Soda pop machines that dispensed bottles

The old school thread. I wish pop/soda was still in bottles. It tastes som much better in glass. Glass bottles are hard to find nowadays.

[Mr. Nevermind]

I went up to a lake resort area in the mountains a few weeks ago and found those wax coke bottle candies with the liquid inside. Made me laugh my ass of. But i got a few packs to bring home for old time sake. I did smoke alot there and raided their candy shop and felt like a kid again. They had blck jack gum, those wax bottles, candy necklace, wax lips ( even wax vampire lips)and chic o stic ( dont act like you dont know what they are). I think i need to go to the dentist now, but man it was a good time
