I grew up in a town that was so small that we kids would often drive around sipping soft drink bottles in paper bags. It was a good laugh when we got pulled over and produced bottles of 7 Up or Coke.
I do miss soft drinks in bottles.
We did the exact opposite: Rolling Rock beer (green bottles/cans) wasn’t very popular, so we drove around with open containers of it, the cops just figured it was 7 Up. Don’t know how I made it to adulthood, unscathed, making decisions like that !
