We have visited the Coca-Cola Display in the Atlanta, GA Underground and have some mementos from there. The packaging of Coca-Cola has gone through many iterations over the years but to most of us, the old 100 year old design is the classic. By 1923 6-packs were introduced and in 1928 bottled Coke overtook Fountain sales. I did learn in my brief research that while Coke was first bottled in 1894, the Curved Bottle was approved in 1915. And, I wasn’t able to find answers to the simple questions of: What is the significance of the name of the City embossed? Where were the bottles actually produced? and, are they done in-house by the Company or by contract?. A bit of Google research convinced me that there is more information available on Coca-Cola than what I’m willing to pursue. Our discussion produced more questions than answers. The picture shows the bottom of one of the bottles with “York Nebr” shown. The winner was determined by who held the bottle with the name of the most distant City moulded into the bottom of the bottle. One of our Coffee Group participants brought in a 6-pack of Coca-Cola bottles this morning and told of a game he and his buddies played as teenagers while they drank their bottled Cokes.
