    		 How many of you remember when 2 liter soda jugs had 2-piece construction, with a rounded bottom on the bottle & an opaque plastic cup glued to the bottom to allow it to stand?
    I miss those bases, they made great bathtub toys, summer toys, and were especially good in sandboxes. The drain holes in them worked great for sifting sand. I remember thinking that the new 1-piece bottles looked cheap & naked when they first came out.

    		 I tried pulling one apart once to see what the bottom looked like... I was kinda disappointed to see it was just rounds and not fancy like a coke's bottle!

    		 Only once? Taking those things off was a repeated habit for me. Sorta like collecting the tabs from soda cans & making them into chains.

    Pretty sure I've got a crap load of those kinds of bottles stashed away somewhere in the old junk. The one good thing about those bottles is that they STOOD UP. With the design of bottles now, so damn easy to knock them over, especially in the shopping cart.

    		 I actually remember this, but for the life of me... when and why did they stop making 2-liter bottles of soda??

    Uh... I don't know what alternate universe you live in, but every store here has absolute assloads of 2-liter bottles. Everything from grocery stores to convenience stores to dollar stores to walmart.

    		 I'm 26 which means I'm old enough to remember when the soda companies still made those and then I was surprised when they got rid of them.

    		 I remember my mom used to always buy the 1 liter glass bottles from the corner store when we would run out. Then they were replaced with the 2 liter bottles with those black bottoms you speak of. Then the 3 liter bottles came out in the mid 80s, but didn't last. I guess they realized that they become flat before you could finish them, plus they were hard to handle.

    		 I still see 3 liter bottles sometimes, but usually only in the cheap brands. Now they've come out with 1.5 and 1.25 liter bottles (coke has one size, pepsi has the other, but I forget which is which). Seriously, wtf is the point of that??

    		 I remember Shaq in the Big Slam commercials back in the day. For some reason as a kid I thought drinking 1 liter of soda made you cool. Now I see that it makes you fat...

    I think I have one of those commercials. Are you talking about the one where he gulps down that soda that causes everyone elses Pepsi to evaporate on a hot day?

    I don't remember any specifics of the commercial. The Big Slams were what they advertised on their 1 liter bottles.

    		 I remember the 1 liter glass bottles my 1st grade teacher would always drink those. That was like 1991.

    		 I remember them but had forgotten until you brought it up. I haven't seen one with a dark bottom (that didn't become clear when the soda was drained lol) in years.

    		 I am officially OLD now. Nothing drives that point home like finding a post waxing nostalgic about something you consider fairly recent in comparison. I remember when Pepsi debuted "The BOSS". Any one remember those guys?
