No Free Refills

Why does Coke and all other drink products feel like they have to put "NO REFILL" on their labels?  At some point in history were there a bunch of people using old 20 oz. Coke bottles in McDonald's filling them back up at the soda fountain?  Who does that?  There is no need for the reminder on the label because anywhere you could possible get a refill would kick you out if you tried.  Maybe someone in our litigious society went to the bottling plant and demanded a refill and when denied he (definitely a dude) sued because the bottle did not specifically say "no refills".  If that is the case, it's very sad.  I like to think in response Coke put "NO REFILLS" in all caps as a small screw you.

In Conclusion, don't be stupid, you cannot just get free refills of anything you buy.  This is America and we will rub capitalism all in your face so just buy a new Coke if you want another one, hippie!

"At some point 'refill' used to be spelled 're-fill'.  Where did the hyphen go?"
