  If I’m not mistaken, I think that when you buy soda in Mexico, they often pour it into a bag, so I’d guess it’s just coke or something. Not sure about beer and stuff though.

    You are correct. Mexico still recycles their soda bottles, so the vendors give you the soda in a bag and keep the bottle, because they don’t trust people to return them anymore.

      Damn, that makes me appreciate the convenience of bottles. I can’t imagine you can simply place a bag of soda on the typical surface without risking a mess (though i suppose there’s probably tech or methods for dealing with it of course)… Def learned something interesting today!

        In Ghana they sold water in plastic bags everywhere, so you just got a bag and drank it straight away. Same thing here I guess, not possible to carry it around.

  I think it’s to make it look like you’re not drinking alcohol in public, it’s illegal in some places.
