Coke also tastes so much better in Canada than it does in the US, or at least many places in the US. I can't stand it with High Fructose Corn Syrup.
As for glass bottles, there was a plant (12 years ago) in Saskatchewan that still bottled Coke in glass bottles. Drove through some town in central Saskatchewan, and the gas station had glass bottles. The 237 ml glass bottles are in lots of places.
I also can't believe that anyone would rather have fountain pop than an actual, from the factory coke. Not that I hate fountain coke, but it's just not the same.
Mexico was fun, 25 cents for a bottle of coke (and promised to bring the bottle back to the little corner store), or 75 cents if you wanted to keep the bottle. The amount of wear on some of the bottles could only have happened had the bottles been refilled and transported hundreds if not thousands of times.
