OT: Coca-cola History of bottle and CBD oil

A little local Terre Haute history.

By 1913, those involved in the Coca-Cola Company saw the need for a distinctive package in order to fight imitators. Ben Thomas, one of the original patent bottlers, noted that "we need a bottle which a person can recognize as a Coca-Cola bottle when he feels it in the dark.?

As a result of some inaccurate research by the team at Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, a bottle was designed that resembled the cacao bean, the source of chocolate instead of the coca bean. Nonetheless, the Root Glass Company bested eight other competitors at a meeting of the seven bottlers in 1916.

Also heard on news where coca cola is thinking of adding CBD oil

You can read article below.

Did coca-cola at one time contain Cocaine?
Fact check.

The local bmv has the coca cola story on the wall. Bet I read it a hundred time while waiting. I read somewhere that the germans invented the bottle with the small neck so if they knocked over their beer it would not pour out real fast.
 
Here's a sign showing some, not all, of the various Coke bottle transmogrifications. I also show the big green bottle from the 60s and 70s, along with two straight-sided bottles from who knows when. The center bottle does not have the raised Coke logo on its shoulder, but it does have two stars there (for Texas, I presume). Raised letters around the bottom of the bottle say, "Coca-Cola Bottling Co., San Angelo, Texas".

Do you remember back in the late 60s??? The coke company had a big contest to find rare bottles in circulation. I don't remember the results but they had plants from all over the place that they were looking for. I know that a5 one time almost any decent size city had its own coke bottling plant and their bottles had tha raised name embossed on the bottle.
 
The first bottle on the tin sign is incomplete.
They had a wire bail that went down to the main body (via the neck) with a rubber washer on the end.
Bail and washer was down as it was filled, then pulled up to seal via carbonation pressure and bail friction.
To open you held the bottle and slapped the bail down flush which caused a pop.
And so we have terms "bottles of pop" and "pop bottles".

When I worked at Doan and Decker Ford in Terre Haute, the whole crew (about 18 of us) would put a dollar each on the parts counter in a pile. We would then each put a quarter in the coke machine and pull out a 8 OZ bottle. The person that pulled the bottle that had the farthest away production city won the bucks. We often used a map to assess the winner. Oh the fun. Jim
 
I worked part time at Carney tire while in college. I think Carney's may have undercoated new cars for Doan and Decker.
