NEW YORK (AP) — DRINK UP: A small Coke bottler in Minnesota says it will no longer make the 6.5-ounce returnable, glass bottles it had been making since 1932.

COKE POPS: The Winona, Minn.-based bottler had a small footprint, distributing to only four counties. The Coca-Cola Co. notes that its 8-ounce recyclable glass bottles are nearly identical and still widely available

SODA SAGA: Coca-Cola Co., based in Atlanta, first made its trademarked contour glass bottle in 1916.
