There's never been a better time 2 return 2
returnable glass bottles. We'll bring classic soda in a returnable
bottle back to MN.
We are . . .
people who remember what real soda used to be like. We remember soda
that was local. That all soda used to come in a returnable glass
bottle. That soda companies used to have their own bottle designs (not
generic throw away plastic bottles that are filling up our landfills),
and that soda was made from a few ingredients--water, pure cane sugar,
and premium flavors (no odd energy enhancing chemicals, no high fructose
corn syrup, no extra preservatives).
We remember . . . soda being a treat. We remember Mom bringing
home an 8 pack of returnable bottles and telling us kids that we each
got one. We remember saving ours for the Sunday football games, popping
the top off, hearing that "pfft" sound, and sipping ice cold soda while
watching the game.
We promise . . . to bring back the soda of the 50's, 60's, and
70's. To reintroduce Minnesotans to local soda. To bring back that
classic soda flavor. To bring the returnable glass soda bottle back to
families across the state of Minnesota. And to connect with our
community to make a positive difference.
How will we use the funds? We have been working on returning returnable glass bottle soda to
Minneapolis and St. Paul--and eventually the state of Minnesota and
beyond, for over 2 years. In order to make our dream a reality, we need
to purchase 80,000 heavy glass bottles. We are very close. A bottle
factory is awaiting our order.
We will be using funds,
in combination with private investor funds, and bank loans to open the
only soda manufacturing facility in Minnesota, making classic soda and
packaging it in a returnable glass bottle.
The money we raise through this campaign will be used to place our first bottle order.
