"DRINK" COCA-COLA - 1/29/2011 12:54:47 AM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline                                    I promise ... This one won't be twenty pages long !                 It's just a few fun things I wanted to share with everyone. Short and sweet!   This first page shows the various script singnatures that Coca Cola used over the years. I thought it was cool to see them all on one page. It's an interesting array of transistions.                                               There are a few more pages to follow.                                                          I hope you like them.                                                                                                                                      SODAPOPBOB       Coca Cola Script Trademark/Logo Early script variation with diamonds. Unusual type style used on a number of calendars. Early script with the line extending from first "O" "Trademark" in tail; also no trademark in tail. Crude script with "Trade-mark" in tail, under the tail or no trademark with "Trade Mark Registered" in tail 1901-1903 Custom script with "Trade-Mark" in tail; note open "O's", and unusual tails on "C's" Misused script "Trade-Mark Registered" in tail; used on some 1903 calendars. Traditional script "Trade-Mark Registered" in tail. Traditional script "Trade-mark Reg. U.S Pat. Off." in tail Traditional script "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." under script. Traditional script "Trade Mark (R)" under script. "Arci-form" logo also called "Fishtail" logo by collectors. "Dynamic Ribbon" also called "Wave" logo; actually introduced in late 1969 Post #: 1

I'm sure you will wonder the same things I am about it. It looks 1950s. But did they really need to teach people how to drink a Coke at that time? Interesting but weird. They act like soda pop was just invented.      Coca Cola Paper Coaster. Date Unknown. Attachment (1) (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 2

RE: "DRINK" COCA-COLA - 1/29/2011 1:09:26 AM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline Here's another first. This is from 1940 right when the Owens-Illinois and Duraglas companies hooked up. Bottle marks with both names started appearing on soda bottles in 1940. I thought the entire ad was great. Great color too. Look arround the edges (zoom) and see if you can find your favorite brand. Each label shown is a real brand. I thought the reference to "smooth lips" was odd. It's like they are saying that before the two compainies joined soda bottles cut your lips or something. Don't you just love it?  That's it for now. Maybe more later.

He did a revised version of it in 1997 that he sang at Princess Diana's funeral, and which was released as a single that same year. He said later that he would never sing the revised version in public again except at the request of the Royal Family.                                                           "Candle In The Wind"                                               Goodbye Norma Jean                                         Though I never knew you at all                                      You had the grace to hold yourself                                        While those around you crawled                                      They crawled out of the woodwork                                      And they whispered into your brain                                          They set you on the treadmill                                    And they made you change your name                                                         [chorus]                                      And it seems to me you lived your life                                            Like a candle in the wind                                       Never knowing who to cling to                                               When the rain set in                               And I would have liked to have known you                                                But I was just a kid                                    Your candle burned out long before                                               Your legend ever did                                                 Loneliness was tough                                      The toughest role you ever played                                        Hollywood created a superstar                                       And pain was the price you paid                                              Even when you died                                       Oh the press still hounded you                                           All the papers had to say                                  Was that Marilyn was found in the nude                                                     [repeat chorus]                                                Goodbye Norma Jean                                        Though I never knew you at all                                     You had the grace to hold yourself                                       While those around you crawled                                             Goodbye Norma Jean                                    From the young man in the 22nd row                            Who sees you as something more than sexual                                  More than just our Marilyn Monroe                                                     [repeat chorus]  < Message edited by SODAPOPBOB -- 1/29/2011 1:15:03 PM > (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 14

RE: "DRINK" COCA-COLA - 1/30/2011 1:00:56 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline                                 Regarding the Coca Cola coaster shown earlier ...   I didn't mention this before because I was thinking about buying it myself from e-bay. But since I have decided not to, I thought I would pass it on. It is available at "Buy It Now" for $42.49 and/or "Best Offer."  I was going to make an offer of $10.00, but changed my mind. So if anyone is interested in it, here's the link. And if someone does buy it, please let us know about it and how much you paid.   Thanks SPBOB e-bay link :    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220727752397&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT  (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 17

RE: "DRINK" COCA-COLA - 1/30/2011 1:13:37 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline I almost forgot there was a time when about half of the Coca Cola consumption was from glasses at soda fountains. Below is an ad from 1912. But what I thought most interesting about it is in the lower left corner where it says ...                                                                    Free                               Our new booklet telling of Coca Cola vindication                                             at Chattanooga,  for the asking.    Does anyone know what "vindication" they are talking about?  I looked around a little but couldn't find anything related to it. If you know please let us hear from you.   Thanks   SPBOB                                                         1912 Ad Attachment (1) < Message edited by SODAPOPBOB -- 1/30/2011 1:17:47 PM > (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 18

RE: "DRINK" COCA-COLA - 1/30/2011 1:40:51 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline I found it ... and surprised I missed it earlier. It involved a 1909 court case regarding the effects of caffine and Coca Cola consumption.   Read all about it here ... (This goes to Part I - But it has a link to Part II and the final decision).
