    You are correct. Mexico still recycles their soda bottles, so the vendors give you the soda in a bag and keep the bottle, because they don’t trust people to return them anymore.

      Damn, that makes me appreciate the convenience of bottles. I can’t imagine you can simply place a bag of soda on the typical surface without risking a mess (though i suppose there’s probably tech or methods for dealing with it of course)… Def learned something interesting today!

        In Ghana they sold water in plastic bags everywhere, so you just got a bag and drank it straight away. Same thing here I guess, not possible to carry it around.
