Whenever it comes to BTTF and bottles, people think of Pepsi. Have you ever wondered what brand the milk bottles in the school cafeteria scene are? You can't recognize the logo in the movie, it's too blurred, even on Blu-ray.

Then I found this picture in a movie book ...

... and was able to get me the correct bottle.

I edited my earlier post to include an image of a vintage lid. The image is good enough to use to make a replica so it might be worth grabbing for a reference.

You could ask the seller if he has more of them. See my eBay link.

Thanks. I actually didn't think about the cap/lid for that bottle, since the bottles in the movie are all open. But nice to have a picture of it now.

Congratulations. I bet he's wondering why so many people are asking him now for that bottle. Don't tell him where the bottle is from or you will pay a fortune. :lol

No problem. It just occurred to me that this cap might not be the same size, vintage or exact logo as the cafeteria half pint bottles. Good score and smart to secure the item before revealing it to the interwebs.

The Etsy seller wrote, the cap measures slightly over 1 1/2 inches in diameter. That should perfectly fit my bottle.

I was silly if I wouldn't secure it before.

I didn't realize the cap was already sold, bummer. At least there is the image.

HAHAHA! I never really wanted set dressing form BTTF. In my mind there is a huge difference between set dressing, costumes, and props.
