IIRC RC was available (pre cans) in 10 oz bottles. Coke was in 7 oz jugs
and Burpsie was 12 oz. I still remember the jingle from the Saturday morn
movies (at the theater) "Pspsi Cola hits the spot! 12 full ounces, that's
a lot!" And we'd finish with "Push the button, pull the chain. There goes
Pepsi down the drao."

I try to time my shopping trips to coincide with the delivery schedule
of the bottler. The Dr. Pepper/Cream Soda sells out quickly. Rather like
when Pepsi introduced Pepsi One (pre Coke Zero). It was a diet soda that
did not have that distinctive "diet" aftertaste. And tasted a lot like
Coca Cola. I was working in a Gas station/C-Store at the time and we
begged the Pepsi driver to leave ore Pepsi One since it sold out quickly.
No luck. Until they re-formulated it to be cloyingly sweet (gag a maggot)
and have an aftertaste. Then they advertised it, puched it in stores and
stocked waaaaaay more than people would buy. Go figger. About that time
Coke Zero was introduced - diet soda without the nasty back-of-the-throat
aftertaste. It took off.
I've got a local store that stocks Mexican Coke and Kosher For Passover
Coke - which are made with real sugar not HFCS. And there IS a difference
in taste - no matter that Co'Cola bigwigs pooh-pooh that fact.
