Title

Schweppes "drunken bottle"

General notes

The first green Schweppes bottles were ovoid in shape and would roll of the table, if not supported. Hence the name, drunken bottle. The bottle's shape prevented the cork from drying up, so it was constantly damp and the carbon dioxide couldn't escape.
