Post by: Marcos on June 22, 2008, 01:17:35 PM

This is from the Cole Cold website:

The 2 litre and 1 litre packages were nick-named 'Jaliter' a merger of the name Jaleel (the company's name) and litre. Locals often refer to competitive brands of 2 litre by this name as well. 'Jaliter' has now become a generic name for 2 litre bottles and other competitive brands are also referred to as a 'Jaliter'.

So I guess the technical answer is "both"  :beermug:

Anybody remember before them plastic 2 litre bottles the economy size for coke was a a 1 litre "coke-shaped" green glass bottle with a crimped cap. And that used to seem like plenty.

Now man putting that down in two gulp.

The only thing that use to come 1litre was RC Cola with the blue label.
