Today we are talking about little bottles. Glass bottles to be precise. Now if they are not so much about, eh? Sometimes, when I was in Italy and was in the supermarket, I was willing to buy the pack of 4 (or 6 I do not remember) of the glass bottles of Coca-Cola Classic, but heck! Cost too much!
Well, here in Japan there are still around, are not widespread, but are, just think of Ramune still so popular.
In the restaurant where I work drinks, plus beer, wine and water, are few and a little 'retro.
No, wait, do not sell the foam, but close enough.
The warhorses are the Ginger Ale and Sparkling Carbonated of Tanzania Wilkinsons, which is now incorporated into the Asahi Soft Drinks.
With more than 100 years of history, this company was founded by Mr. Clifford Wilkinsons just intuit that it was English, ginger ale and tonic water produced from naturally sparkling mineral water from the same Wilkinsons found by chance while hunting in Hyogo Prefecture in 1889. As legend wants.
The fact that this source is precisely in the same prefecture of the source from which they have done Mitsuya Cider ( in English) I smell a bit '. Among other findings in the same period and looks a bit ', is the Mitsuya Cider that the Wilkinsons were built by Asahi Soft Drinks ... I think it's the same source, but ok,, let's ignore it.
Anyway, back to our drinks of the past (for which I have a weakness, as you noted> _ <), le bottigliette in questione hanno attirato la mia attenzione dalla prima volta che le ho viste. Quindi le ho tampinate finchè non ho sfacciatamente chiesto se potevo portarmi a casa i vuoti. Con mia grande sorpresa mi è subito stato detto di sì, con un po' di stupore per la richiesta, ma senza nessun problema. Provate a chiedere in Italia di portarvi a casa il vuoto di una bottiglia di vetro, al ristorante, e vedete che vi rispondono!!!
The bottle of Ginger Ale is bottle green (but looks a bit ') and the ergonomic grip, but so very ergonomic. There's the groove on each finger! Every time I have to prepare a glass wields it for good using all the appropriate spaces, enjoying the satisfaction that comes when the handles easier work. At the top is labeled a double triangle featuring three drinks "modified" the Wilkinsons, (ie those that are not the basic Tanzania, our sparkling mineral water) or Ginger Ale, Dry Ginger Ale and Tonic. In this case, the upper triangle is white, while the bottom one is colored dark red. At the foot of the bottle is marked "Net Contents 190 ml", always in dark red. The bottle is transparent instead of Tanzania, most of thumb, she has an ergonomic performance, but most common form in the usual onslaught of "little woman" rounded above, close to the center and that riallarga below. Like Coca-Cola for instance.
In so far as it tightens, the glass appears the word "Tanzania."
What I like about this bottle is the label, however, oval and white stripes on the sides of such sound waves. At the center of the white base is another red oval with the name, in white, "Wilkinsons". Again, the bottom, there is an inscription, but it says "Asahi Soft Drinks Co., LTD, and, among other things, is blue, which is not included in any other part of the package.
written at the bottom of this thing hit me. Why do different? It may be a remnant of times past, in fact. I guess that the packaging of two beverages have been designed together, and maybe even the same person, but it seems strange to me anyway.
course, as is usual for soft drinks in glass bottles, paper labels are not applied on the pack, but directly printed on the container. It also voids are to make, as I had to guess, so often the bottles are scratches and imperfections. And for this I like even more:)
Unfortunately, the Ginger Ale just can not drink it.
