Interesting assortment of bottles, especially the "Sky High" pictured in the second grouping. Did you know that the "Ski-Hi" pictured below was actually intended to be pronounced "Sky-High" in competition with "Nehi" in the 1920s? But irregardless of their so called clever attempt with a play on words, it's hard for me not to see and pronounce it as anything other than "Skee-Hi." And it wouldn't surprise me if everyone who drank it back in the 1920s pronounced it that way as well. ???
Here's a couple of links on the subject - one of which is current - the other is from 2011 ...
