Bob, check out the even uglier version in the Soda ACL 'bible'...#204.
Yech! Devilish looking girl.

It was a mildly carbonated chocolate soda and a competetor of KayO from Chicago.

I found it ... same girl as above but painted in "flame red" instead of white. Scarry! [:-]

And speaking of chocolate ... did you ever stop to think that the popularity of colas is due to their slightly "chocolate" flavor? On TV a while back I saw where chocolate was voted as the number-one most popular flavor wordwide. The next time you drink a Coke or Pepsi, close your eyes and tilt your head just right, and you will see what I mean. Plus, Coca Cola is derived from "Coca Leaf" and "Kola Nut." Not to mention that the hobbleskirt bottle itself was originally designed from what they thought a "Cocoa Pod" looked like. (See photo below of Cocoa Pod in various stages of ripening).

Plus, here's a little additional info on the bottle's original creation ... (Now all we need is for someone to post a photo of a "amber" Coca Cola bottle, and this posting will have some true relevence).

SODA "POD" BOB []

Chapman J. Root, president of the Root Glass Company, turned the project over to members of his supervisory staff, including company auditor T. Clyde Edwards, plant superintendent Alexander Samuelsson, and Earl R. Dean, bottle designer and supervisor of the bottle molding room. Root and his subordinates decided to base the bottle's design on one of the soda's two ingredients, the coca leaf or the kola nut, but were unaware of what either ingredient looked like. Dean and Edwards went to the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library and were unable to find any information about coca or kola. Instead, Dean was inspired by a picture of the gourd-shaped cocoa pod in the Encyclopedia Britannica. Dean made a rough sketch of the pod and returned back to the plant to show Mr. Root. He explained to Root how he could transform the shape of the pod into a bottle. Chapman Root gave Dean his approval.[46][/align]

I might as well follow this up with the result of Dean's design. (As if no one has ever seen this). Lol []
