At times like that, the documents making up your insurance kit lying in the front of your car seem useless.

Bottles were still expensive enough to make it worth the cola-bottler’s trouble to keep collecting the empties, sterilizing them, and refilling them over and over again.
But then the glass makers learned how to mold bottles of cheap glass that cost a cola-bottler less than it cost to pay for collecting and reusing the old-style bottles. So the "one-way, no-deposit, no return" bottles came into use. They were never free; the price of the cola went up a trifle to cover their cost to the cola-bottler.
