Is collecting Coke bottles still a thing???

Little Debbie, Super Bubble, Mississippi Mud Pies. That's what I'd buy with my bottle money.

Man those bigger bottles came in a 6 pack plastic case. One time I found 2 cases and I thought I was rich.

The little bottles were a nickle.

The best time was parking my bike and going in the Kroger in NBR off Plank Road and Airline.

I found $140 in cash thrown all over the place. Then I returned the bottles I collected for $1.25.
Boy, I thought I was rich for a 10 yr old.

I used to go into McLemores on 165 in Columbia and play Galagga (sp?).

I've seen some bottle drops around portland

Guessing you would clap your hands and stomp your feet?

I spent my first 9 years growing up behind that Kroger on Shelly Street. I used to ride my bike in what at the time seemed to be their massive parking lot. And I have vague memories of watching the Shopper's Fair on Plank Road burn when I was 5, I think. Shopper's Fair fronted Plank Road, and Kroger's was in the rear.

Mom used to take them to the Kroger when I was a kid. There was a place in the back of the store you brought the empties, and they gave you a credit slip to give to the cashier when you checked out to apply to the bill.

Not sure but I have this, never been opened

Not my pic

Only time I ever remember getting the reused bottles was the machine at the Goodwood Library back when there wasn't a library for every damn neighborhood and it was THE library.
