In all bottles made of this there is a small dimple on the bottom of the bottle and, in the case of fizzy drink bottles, a flower-shaped base. This flower shape helps the PET bottle to cope with the pressure put on it by fizzy drinks. The dimple is caused when the bottle is blow-moulded upside down - the dimple is where the plastic was forced into a mould and then cut off.

Ahh right I must not remember the black caps because my mum was one of those - "NO we cannot buy crisps and 'pop' like everyone you know from school" which meant I was stuck in the orange squash section on the shop!
Of course as soon as I left home I eat and drank any thing bad for me to get my own back - ha haaaaa!
