Fanta bottle filled with root beer

#1

Post by Tpapp54321 »

Hello,
I'm a new member to the forum and also pretty new to Soda can/ bottle collecting but I've been collecting Phonographs and radios for a while now. Back in the 70s when my dad worked at a supermarket they got a load of 16oz Fanta, but unusually inside was a Fanta bottle with root beer and a A&W root beer cap. He decided to keep it and it's been with me for a couple years. I was just wondering how rare something like this is as I've never seen anything like it. Here's some pictures:

Welcome to the forum!...
I suppose you meant Orange Crush bottle :smt017 ..lol, there is no added value to the bottle because of this error. As for rarity... The bottle is modern and more commonly seen, true that you see less errors like this though.
Thanks for sharing!

Probably rare with the root beer but adds very little desirability or value to most collectors. Maybe worth $5 in my opinion. LEON.
