The Cola Wars “Be Sociable, have a Pepsi” Vintage 16 oz Glass Pepsi Bottles 8 Pack One Pint Swirl Glass

8 Full Pepsi Bottles "Swirl Glass" Model + Carrier

Up for auction are 8 Vintage Glass 16 Oz (One Pint) Pepsi Bottles including the cardboard carrier that date back to the era when Pepsi ruled over Coca-Cola. Each of the bottles is still un-opened and full of Pepsi. This is the classic Swirl Glass model of Pepsi bottle that bears the Pepsi logo introduced in 1973. However I believe these bottles come from a replica series that Pepsi issued in 1990 & 1991. These bottles have a very faint date of 1991 stamped in dark blue ink near the neck of the bottle. The bottles themselves are in what I consider to be farm-fresh condition as they were sitting in a garage un-touched for a number of years. They are covered in dust and the metallic bottle caps show definite signs of aging (see photo). The carboard box still has it's shape and the bottles fit in their original places nicely. But the box is showing significant signs of wear. It is very dirty, and although it is still in one piece I doubt it would be able to support the weight of the 8 full bottles. But as you see from the photos it still displays nicely. Purchased at an estate sale in Murrieta, California.

Sorry Pepsi Fans, since this is an update I must let you know the Pepsi Bottles have already sold. The EBay auction listing below is for a set of Six Coca Cola Bottles pictured at the bottom of this article:

The Cola Wars are over but you can still own a piece of history from the era when the battlefront was red-hot and viciously contested. In 1975 the Pepsi Company struck one of the most personal and successful blows in the history of this century long epic contested between America’s two top soda producers. “The Pepsi Challenge”, a brilliant advertising campaign that time and again showed everyday people choosing Pepsi over Coke in a blind taste test vaulted Pepsi into the lead spot in the cola wars. 
The Pepsi campaign was so successful it lead to the ill-fated decision by Coca-Cola to change their formula, the infamous “New Coke” debuted in 1985 to an uproar from Coca-Cola loyalists who boycotted the new drink and forced the company to bring back their beloved “Original Coke” just six months after the imposter had arrived on the front. The fallout from that monumental defeat resonated so deeply and for so long that Pepsi somehow, inconceivably managed to outsell Coca-Cola at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. The hometown of Coca-Cola incorporated.

Coke Finally KO'd Pepsi in 2010

Since then Coke has recovered from that humbling defeat so strongly and with such force that they not only re-gained their top spot as the leading soda sold in the World, but also brought the Cola wars to a conclusive and dramatic end in 2010 when Coke’s “little sister” Diet Coke captured the #2 spot in soda sales relegating Pepsi to #3. 

By the way, "Be Sociable, have a Pepsi" was the 1958 campaign slogan that accompanied the introduction of the "Swirl Glass" model bottles up for auction here and that were used by Pepsi for the next 30+ years.
