Banta<br />

In India, Banta is a favorite soft drink and it is marketed in the distinctively<br />

designed <strong>Codd</strong> Bottle, (“Banta-wali”). Like Japan’s Ramune, the soda pop, true to its<br />

Scottish heritage is a lemon-flavored (nimbu-pani) beverage made locally. Available in<br />

multiple lemon based flavors, Banta is delicious and refreshing, especially in the hot<br />

Indian summers. Since it is made locally, the average cost is much cheaper than a Pepsi<br />

or a Coke and that partially accounts for its popularity.<br />

Large professional glass companies manufacture the Japan version of the <strong>Codd</strong><br />

bottle that contains Ramune. Small local glass companies manufacture the Indian<br />

version of the <strong>Codd</strong> bottles that contain Banta.<br />

Both (marble-in-the-neck) designs are the same NOW – 178 years after <strong>Codd</strong><br />

invented the bottle – as they were THEN – in 1872 when they were first designed,<br />

patented, and first produced under Hiram <strong>Codd</strong>’s Letters Patent for a bottle to contain<br />

Aerated Liquids (Fig. 35).<br />
