In Topic: When To Go To $1.25 Bottle CSD

Is that vistars standard size? 100 per box?

There's 60 in a case for LSS chips. All the LSS chips I get from Vistar have 60 in a case.

Just to be clear, but is everybody using the 16.9 oz bottles or the 16 oz bottles? Small difference one would think, but it somehow makes a big difference in jamming problems. I use to use 16.9 oz bottles and they would get stuck all the time, then Poland Spring earlier this summer introduced their new "jam-free" 16 oz size. And these have been working great. No jamming issues!!

So I'm just curious if everybody is using 16.9 oz or 16 oz. Poland Spring is the only one that I know of that makes the new 16 oz style. They're slightly shorter and thicker than the more common 16.9 oz size.

Aside from 20 oz Aquafina and Dasani, I also vend 16 oz Poland Spring. Their new "jam free" style bottles are working great. Those I vend for 75 cents at most places (a few for a dollar). They cost me $4.94 for a case of 24.

I also get frozen tastykake from Vistar. Once they defrost I would give them about 3 weeks or so. I've let them go to a month a few times and never had a complaint. But tastykake is such a great seller for me that they almost always are gone within 3 weeks.

But this is only for the regular tastykake items (krimpets, juniors, etc). If you get the frozen pies those are good for no more then a week when they thaw (they get nasty really quick after that).

Yeah. Vistar's cash & carry in Bristol has a full line of Coke and Pepsi products. Both bottles and cans. Canada Dry too.

Their pricing for the 20 oz is the exact same you're getting yours for.
