DD came home with an ugly bottle which turned out to be a 16
oz. size. Is this the standard bottle now or do the
beautifully shaped 10 oz. bottles still exist?

TIA

They do, but they're getting harder to find, at least here in San Diego.
Whole Foods sometimes has them, and so does Trader Joe's. And Mimmo's down
in Little Italy has them but not in the 6 pack, just singles, as far as I
know.
There's a sparkling water at Trader Joe's that comes in remarkably blue,
nicely shaped bottles, and they too make excellent vases, particularly for
white roses.
Where are you located? Do you have a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods near by?

I have more than one of both nearby, but as I said... I
don't actually drink it, I encourage others to give me their
empty bottles.

Guess I have to switch to that apple shapped bottle now.

There's a website (somewhere, I can't find it right now) that sells
glassware cut from recycled bottles. You can buy a set cut from
Orangina bottles, and there are some cut from blue, designer-water
bottles. There's a similar website here:

How very odd - I just drank my second-in-my-lifetime Orangina
yesterday. Bought it at Cheep Foods (deep discount grocery store where
"dents make cents"😉 They have one-of-a-kind stuff and this was only the
second bottle of Orangina I've seen. I too bought it for the bottle,
but I really liked the contents!
