Thanks Thamanna , that's really kind of you. I was truly amazed to find this type of bottle still in use - lots of fun! Thanks for watching and hope you will enjoy some of the other videos. Always good to hear from you in the comments. Best wishes, F-J
Here in the States I've never seen an old Codd bottle while collecting or in antique shops, though I was introduced to this wonderful design similar to your modern bottle, found it in an Asian food market. It was the most delicious lemon lime that I've ever had and i don't even LIKE lemon lime. Love your description about the gas molecule impacts, I've never thought about gas pressure exactly like that and it makes such intuitive sense. Thanks for sharing your bottle collection and the physics behind it, this was a good breakfast video.
Thanks, so pleased you liked it. Yes, I wonder if the old codd bottle ever made it to the USA or it was only here in the UK that they were popular. As you say, it was a real surprise seeing them used for modern Asian drinks. They aren't cheap but a real bit of fun regardless!
That the seal works is impressive, all those squillions of molecules trying to get out - you inspired me to Google and discover one can weigh pop bottles and observe the contents dissipating.
Thanks David - I guess there are no original bottles left with their contents sealed in but as long as the fibre washer/rubber washer remains intact there is no reason why they shouldn't! Of course, and very obviously, what I failed to point out is unlike the screw cap, one open there is no resealing it - not sure if they did rubber bungs for these bottles but I guess you were expected to drink it in one sitting. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment.
As a lad in Yorkshire we called large or clear taws* "bottle washers" . I always assumed the name was from the ball washers/valves in Codd bottles. Soda siphons were filled inverted, so I assume fizzy pop was too. *marbles/balls to southerners.
This video feels like it's straight out of 2011. Short, fun and hooks you immediately. Cheers mate, hope you go far!

Very interesting, I've never heard of Codd bottles 🙂
Yes, only bottle collectors would have heard of them now I guess, so I was amazed to find a modern day version of them in Sainsburys!

Sounds like you must be right about the marbles - funny how these names come about!
