Rightarm do you mean the glass bottle?  Do they even use them anymore?  I miss the glass bottles. They need to bring that back!

You can still get the glass bottle in Texas.  Actually, the ones bottled here and the ones from Mexico are available.  The ones from Mexico taste a little different.  (The Coke - not the bottle).
