Just a quibble - the *real* classic coke bottles are the 7 oz. size that
was the original.   Bv)=  I scurried off to my Bing search engine and
learned that both the razzleberies and peaches are in a second go-round
status. The raspberry was first introduced on June 1, 2005 and had been 
discontinued by the end of the year. Couldn't easily find information 
about the peach flavour other than it was originally done for the 
Japanese market. 

Sounds to me like they've been tracking the flavour usage from the mix
it on site "Freestyle" dispensers in Burger Whop and other fats food 
joints.

I've not seen either locally - but, then, I've not been looking ... other
than for Peach Fresca - which is hen's teeth around here. I have noticed
some of the other variants - like ginger coke, cherry coke, vanilla coke,
cherry-vanilla-decaf ...... I pass them by.
