Bottle history

The three generations of the bottle are shown to the right. The first generation is an 11 oz. conical bottle and the second generation is a 14 oz. tapered cylindrical bottle with different mod designs on each flavor's bottle. In 2006 the bottle received a third design that is once again clear and has textured maple leaves around the top. This bottle also has "Canadian" definitions of distinctly Canadian terms such as Rough Riders. All have an aluminum screw-on cap with built-in tamper-proof (the lower portion of the cap breaks when opened).
