In early 1916, a committee composed of bottlers and Company
officials met to choose the bottle design. The Root version was the clear
winner and The Coca Cola Company and the Root Glass Company entered an
agreement to have six glass companies across the U.S. use the bottle shape. The
contract called for the bottles to be colored with “German Green” which was
later called “Georgia Green” in homage to the home state of The Coca-Cola
Company. It also called for the name of the city which was placing the glass
order to be embossed on the bottom of the bottle. These city names entertained
consumers for decades and led to kids to compare whose bottle was from further
away for generations. The weight of glass was to be no less than 14.5 ounces,
which when filled with the 6.5 ounces of Coca-Cola meant each bottle weighed
more than a pound! 1969 A
new graphic look for the Coca‑Cola system is introduced, featuring a
red-and-white color scheme and logo. The launch of the new slogan “It’s the
Real Thing” ushered in a new advertising look for brand Coke. Marketing
