Food for thought ...


1. Carbonated bubbles rise from a liquid

2. Soap bubbles rise in the air

3. Is the Slenderizing Lady/Swimsuit Girl rising to the surface through carbonated bubbles or reaching in the air for soap bubbles?

4. In other words, is she standing or swimming?

5. And are you sure about one or the other?

6. Or is she possibly standing on her toes and preparing to dive from a platform or diving board?

7. And is it even remotely possible that ...

A: The three lines on the paper labels represent a diving board in motion?

B: The squared-off overhang on the acl labels represent a diving platform?

I'm glad I subtitled this thread "Outside The Box" because this next series of entries is so far out there that you're going to think I have lost my mind. However, with so much going on today, I'm not sure I will have time to complete the whole thing, but will try my best. Its 12:00 Noon here on the west coast and I only have until about 4:00 PM to work on it, so please bare with me, as I might not be able to complete it until sometime tomorrow.

For starters, check out these images and ask yourself if its possible they are in any way related? I'll tell you more about the black & white bottle image later but for now just know that its from 1927. The 7up ad is from 1931 ...

Question(s)

Same? / Similar? / Connected? / Coincidence? / None of the above?

Reminder ... (To be tied in with this new theory later)

Hamblett Grigg joined his father's 'Howdy Company' in 1929

Oops!

I attached the wrong Howdy bottle - that was the 1929 version - here's the 1927 example I intended to post - plus a 1928 newspaper ad showing the bottle was being advertised and used at the time ...
