Coca-cola Contour Bottle

The Coca-cola contour bottle was originally patented on Nov. 16, 1915, but it wasn't available to customers at retail until a year later. Nowadays, it's harder to find a true glass contour bottle on retails shelves as suppliers opt to have the less fragile aluminum and plastic (PET) containers. However, nothing tastes better than an ice-cold, fizzy Coca-cola straight from the original glass bottle!

Coca-cola Santa & Polar Bear

The Coca-cola Santa was created to get more people to drink soda in the colder months.


The polar bear was part of the 1993 'Always Coca-cola' campaign. It was introduced to launch a new advertising concept, animated story board commercials on TV.



Not only did the ideas work, but it etched two of the most popular icons in advertising history.

Things Go Better with Coke

THINGS GO BETTER WITH COKE


This was the slogan for Coca-cola in the 1960s. This was the first ad campaign that employed television, rather than print, as its principal medium. The company employed popular artists, among them: the Supremes, Aretha Franklin, the Moody Blues, and Jan & Dean.

Tastes Like Home

During the World War II, Coca Cola used a simple "Tastes Like Home" slogan. Simple yet very effective!

Science of Coke and Mentos

As a child I was amazed when a classmate dropped Mentos in a bottle of Coke and he got this huge fountain spray with all the foam coming out.

Only when I got older did I discover that there is a science to all of this.

Experiments in Mythbusters suggested the chemicals responsible for the reaction are gum arabic and gelatine in the sweets, and caffeine, potassium benzoate and aspartame in the Coke. But there have been no rigorous scientific studies of the reaction until now.



In layman's term, the prime factors that drive the fizzy plumes from Coke bottles: the roughness of the sweet and how fast it plummets to the bottle's base.
