The story behind Codd Bottles or popularly known as The Goli Soda Bottles
It all started on South East London, where a British soft swig maker, Hiram Codd designed, developed and patented the famous codd bottles. In early 1872, these bottles were originally made packaging carbonated water. The beauty of the design was such that glass ball or a marble was trapped in the neck of the bottle which ensured that the carbonated water did not loose fizz and also ensured that without the need of a removing the cork the bottled could be reused several times.
How was this done?
The bottle was simply tilled under gas pressure. This forced the marble or the glass ball into the lip until it met the rubber washer and retained in a groove. This was a perfect airtight seal. The popularity of these bottles spread worldwide and they were widely bused to pack drinks like soda water or aerated water.
