Don’t call it a Comeback…

Seriously, don’t call this a comeback.
The Fat Solo is back! Coming soon to a beach lime near you.
I can’t even remember the last time I saw one of these on grocery shelves, but it looks like Solo Beverages Limited has brought these back at least for nostalgia’s sake. Everyone knows the Fat Solo bottle is the fine china of the soft drink world. There is no better delivery method for your sugar/CO2 mix than the thick glass of this bottle.
The classic Solo flavour is still there, but the bottle is not there completely. Yes it’s kind of the same. The bottle is still stamped with the logo, but the original label was painted on and this new label is plastic. Yuck. Who knows why it was changed, but the experience is just not the same. I’m thinking if you’re not going to go all the way, why even bother. At the very least we don’t need more plastic in the environment. Maybe the good folks at Solo had a reason for changing from paint to plastic. Who knows? I for one am happy to see the Fat Bottle make it’s comeback.
But, yeah don’t call it a comeback.
