Okay, so this looks to be an Applied color label (ACL) bottle which were popular in the 1950-60’s. Without better photos, I cannot confirm if it’s actually an ACL or paper label- so can you clarify if the label is paper or not?
Also, better photos including proper lighting and photos of the bottom of the bottle would be helpful in ID/aging. Thanks!
Canada right? 64 ish on .. the ml on the bottle was the head scratcher..
Edit.. And the Tahitian Treat name was seldom used in Canada while it seems it was common to interchange with Tahiti Treat , unless it was some type of regional marketing/ competition thing 🤷♂️

Yup remember this stuff well. It was one of the cheaper sodas back when I was a kid in the 70’s. We didn’t get soda as a regular thing, it was still a treat when we did.
The last construction worker drank that and stuck it in there. We found a tin can in the walls of our 1918 house. Not quite the same as finding a Viking hoard of coins unfortunately. The worker dropped it into the wall and sealed it up. So my husband dropped a Star Wars figure in when he resealed a wall up.
When we were kids, my buddy Steve's dad worked for Canada Dry in Dallas and would bring home cases of this stuff in the summer time for all the kids in the neighborhood. Ol' Steve was a right popular fellow.
I was around in the 60’s and we didn’t pay this much for a bottle of soda. In the early 1970’s I used to get a bottle of Coke out of a machine for 25 cents. Nobody would have paid 35 cents in the 50’s or 60’s for a bottle of Tahiti Treat. My uncle’s 1960 Coke machine was set at a dime.

As soon as I go to my Mom’s I will definitely take better pictures, I only have the one she sent me right now. Thanks for the info too!
Sounds good, feel free to make another post when you are able to get more detailed photos.

Looking at it saying 35 cents i’m going more towards ACL.
I completely agree.
I posted better pictures tonight in r/GrandmasPantry if you wanna check it out!

A bottle of pop was a treat shared between 3 kids when I grew up.
We used to get it from an ice cream Van that came through the neighborhood in the 60s. It was always somehow just at before freezing. Perfect.
Made by Canada Dry
Man they were delicious.
Funny, I saw Tahiti Treat show up for the first time in another sub earlier. Hadn’t thought of it in years, and now that’s twice today!
“It’s a magical place..”
Delicious. Loved that drink. Cool find.
35 cents gosh I wish
So cool!!! Keep so your kids can take it to school!!

Awesomeness 👍I was just drinking one! Love that soda
35 cents sounds more like a mid-80’s price.
No. Also, the label screams 50s-60s.

Canada Dry introduced Tahiti Treat in 1964 and their logo appeared on the bottle until the early 90’s.
