For the 16 oz. bottles, the local Coke distributer had been stamping the legend "NEWm/d" on bottles, where "m/d" was apparently the month and day the bottle was filled. This was stamped towards the top of the outer foam covering onhe bottle. I don't know if this is done by other bottlers, but you might look for it. -- Warren R.
