I've come up with some crazy stuff before but this one is likely to be the craziest of them all. So please keep this confession in mind during the course of this thread as I openly admit this is pretty far fetched. But then again, maybe not. Maybe I've discovered something that has been right in front of our eyes for years but we just never noticed it before. For starters, study these three 7up bottles closely and I will be back shortly with the crazy part ...

Now study this close up of the 7 ounce green acl and notice where I added an arrow and printed ...

1. Lip
2. Rounded

A. By 'Lip' I am referring to the portion of the white part that extends or hangs over.
B. By 'Rounded' I am referring to the portion of the white part that curves inward toward the bottom of the label.

And now for the crazy part!


Is it even remotely possible that the white portion of the label was intended to represent this ...

Crazy - Right?

Maybe not!

Something tells me that whoever designed the label had a specific reason for including the overhanging lip and the rounded part that curves in.

Notice that the paper label bottle I posted has two overhanging designs on it that might be described as 'search lights'


Notice that the paper label I posted by itself has three overhanging designs on it that might be described as 'search lights'


But notice that on neither one of the paper labels does it have the overhanging lip, nor does the lower part curve in - they are both vertically straight


What I'm calling the 'Champagne Glass' label only occurs on the acl painted label bottles. Why?

Yeah Bob, that sounds crazy alright. But it could be true. Who came up with that ACL design? That would be the next question. And probably a very hard one to figure out.

Which brings us to this 7up knockoff ...

Hmm, I find it interesting that the swimsuit girl just happens to be holding a champagne glass
