I couldn't find anything pertaining to you champagne glass.

Hey, iggy


I'm still searching for various possibilities and/or connections, but wanted to ask ...


Isn't one of the popular aspects of champagne that when its poured the bubbles rise up and out of the glass?


Maybe the rising bubbles above the swimsuit girl are coming out of a glass

P.S.



If not from a champagne-type glass, then where are the bubbles coming from that are rising above the swimsuit girl?

I wonder what types of hangovers they were referring to in this 1937 ad? Is it possible to get a hangover from drinking too much champagne?


Note: This was a popular ad campaign in the early days of 7up

By the way, the so called swimsuit girl wasn't always a swimmer - she started out as a 'flying girl' as illustrated in this early 1930s cardboard sign ...

Speaking of flying ... (Late 1920s / Early 1930s)

Regarding the evolution of the 7up bottle ...


I did a thorough search of early paper labels and could not find a single one that has my so called 'champagne glass' design on it. The 'champagne glass' design only appears on acl/painted label bottles. The earliest confirmed acl 7up bottles are dated 1935.

Shown here are two 1935 7up acl bottles. Notice the first one does not have the swimsuit girl nor any bubbles. The second one is amber (from San Diego) and has ...

1. The Swimsuit Girl
2. Bubbles
3. White 'champagne glass' design


So whatever it might have been that influenced the so called 'champagne glass' design, it happened around 1935


Note: I've never seen or heard of a 1935 green 7up acl and I'm confident they did not come out until 1936-37 at the earliest.

When I said ...

"I've never seen or heard of a 1935 green 7up acl ..."

What I meant was...

"I've never seen or heard of a 1935 green 7up acl with a swimsuit girl label"

 

[SODAPOPBOB]

Or ...

Is what I'm seeing possibly intended to replicate one of these?

 

[SODAPOPBOB]

Or ...


Am I crazy and just imagining things that aren't there?
