Has anybody bought a plastic bottle to see if it is indeed the same formula? I have not seen a single plastic bottle here in Winnipeg, by the way.

I was in Wal-Mart today and saw that the glass bottles are all gone now. The new plastic bottles do look like the old glass ones, so it is a little strange to grab one and find that you're holding a plastic bottle.
I cracked an Ice Blue open and smelled it. As far as I can tell, it's still the same juice.

Bought some AV Musk at a Sav-on Pharmacy here in the Rogue Valley of Oregon and they still had everything in the AV line in glass bottles.
Methinks I waited too long!
Glass bottles had been plentiful locally, until today. All plastic at Wal Mart now!
It was a smaller bottle, but still 7 oz. It was also around a dollar cheaper than the glass bottles were.
So I bought one.
The ingredients are listed as the same.
To me, they smell differently. Almost as if the plastic one is stronger. Maybe the dispensing hole is larger? I haven't actually worn it yet. That will be tomorrow.

Last nite 3/1/10 my WM in Texas was fully stocked on the big Glass 7 oz bottles.
Saw plastic bottles in the Kansas City metropolitan area over the weekend. That glass bottle must be pretty thick because the plastic bottle is quite a bit smaller. Graphics and text are identical between the two bottles. The scent is identical as well, as far as I could tell.
Thanks for posting that, BigL. Would be very interested to hear your comments when you have tried it out.
OK, I wore the glass bottle Tuesday and the plastic bottle yesterday. Spent both nights in jail for indecent exposure
From the bottle, the plastic smells stronger. I think it is because of the larger hole. The larger hole is definitely messier. I tried my usual palm splash and dripped about four times as much as I usually do- one or two drops down the side of the bottle being the norm.
I also tried the thumb-over method. The AV pours out so fast I actually overflowed my palm before I could plug it up.
Later in the day, I put a splash on each wrist. While I am not especially good with scents, I couldn't tell the difference.
My final test was a drop test. It didn't break.
It really seems that it is the same stuff in a different bottle, just the bottle could use some refining- like being made out of glass!
I am off Friday this week so I might go to Wal Mart and get 2 more Big 7 oz bottles. 
I purchased some at the Shoppers Drug Mart at Westhills...there were some plastic bottles mixed in with the glass ones!
Plastic is in Canada
Cheers!

If anybody really wants to get a glass bottle I would be more than happy to pick one up for you at no extra charge.The plastic bottle problem won't hit Canada quite as quick
Luckily I have glass bottles in both sizes. They will stay in the bathroom but I guess I will wrap them in bubble-wrap. 
Most stores in Nortern NJ are still stocked with the glass.
Make no mistake, they are coming. I just liberated the last two glass bottles of Ice Blue from my local Meijer. The rest were plastic.
I took a whiff of the AV Original Sport (GREEN) this morning 
I have a HUGE glass bottle
However, I use it as a light cologne, because it`s too drying as an AS

Plastic at Wally world, Watchung NJ
Oh,
And did I mention that it's very cooling when used as a body splash
