Prepare to be transported back to the radical 1980s with this totally tubular vintage Nehi Grape bottle cap from Dr Pepper Bottling, Jefferson, NC! This bodacious piece of Americana isn't just a bottle cap - it's a time machine that'll catapult you straight into the heart of the neon decade. Picture yourself cruising down the street in your DeLorean, wind in your hair, as you crack open an ice-cold Nehi Grape soda. The sweet, fizzy taste of grape goodness explodes on your tongue, perfectly complementing the synth-heavy tunes blasting from your boombox. This isn't just any old Nehi Grape bottle cap - it's a portal to a world of big hair, neon colors, and totally gnarly vibes!

The Nehi Grape bottle cap, a true gem in the world of vintage soda collectibles, features the iconic grape logo that'll make any collector's heart skip a beat. Its vibrant purple hue and pristine condition make it a standout piece that'll have your friends saying, "No way, dude!" Whether you're a die-hard collector of all things retro or just someone looking to add a splash of nostalgia to your pad, this Nehi Grape bottle cap is the ultimate conversation starter. Don't let this righteous piece of history slip through your fingers - snag it now before it vanishes faster than Marty McFly in a time machine!

These totally rad bottle caps were discovered in an abandoned bottling plant in Jefferson, NC, during the 1990s - talk about a time capsule! It's like they were waiting all those years just for you to come along and give them a new home.

But wait, there's more! Did you know that Nehi has been quenching America's thirst since 1924? The name "Nehi" (pronounced "knee-high") was a clever marketing ploy to remind customers just how tall their bottles were. And get this - their ads often featured a foxy lady with her skirt hiked up to her knees, showing off her stockings. Talk about selling the sizzle!

Nehi wasn't just any old soda brand - it was part of the same cool crew that owned Royal Crown Cola. In fact, the company was called the Nehi Corporation until RC Cola became the big cheese in 1955, prompting a name change to Royal Crown Company. Nehi was so hip that it had Hollywood royalty like Bing Crosby, Joan Crawford, Bob Hope, and Hedy Lamarr singing its praises. It even sponsored Robert Ripley's mind-bending "Ripley's Believe it or Not" radio show!

And for all you M*A*S*H fans out there, remember Radar's obsession with Nehi soda? That lovable goofball would move heaven and earth just to get his hands on a bottle of this sweet nectar. Now that's dedication!

Fast forward to today, and Nehi has become something of a unicorn in the soda world. Keurig Dr Pepper scooped up the brand in 2008, but finding a bottle of this liquid gold is about as rare as stumbling upon a working payphone. It's mostly available online and in super limited markets, making this Nehi Grape bottle cap an even more precious relic of a bygone era.

From its roots as an American icon in the Roaring Twenties to its current status as an endangered species of the soda world, Nehi has had quite the journey. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of this fizzy legacy - this Nehi Grape bottle cap isn't just a collectible, it's a slice of American history you can hold in your hand!

as expected and described acceptablye

?? If this cap which is absolutely beautiful and pristine only gets a 3 star review from you then obviously you have standards that I nor anyone else can possibly attain. I reached out for days and no response which makes it hard to establish a relationship and perform customer service. With Etsy requirements and the fact that we obviously cant meet your standards then we will have to part ways. I wish you good luck. No Soup for You!
