Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, motor oil, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink.

The plastic is strain oriented in the stretch blow molding manufacturing process.

The Codd-neck design is still used for the Japanese soft drink Ramune and in the Indian drink called Banta.

Soon after its introduction, the bottle became extremely popular with the soft drink and brewing industries, mainly in Europe, Asia and Australasia, though some alcohol drinkers disdained the use of the bottle.
