What do Coke bottles look like in your country?

a Swedish & American Coke! - On the left is the diet coke (or, as it's called in Sweden, a "Coca-Cola light") from Sweden, and on the right is an ordinary Diet Coke from the US. Maybe I'm amused too easily, but I found their differences to be quite interesting! With the Swedish bottles, you get half a liter, and the bottle is slimmer and has a metallic design and a different name. I've also heard that they cost somewhere around $3 USD and actually contain less chemicals than the American Diet Coke (not sure if this is necessarily true or not). I just thought this was interesting!

Until my sister went to Sweden and brought me back an interesting looking Coke bottle, I always thought they all looked the same! What do Coke bottles look like in your country? What kind of 'special features' do they have? How much do you usually get, and how much do they generally cost?In my country (the US) they're generally about 20fl oz & cost anywhere from $1USD-$1.50 depending on where you get it. Our bottles are wider and usually have little "grips" for you to hold onto on the bottom of it. Please post pictures if you can! I find this really interesting.

Coke bottle - I'm not sure but i think the bottle is more expensive than the content. lol!
I came across with these bottles on the net while i was searching for Coke bottles from the Philippines. I didn't know that such bottles exists. It's got an image of some of the landmarks in the country. I think it's for sale because it's on eBay. The regular bottle here in the country is just the nomal "sexy" bottle. The 1.5 litre is a large straight bodied plastic bottle. We have 8oz, 12oz, Coke 500, 1L and 1.5L. 1L costs half a dollar. 1.5 is almost a dollar.

I get it. I didn't know they were considered "sexy". I would just call that "curvy" wouldn't you?

www.faxianbao.com/item/168/50201902991199. This is one of my favorite kind of Coke size in China, and it is good for household consuming, not for portable. It's 2.25L. You can divide the RMB 5.00 (the showing price is a bit lower,for it's a wholesale price)by 6.88-the current exchange rate- to get the USD equivalent.

That's really interesting looking! Is that still part of the Coca-Cola brand? Or is that a separate brand? Even in other countries, I've never seen the logo spelled out in a different language other than English. Interesting.

The curvy looking bottle is the one common in india. But ive started seeing a real flat cylindrical kind of bottle which dosen't have any appeal at all...

Interesting! I think I like the curvy looking one better too, and it's easier to grip onto. Thanks for responding!

Coke bottles in my country changes it's face very often in our country, India. Last year they changed it twice, though there was no evident explanation for it. The first one looked almost same as the sweedish version you posted. The other one looked entirely black with only 'Coca Cola' written in white. In India, we deal with rupees and the price for one 100ml p.e.t is Rs.25- roughly half a dollar. Regards, AJ

That's cheap! We pay almost $2 for a bottle of coke. It gets ridiculous.

The bottles here look like the ones in Sweden, on your pic. So I am used to seeing them that way, haha! A small bottle is around a dollar here too (could cost a bit more if you buy it in a place that is a bit more expensive or something), and a big bottle is strangely enough just a little bit more expensive, so I always get the big bottles.
