Could somebody please tell me the story behind par-t-pak sodas? Not really sure what it is all about because ive seen them on a number of different soda bottles.
From my observations into the brand it seems to have been originally used as the name of the larger size of the other Nehi products, thus the name Party Pack, or Par-T-Pak. Nearly all of the earlier bottles are of the quart size and usually paper label. As time went on the brand evolved from being the larger sized product into it's own brand. This is why we don't see quart Nehi or Royal Crown bottles until the introduction of the diamond label bottles in the mid fifties.
I don't know much, but this is what I do know. Par T Pak Cola, originally named Jumbo Cola, it was a Early 30's ACl bottling company. Due to a limited customer bases and low budget the company was eventually bought out and renamed Par T pak Cola Around the late 30's early 40's Hope this helps sorta...[&o]
