Do you remember drinking Fanta, Thums Up, or Limca from those good old glass bottles? The ones with tough metal caps that needed a bottle opener? Priced at just ₹10 or ₹12, these bottles were part of our everyday school and college lives. A recent Reddit post has brought that wave of nostalgia right back.

A user named reverseflash85 shared a photo of those glass bottles of Limca, Fanta, and Thums Up on Reddit, asking, “How long has it been since you last drank from these bottles?” The image hit home for many of us. It reminded us of buying a cold drink from the local shop and sipping it right there, because we had to return the bottle. Unlike the plastic bottles we get today, the glass ones were reused, and somehow, the drink always tasted colder and better.
The user also mentioned they probably drank from this bottle before COVID-19. Another user wrote, “Idk why cold drinks from glass bottles feel more chilled and taste better. I haven’t seen or drank from these bottles in years,”. And honestly, we agree. There was something about the fizz, the chill, and the feel of those glass bottles that modern cans and bottles just can not match.

One user also added that they remember sipping from these in the peak of summer. Another raised a concern about hygiene, saying the bottles weren’t cleaned properly. But someone quickly replied, “Plastic bottles are not very hygienic either, and they also contain microplastics,” saying that even those are not perfect. While opinions may differ, most people agreed that cold drinks tasted better in those glass bottles. Today, they’re hard to find, but they remain iconic.
