I remember that being very carbonated
Glass bottle. Standing in the front seat of the pickup. Hear the gas sloshing around in the gas tank behind the seat.
Truck bed full of beer cans.
Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

I don't recall Hy Vee soda being in bottles...they might have been but I remember this look:
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this thread it’s that Knapp hates the pocket jingle. I think we can safely rule him out as the dime bandit.
It could've been another brand for sure. We'd hit the Hy-Vee and I'd get to pick out something to drink.
Please remember the cost of an employee is not simply wage or salary. There is employer paid taxes, benefits, workers comp, etc. All the stuff we employees like to act like does not happen when we complain about our base pay and employers.
Now that I think of it I do maybe recall Hy Vee soda coming in those oddly shaped bigger glass bottles that weren't quite 2 liters?
At some point everything came in glass bottles so It makes sense. Lemon-Lime Gatorade in the stubby glass bottle definitely hit differently than the current plastic set up.
I feel like I have a memory of peeling off the labels of Hy Vee glass bottles that the label was made of that styrofoam type material and covered the bottom half of the bottle? They were larger than 12 ounces but not 2 liters...I am getting old so it could be my memory tricking me!
Hy-Vee should have never walked away from that logo.
A close second to Hy-Vee pop was getting to pick out some New York seltzers at Fareway. The black cherry and Peach were elite.
I remember being at Hy-Vee headquarters(Chariton) during the late 80's or early 90's and their pop machines only had Hy-Vee pop. I think the mountain dew version was called "Hee Haw" and Dr Pepper was "Dr. Thunder".

Nesbitt’s? That’s what I think of when I think strawberry (or grape) soda in bottles.

On my god, the fuel tank right behind the seat in the pickup truck. That’s a memory I haven’t had in a loooong time.
Speaking of hy-vee and pop. I remember working there in high school in the customer service area, where we use to collect cans. I made a killing on Pepsi points and Marlboro miles.
Nothing says vehicle safety like putting the goddam gas tank behind the passengers
So it went from 10% all the time and sometimes 20% to 10% one time per week? Ouch.
I went to the Waukee Hy-Vee this evening between 8 and 8:30. 2 Hy-Vee security officers just hanging out. What the crap? Get rid of them and lower prices! BTW, Pepsi 6 packs (16.9 oz) are now $6.29 at Hy-Vee, how much are they at Wal-Mart? Why they are $3.88! Hy-Vee is 62% HIGHER FOR THE SAME DANG THING!!!
