Sprite

Coca-Cola calls the special bottle shape the dimple bottle. Today, this bottle shape is only found in Germany in disposable containers. Sprite is available in Germany (as of 2016) in the following packaging:

• Returnable PET bottle with 15 cent deposit: 1.0 litre
• Non-returnable PET bottle with a 25 cent deposit: 0.33, 0.5, 1.25, 1.5 and 2.0 litres
• One-way can at 25 cent deposit: 0.33 litre
• returnable glass bottle with 15 cent deposit: 0.2, 0.33 and 0.5 litre
• CC-Keg at 25 Euro deposit: 9 and 18 litres

Coca-Cola announced at the beginning of 2015 that it would discontinue its PET returnable bottles with a volume of 0.5 and 1.5 liters. The 1.5-liter returnable bottle is being discontinued, citing declining sales due to demographic changes. According to Coca-Cola, the 0.5-litre returnable bottle suffers from the high cost of returning empties because, as a takeaway item, it would often be returned elsewhere than it was purchased. This meant that empty crates had to be transported at an increased rate. The refill rate was the lowest of the returnable containers at five to six returns, as fifteen percent of the bottles were also not returned at all.

The returnable bottles achieve an average of twenty rotations in the case of glass bottles and fifteen in the case of PET bottles.
