Description

A translucent green, injection blow moulded bottle with an opaque green lid. This bottle, for Sprite, has columns of dimples running down its lower half, these aid grip and represent the bubbles in the drink. Sprite bottles have been green since the 1960s when the drink was sold in glass and the colour has become synonymous with the drink.
