Hello kuger,

Let me, please, bust that myth. With the kind assistance of Ron Fowler:

"Unfortunately, the myth that Hutchinson bottles are the source of the term "soda pop" is continually perpetuated by those who reference and cite material from questionable and/or outdated sources." Industry History Origin of the Term Soda Pop

Hey kuger,

It is a widespread legend. One I've heard many times. I thought you'd like to hear the rest of the story...
