You've just reminded me that Pizza Hut in Australia had some really good ribs at one point, but apparently only I thought so because they only lasted a few months, if that. :smith:

I have seen modern drinks in glass bottles, but with no deposit.

It varies wildly. South Australia and the Northern Territory, for example, get 10c on even plastic and tetra packs, but the rest of the same country doesn't get it on anything. I can't know for sure but I imagine it varies between states in America too.

In NYC pay phones are still around but they've just started converting them into free gigabit wi-fi hotspots.

Telstra are doing a similar thing in Australia; they own all the pay phones and rather than take them down they just chuck a router inside and boradcast a WiFi network that lets you use your home internet account with them from there.

E: VVV They still have phones in them as far as I can tell, and I imagine the point is to make money off what would otherwise be uselessly obsolete so it's unreasonable to expect free WiFi.
