So did all the soft drink companies up until the 70’s or so. When I was a kid, finding discarded coke bottles was my main source of ‘income’ . Every Saturday I would ride around town and pick up all the coke bottles from ditches and sides of the road to turn in for deposit. At 2 cents apiece I could make a dollar just about every weekend, usually more. That would support my comic book habit, and later my tab at the pool hall................Yes, I had a tab at the local pool hall at 13!...............
I played pool occasionally at the roller skating rink but I was never really into it.
