"DRINK" COCA-COLA

[SODAPOPBOB]

I promise ... This one won't be twenty pages long !

It's just a few fun things I wanted to share with everyone. Short and sweet!

This first page shows the various script singnatures that Coca Cola used over the years. I thought it was cool to see them all on one page. It's an interesting array of transistions.

There are a few more pages to follow.

I hope you like them.

This one really cracks me up. It pretty much speaks for itself. I'm sure you will wonder the same things I am about it. It looks 1950s. But did they really need to teach people how to drink a Coke at that time? Interesting but weird. They act like soda pop was just invented. []

Coca Cola Paper Coaster. Date Unknown.

Here's another first. This is from 1940 right when the Owens-Illinois and Duraglas companies hooked up. Bottle marks with both names started appearing on soda bottles in 1940. I thought the entire ad was great. Great color too. Look arround the edges (zoom) and see if you can find your favorite brand. Each label shown is a real brand. I thought the reference to "smooth lips" was odd. It's like they are saying that before the two compainies joined soda bottles cut your lips or something. Don't you just love it?

That's it for now. Maybe more later.

Thanks, back ~

Footnote: As the title suggest, the intent of this thread is to focus on a sometimes overlooked aspect to soda pop collecting ... which is "Drinking it" ~ followed by ~ what we drink it out of ... which is a "Bottle" ~ followed by the most famous brand ... which is "Coca Cola"


Thus ...
