Yes in Ontario too, I was born and raised in Toronto. Don't you remember as a kid getting 2 cents for the pop bottles and and 5 cents for the large pop bottles? Even the glass milk jugs from Beckers were returnable for a refund.
OK - I am probably a bit younger than you. We did get some money for the pop bottles that were approx 375 ml in volume (about 10 cents in the early to mid 80s) now that I remember. I'm from a city 4 hours west of Toronto and we didn't get Beckers until about 1984. I don't recall the glass milk jugs there.
No prob. Yes I must have a good 20 years on you then because I'm thinking back to the mid-late 60's and early 70's. By your time Beckers were using plastic jugs.
@Ecossaise Uh, glass bottles are much, much better for the environment than plastic bottles. Plastic bottles didn't come about because of environmental concerns, they came about because plastics became cheaper to manufacture, manage and handle for the producers than glass.
@BloatedSensations Plastic bottles reduce shipping weights and suffer less breakage during production than glass bottles. Glass breaks down in the environment within a few hundred years, compared to plastic which takes many tens of thousands. When glass is incinerated it remains entirely inert. Plastic, when incinerated, releases a highly toxic cocktail of dangerous chemicals into the environment.
A glass bottle may be washed and reused multiple times before needing to go through a recycling process. A plastic bottle can only be used once before having to go through a recycling process (a process which consumes much energy).
OK thats cool Bloated ... I've learned a lot more about plastic vs glass recycling than I ever expected to in a Youtube comment section ! I suppose this must be your area of expertise or perhaps where you work !
I love this commercial, yes indeed I do. Haven't heard it in years. Thanx ever so much for posting it!!

Does Canada Dry have anything to do with Canada?

Yes, it was invented in Toronto in 1904 by a Canadian pharmacist and chemist.

In glass bottles pre-recycling and caring about the environment ! :D

Hardly! Then those glass bottles were returned to the store for a small refund like beer bottles still are now.

OK - I don't remember that being done. In certain provinces they used to do this I believe maybe not in Ontario.
