So let me get this straight, Sprite is ending its green
bottling, in the interest of going green?

Recycling is the biggest scam going.

This would be the best solution!
I only drink certain sodas anyway.
The kind that are not harsh on the stomach lining. My choices are mostly either Canada Dry Ginger Ale or Squirt.
If they want to add green food coloring to it, fine. Just don’t change the flavor or fizzy quality.

Hasn't been Sprite inside the green bottles for many decades so who cares. One of my favs as a kid, somehow sophisticated, lol.

Poor kids today never had a real Vernors either. Or know what a cantaloupe tastes like. They were pretty good, lol.

“Why can’t they just make Sprite green?”

Creative. I like it.

If they cared even an ounce about societal wellbeing, they wouldn’t sell sugary poison at all.

"Not only that, very little of what we throw in recycle bins is actually recycled."

Really? I've seen some documentaries on recycling plastics and paper products, always with a skeptical eye. My own Waste Management company has busted me for putting plastics in the green barrel.

No residential recycling by the trash companies around here, fortunately. Everyone just gets a single bin. I suppose if one wanted to recycle, one could take the stuff into the city somewhere, but I doubt that anybody does that.

As I’ve said before, if recycling made economic sense, I’d be getting paid for my trash.

Vernors, my hands down favorite as a kid. And the small bottles of Welch’s grape juice concentrate.

Vernors had so much carbonation it was an experience to swig, and the taste was unique! How about real Squirt? Don't even know if it's knocked off anymore. Or real Dad's. In the Mom size, lol.

Didn’t Coke want all people of the planet to mask up? The libs don’t mention where all the masks end up. Never mentioned. Hypocrites.
