I have a Nielsen vanishing Coke bottle. Where can I find a matching real (glass) Coke bottle?
I see that Safeway has a six-pack of this type, but I haven't swung by there yet to check them out.
Anyone got a tip?

The current 8 oz. glass Coca Cola bottles have a red label, unlike the "Classic Coca Cola" 8 oz. bottle that the Nielsen bottle is modeled on. It is possible to print the Coca-Cola logo on vinyl that will stick on the Nielsen bottle.
OR look on eBay or at flea markets to get yourself a few matching old Classic Coca Cola 8 oz. bottles.

But the size and color are a match, right?
It's just paint on glass. A knife or glass scraper from the hardware store should be fine.

I don't currently own a Nielsen Coke bottle to compare to the current glass 8 oz. Coke bottles .

I find them in antique shops / flea markets etc. Usually can find them for about $5.
If you find several, put them in the cardboard pack holders, it helps disguise the Neilsen
bottle. And the sound of the other glass bottles adds to the illusion.
Best of luck
