beverages on the west side of Great Neck Road between Oak Street and the LIRR tracks. In that part of New York we had what was termed "Distributors" that handled Beer and Soda on the larger scale, cases and kegs. When we were having a party of some sort, my mom would drive over to the Distributor and pick up a mixed case of "White Rock Soda" for the event. I equate "White Rock Sodas" with family gatherings and still love the "White Rock Girl" to this day. They had a jingle, but it won't come to mind right now.magneto said:...Does anyone else remember taking cases of empty soda bottles back to the bottling plant? I remember doing that with my Dad...
