Another post reminded me that these existed and were everywhere in the 90s.
My mom won a week-long vacation to England from a Fruitopia bottle cap contest and she gave it to me and my little brother. I was 20 and he was 16 and we went all over the place. This was back in the days of no cell phones and disposable cameras. That was a lot of fun.
That sounds incredible - I'm glad you guys have such a fond set of memories to look back on :)
Now I miss Fruitopia, and 20 oz bottles...
What happened to 20oz bottles? lol Shrinkflation or are they massive now? I stopped drinking soda and sugary drinks back in like 2018 and haven't really paid attention to those lately.
Everything is now 16.9oz (500ml). I think it started from bottled water
Ah, so shrinkflation. With sugary drinks, I figured it could go either way and there was an equal chance they were super-sized nowadays.
In Canada, these machines used to have glass bottles. (20oz?) Anyone else remember that?
I couldn't stand this shit as a kid. I want a drink that will quench my thirst, not one that will make me more thirsty due to the metric fuckton of sugar in it.
Yeah, the drinks were thirst anti-quenchers for sure. I definitely have fonder memories of the machines than their contents lol.
