For Christmas I received Allan Petretti's Soda Pop book. In the back of the book are several pages listing thousands of different soda brands. The author claims it is only a fraction of the thousands upon thousands of brand names that have been produced over the years and that the list is by no means complete.
I thought it would be fun and interesting to see how many of the more obscure and little known bottles we could come up with here in the way of PHOTOS of those rare and possibly one-of-few brands.
So if you have a bottle (preferably ACL & DECO ) in your collection that you think may be one of these odd-ball brands and feel that no one else in the world has ever seen it, please share it with the rest of us google-eyed collectors. And share it even if your not sure whether its obsure or not. The object here is to knock each other's socks off with some of the weirdest soda bottles the world has ever seen ... or "not" seen.
Below is a sampling of the brand names from the book. All of which I have never heard of myself and don't know if they are acl's, deco's or what. Some may even be relatively recent. However, the author of the book states that no brand name that he listed is later than about 1979. So that's good enough and old enough for me!
Here's a sampling of some of the weirder brand names ... But yours can be anything you want.
I hope this little experiment of mine produces some fun and interesting bottles.
Thanks a lot

{Spelled out exactly the way they appear in the book}
Ak-Zp, Baas, Cloud, Fo-For, Goblin, Hot Rock, Igo, Jingo, Krinkly-Kola, Lucky Boy, Minck, No Bo, Pic-A-Pop, Quizz, Robo, Seewee, Thirs-Tamer, Uic, Vag, Whale, X-Pert, Yogi, Za-Rex.
The only brand I have in my collection that I feel even comes close to being obscure is this Bum's Root Beer from Los Angeles, California - 1941 (I love the cigar stub in his mouth).
