Vintage Coca-Cola Tin Sins

The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in Columbus, Georgia at a drugstore owned by John Pemberton, originally as a cocawine called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca in 1885. He may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a  European cocawine.  By the time of its 50th anniversary, the drink had reached the status of a national icon for the USA.

Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising – White Rock Beverages used Santa in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923 after first using him to sell mineral water in 1915. Before Santa Claus, however, Coca-Cola relied on images of smartly-dressed young women to sell its beverages. Coca-Cola’s first such advertisement appeared in 1895 and featured a young Bostonian actress named Hilda Clark as its spokesperson.  These retro soda pop signs are still available today
