there was a coke machine in our shop that dispensed 10 oz bottles of Coke.

I remember Coke machines in Montreal way back that dispensed 10 oz. cans. Maybe your soda came from Canada?

Canada? Nope. They could have been 8 ounce bottles, not 10. And there was a city molded into the bottom of the glass. These bottles ended up getting mixed around a lot, so you could have a bottle from Seattle, or from Denver, (or wherever, it was 40+ years ago so give me a break...) but the actual bottler was printed on the cap.

Another thing that young bored airmen liked to do was to bet on who could get a bottle with the city furthest away from Mtn. Home.

This is what the bottles looked like:
