Grapico

Anybody on here from the South has gotta love Grapico!!

Oh, here's Orangico!....their attempt at an Orange soda - but it didn't have the success of the grape!

They bottled it in Johnson City, TN back in the late 1940's; however, I have never been able to find it in this area. The only place I have seen it is online from the bottler themselves.

Here's some more Grapico goodies.. the first is an invoice from Grossman's. If you caught my 'history of Grapico' article in the Soda Spectrum a few months ago, you'll know that Grossman's out of New Orleans invented Grapico.

Now, the good stuff. An original, half full, paper labeled amber bottle from Grossman's.

Those are honestly the first embossed Grapico's I've ever seen. Nice bottles!

I wish I had a set of 'em, but it's two pics of the same bottle. LOL Just wanted to show a little different angle.
Thanks for the comments too.

I was introduced to Grapico bottles about 45 years ago. My father & I were allowed to "haul off" hundreds of the bottles in your 1st pic, as well as straight sided bottles, some with what appears to be a painted Grapico label.

Mr. L.M. Veazey bottled Grapico (and Rye-Ola) here in Sylacauga, Alabama; and the bottles were given to us by his daughter.

It is a Thrill to see your paper labeled bottles, caps, and ephemera. Thanks for sharing.

They still make Grapico; however, we can't get it in my area. Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale owns the brand now.
