Great video!! I grew up in Brimfield in the 70's and 80's and it blew me away to see how gigantic it has become. I haven't been back for many years...good times, good times.

Hi Tom, I have a 'Cods' bottle. I just googled and there would be the marble and a rubber washer/gasket in the neck. The pressure of the gas in the bottle forced the marble against the washer, which sealed in the carbonation. When I was a kid we'd dig up the marbles in my grandparents garden. I still have some of the marbles. Thanks for another great video.

OH man we used to go here when i was a little kid. MY mother stopped taking my sister and i because it was too hot for her. Loved looking at old consoles and all sorts of things.

15:40 they still make drinks like that! you can usually find them in the asian sections of stores like shaw's. Theyre called ramune and theyre pretty darn good! the marble is just a different way to seal it.

The glass marble is probably intended to re-seal the bottle as you drink it and maintain carbonation.

You don't reseal that style of bottle. The marble is the stopper though. When sealed the marble is held tightly at the top of the bottle. You push the marble in with a sort of plunger or dowel, dropping it down the neck, to unseal it and drink. Go to an Asian market and check out a Ramune soda to experience this seal in action.

@kyleschlichter3815 Depends on if the marble sinks or floats, which would be determined by the Specific Gravity of the liquid you're bottling.

@thegerm574 2 ай бұрын

I think the marble is a stopper. When the bottle was new you push the marble down to break the seal. They still make some Japanese sodas the same way.

Interesting. I've never seen one with liquid in it.

They had those marble in the bottle in Japan. It is sealed when you buy the item with liquid inside. There is plastic piece to push the marble free to drink the product.

Look up modern Rumane bottles. Its an asian soft drink that has the same machanic with the marble. The lid is designed with a detachable plunger that is used to depress the ball into the top chamber, creating the fizz. I believe its to maintain freshness in the drink. The stuff is actually pretty tasty if not a bit sweet. But yeah, this looks like a much older version of that.

Japanese pop has those. You have to pop the cap to release the ball

The bottle with the marble is called a Codd-Neck bottle which was designed specifically for carbonated drinks they would fill the bottle with soda and use the carbonation to seal the marble against a rubber ring at the top of the neck making the bottle easy to re-use without having to buy new bottle caps the only downside is that kid would break open the bottles to get at the marbles thus increasing the cost of making the bottles.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to look into that.

hey Tom, you ever go to estate sales? we live in western Mass and go to a bunch and i'm always seeing glasses, or phones, or old electronics, etc that you seem to be into. saw some frogs the mom might like. just wondering b/c if you don't go to estate sales, ya might be neglecting a great avenue to find stuff. we see a bunch of estate sales in the Berlin and Southington areas of CT, but it's a bit too far for us, although we did journey down to Elephant's Trunk one time after seeing one of your videos !

@fleabittenadventures 2 ай бұрын

Nope. Never been to one. I don't know how to find out when and where they are. I wouldn't mind checking one out some day though. Thanks.

I appreciate it, but per youtube, people only watch about 12 minutes of my videos, on average.

This guy nails the explanation of the bottle with the marble, and indeed they are still used today for some Japanese beverages(tiny channel, hope you don't mid the YT link, not affiliated to me in any way): kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-6g2eJZ8SLiNE ALSO: You were wrong about the radioactive clock, Tom. It's actually run by a very small nuclear reactor, that is small enough in size to be able to dissipate the heat without any issue. It's the heat difference across the reactor vessel that generates the electrical current. OK this one's a joke but wouldn't it be cool? haha.

@fleabittenadventures 2 ай бұрын

I assumed that the clock was nuclear. It was humming and left me with radiation burns.

@gustavoprever9685 2 ай бұрын

Why You always measures the radiation on the stuff with Your Geiger counter????, is there any problem with radiation in Your area????, i don't understand????
