Plastic costs less to produce, maybe? I don't know.

I remember the time I was in Japan, though. They sold soft drinks in glass bottles, the ones with the marbles that you have to push through the lid to break the seal. When you were finished, you'd give it back to the store and they would wash them and reseal them for future use.

I thought that was pretty cool.

Back in the old days, glass bottle wasnt cool. Plastic bottle became a new invention and trendy.


less risky, safe, easy to drink, and helpful.
