Tidbit Ten

Found this bottle years ago in my grandparents barn south of Dundee. Although I have located a little information on sunflower orange soda, I don’t know much about Tunica Bottling Works. Figure it dates from the 40s or 50s but not sure. If anybody has information about bottling company please message me. I think this would be a great conversation peace.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta experiencing all the fun things which make that place so unique. Taught 26 years in a Delta school before retiring to start a new career so I understand the challenges of our area. Growing up at Lula near the Helena Bridge, I was lucky to have one foot on each side of the river. I feel at home in both Arkansas and Mississippi. Much like so many of our famous writers and musicians, I realized the Delta is just one place with a great river running through it. View all posts by Cliff Dean

I think it was down behind the old Xyldas Shop across from the Marie Hotel later became Ritchie Bottling. Sold & drank a many a one.

  I was thinking it may have become Ritchie Bottling. Found out this bottle was produced in 1944

    Sounds about right. I remember standing outside & watching the machine run bottling drinks. Was fun to watch!
