If you are like me, you might have had some difficulty in obtaining properly scaled bottles.  Most of the liquor and or soft drink bottles I've bought on e-bay for instance, though often marketed as 1/6th scale look a lot more like 1/12 scale.  An exception was a pair of Chivas Regal bottles I got from this source on e-bay

I recently ordered some beer bottles and Coke bottle lookalikes from Monkey Depot.  I've seen these at Big Bad Toy Store also. They are actually labelled Coco Colo, using Coca Cola style lettering. See the images below.

Kamiko pours herself a rather large dose of correctly scaled Chivas Regal after emerging from a long, hot bath.

Kamiko is also fond of correctly scaled Bleineken beer.

And now for a little size comparison between your typical e-bay not-really 1/6 scale Coke bottle and a properly scaled bottle of Coco Colo.

Well, that's all for now.

Yes, these are pretty well-sized. If you buy them as sets, they also come with a crate (though there aren't enough bottles in the set to fill up the crate).

Nice finds. It is indeed difficult to find stuff at the correct scale.

Those look nice, the comparison between the two really shows off the difference.

There's not just a scale difference but a very obvious qualitative difference as well.

thanks for sharing, i see the 1/12 being mismarketed alot lately. afaik BBI did the only 1/6 actual coke bottles of that style, and maybe barbie. i havent got the barbie coca cola waitress set, but it's still something I want. however given how notoriously difficult barbie clothing can be i may be wasting money.

Thanks for posting. A lot of the things passed off as 1/6 scale are not, so this is good to know.
