Growing up on Prince Edward Island, all we had were Glass Bottles. Most bottles came in 355 and 755 ML variations while Diet Pepsi and 7up had 1.5L bottles.
The island however, was generally unhappy with glass bottles and would often Travel to New Brunswick to purchase Pop in a can. They would then bring the cans over, and either A) brag that they have can pop or B) Sell them out of Vans in the highschool parking lot. I remember a guy selling 355 ML cans for 5 dollars a can, and being pretty successful. (illegal of course)
Can pop was desired so much in fact; that politicians would include the promise to bring can pop to Prince Edward Island in their Election Campaign.
Long story Short, somewhere in the Mid 2000's Can pop was finally brought to PEI and people celebrated.
That said, Living on the West Coast for 5 years has made me really appreciate Pop out of a glass bottle. For whatever reason the Flavor seems infinitely better when drank from a glass.
tl;dr
Glass bottle>Can
