Actually, there have been 6 Coca-Cola bottle designs &/or bottle modifications since 1899 when the company began to bottle their products 13 years after its initial creation in 1886. 1899 - Hutchinson Bottle 1900 - Crown Top Straight Sided Bottle 1915 - Root Bottle (Prototype - this trivia question refers to this bottle design) 1916 - Hobbleskirt Bottle 1957 - One Color Applied Color Labeling (ACL) 1986 - Two Color Full Wrap ACL Label **One last bit on the bottles: In 1960 the Hobbleskirt bottle was registered as a trademark becoming only the second package to be registered in the USA

can't see the shape as half the bottle is hidden!

Terrible question since the dull shape of the bottle is not shown. They should either provide a proper image or delete this question.

This is not a good picture as they look no different than the actual bottle. One had to guess.

take away the crate so we can actually see the entire bottle.

The bottles are hidden, so what we see looks like the long used traditional bottle.

Roma Naclef, the whole idea of the question is to test your knowledge, not giva away the answer. If you can't handle that either use a help or delete the app

the shape shown in picture is still used very much. I can say it with confidence because we still get these here in India.

chickenlovesbiscuits, I agree. Someone, whoever wrote the question, could have been a little more clear. How the HECK can you see the bottle shape when they're all bunched up like that???

this is a very vague question . we would have to have be knowledgeable about every bottle shape used by Coca-Cola ever across the whole world ... current plastic bottles here have a slimming and a buldge as you go up .. so it's quite similar .. the exact performance in terms of balance rather hard to determine

Player #Patt Ghad, no it doesn't. Bottles falling over rarely break, but you'd always be shutting the line down to clear the jam.
