A little bit of History:

Coca-Cola

In the early days of Coca-Cola, the company used clear glass bottles to hold the famous drink. However, in 1915, Coca-Cola switched to green glass bottles in an attempt to differentiate itself from competitors and protect the drink from sunlight, which could spoil its flavor. The switch to green bottles was a big success and many customers associated the unique shade with the Coca-Cola brand. In fact, the company trademarked the color “Coca-Cola green” in the 1940s to prevent other soft drink companies from using it.

 

In 1886, a bottle of Coke cost a nickel. It was also a nickel in 1900, 1915 and 1930. In fact, 70 years after the first Coke was sold, you could still buy a bottle for a nickel.

 

The cost of a can of Coca-Cola in 1960 was $0.10

 

In the early 1980's A 16 oz glass bottle was 25 cents. There was a 10 cent deposit on the bottle, so you had to bring in an empty or the Coke cost 35 cents.

 

 

Sun Crest

Sun Crest was introduced by the National NuGrape Company of Atlanta, Georgia in 1938 as a flavor line, and sister brand to NuGrape, 2-Way lemon-lime, and Kickapoo Joy Juice. Sun Crest was acquired along with NuGrape in 1968 by The Moxie Company (renamed Moxie-Monarch-NuGrape Company and later Monarch Beverage Company). Hedinger Brands, LLC purchased the Sun Crest brand from Monarch in 2007, along with Dad's Root Beer, Bubble Up, and Dr. Wells brands and licensed the brand to The Dad's Root Beer Company, LLC. The Dad's Root Beer Company headquarters is located in Jasper, Indiana.
