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.
