The Evolution of the Coke Bottle

by Helen on July 10, 2011

Through the wonder that is Twitter I have just seen this image and felt it was worth sharing. I for one – love how the coke bottle has remained so consistent  over such a long period of time and would appear to not have changed a bit since 1986!  The one thing that is worth nothing however is that you seemed to get more liquid per bottle in 1899 than you do now!

I also find it interesting that the shaped changed right in the middle of the first World War in 1916 – i wonder if anyone can shed any light on why that was?  I find that very interesting though – what a time to be thinking about packaging!!
