Bottle supplier?:

I'd rather not buy full bottles of soft drinks if it can be avoided as I need a couple of hundred! I know such suppliers must exist, just struggling to find one! Thanks in advance, Paul

Anyone else got any ideas? Google throws up plenty of unsuitable bottle suppliers, but the cheap coke type bottle seems elusive! P

I would much rarther buy cheap lemonade or water in order to get your bottles .
