Benevolance:
That would be very savvy marketing.

Over there all the sodas use to be in glass bottles. You always... always had to return your glass bottle to the vendor after finishing the soda ---8<---

We had something like that where I lived in Quebec in the 1970s but it was generic soda, not Coke. My grandparents used this service, and I remember hating the sodas, as they tasted like crap. The same service also delivered potato chips in big tin containers which you'd also return. Kinda weird thinking about this now. A "Junk food to your door" service.

we never had chips in a can, we had the same kind of chips that they have here in the USA. well the packaging was the same, just different flavors.. I swear as a kid I hated the flavors. Everything had something spicy in it, everything. I like spicy food now, so I'm ok now (and now they have non spicy options).
The sodas were clean and always tasted good, and if those cokes are REALLY from Mexico, then they might be produced form reused bottles. :P Seriously, it was always very clean.

The milk came from cows ;D, you just had to boil it (here in the us we Pasteurize it instead). have any of you guys ever tasted non-pasteurized milk? I hate real milk.. it tastes really sweet. The bags were only so the kids could A) not break the bottles B) leave and not have to come back to return the bottle and C) we thought it was cool for some reason. I've never had milk in a bag.

Yes, we had milk available in bags, but my parents also bought powdered (*ick!*).
