Looks like that Coke machine has some heat damage.

Speaking of things frosted over, here's another dog. Lol [] But this time it's Dr Pepper's "Frosty" the St. Bernard from the late 1950s early 60s. I actually remember this mascot from when I was a kid. Frosty was part of the advertising campaign that promoted the now rare candy-striped acl bottle. (Discussed in a previous thread). By the way, I wonder how many dang mascots there are that have the name Frosty?

And for those who missed the thread about the candy-striped Dr Pepper bottle, here's what it looks like, with one selling on e-Bay recently for $500.00+ ... This particular one is dated 1957.

And as long as we're on the subject of Dr Pepper, I wonder what the story is on this guy? Is he supposed to be a doctor or a pepper? Lol [] He looks like a shyster! I have no specific dates on him, but do know he goes way, way back.

This, and the one to follow on the next page, are a couple of oldies but goodies. Here we have "Kayo" who is described as ...

[*]Kayo: Moon Mullin's street urchin kid brother, who sleeps in an open dresser drawer—one of the comic strip's most iconic images. Pint-sized Kayo (a play on "K.O.", sportswriters' shorthand for a knockout punch) is wise beyond his years, and even a bit of a cynic. His plain-speaking, matter-of-fact bluntness is a frequent source of comedy. Full of mischief and bad grammar, Kayo is usually clad in suspenders, polka dot pants and a black derby, and is a good deal more of the ruffian than Moon.

Kayo Chocolate Beverage was popular in the 1930s and 40s with both an embossed bottle as well as a later acl.

And here we have "Black Kow" which I know absolutely nothing about, except that it's a cool looking cow. [] 1940s/50s ???
