It's jut the way it was written, it sounded like you were recalling a personal experience of drinking/seeing Heineken bottles in 1983.

For a trivia buff, it's the difference between trivia you know because you were there and trivia you're pretty sure you know because you read it somewhere. Ideally you would quote the source. As for who cares, that is the topic of this thread. As a side note according to http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/when-heineken-bottles-were-square-62138490/?no-ist Heineken bottles have been green since at least the 1940's. But who care's.

Naaah, as a dutch guy I can confirm we had the good old brown ones with a green logo for most of my life. Green started to become a trend a while back because it looks fresher so a couple of brewers changed to a solid green. Grolsch as well for an example (possibly known overseas as well)

I'm Dutch, was born way before 1983 and beer bottles in the Netherlands have been brown as long as I can remember until recently. When I saw the green Heineken bottles it was in US movies/TV shows and found it odd. Back then only the exported ones were green.

In the spring of 2013 they changed the brown ones to green in the Netherlands: http://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/beurs/951332-1209/heineken-neem-afscheid-van-fles

Yep they've been green for a very long time....

...But that only goes for the exported beer.In Holland bottles remained brown untill a couple of years ago.

Someone that truly cares should change the trivia of the movie.I don't care,just wanted to give you a heads up you're right and all those dutch wisenoses in this thread are wrong.

P.S. I am dutch aswell xD

Are you sure? In my sailor-days around the 70's I drank a lot of "groene tovenaars" as we used to call them. Maybe you just got lost somewhere.

For some reason I thought you were generalizing about all Heineken bottles. In the U.S. they have been green since at least 1963, not that the U.S. really matters in this situation since the movie takes place in Holland where the bottles have been brown from the beginning.

I doubt it's a mistake, it's an international film, since Heineken has always been green outisde the Netherlands they probably kept them so for the movies.

Who cares that the country of origins where the movies takes place used brown bottles.

I sincerely think the green ones makes them look hideously pee like

Shameless product placement then? (Note: I haven't seen this movie yet.)
