I have seen 500 mL versions of the bottle but it is plastic. Some stores advertise them as 0.5 L some as 16.9 oz. They are not very common and sold only in 6 packs, not individually in convenience stores.

I just got through writing someone to tell them about Coca Cola bottles from Mexico on grocery shelves here in Texas where I live. Albertson's has a kind of Mexican section in the store, and there are some Coke bottles ther. Only this particular Coke, in a glass bottle, is labeled only "NETTO 355 mL". It's the ghost of WOMBAT, no doubt. Coca Cola does market 500 mL glass bottles in the U.S., even calling them ".5 LITER" on the bottle itself. However, the outer carton on the six-pack reads boldly "6 16.9 fl.oz. bottles." Jump start my heart! I wrote to them about this a long time ago, pleading with them to go the extra milliliter and make the ".5 LITER" the primary measurement on the cardboard. They've done so well, why no go all the way? ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
