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.

“It was the cooling hour, just when the rounded Red sun sinks down behind the azure hill, Which then seems as if the whole earth is bounded, Circling all nature, hush'd, and dim, and still, With the far mountain-crescent half surrounded On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill Upon the other, and the rosy sky With one star sparkling through it like an eye.”
Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron) Quotes
Sunset ending a very hot day in Montague Provincial Park, Galiano Island, BC.
It was midday in Jaflong Sylhet near the Indian border. One of the guys started spaying water on the common ground of the village to settle the dust. It was late winter and days were getting warmer. This kid was eying on the water for a while and jumped directly into it when his mother got inside the house. After few minutes in the water, he totally forgot about his mom. He started screaming with joy and so was his mother for wetting his shirt.
