Sign of Good Taste


To us Atlantans when we were children, our bedtime story was as thus: "On May 8, 1886, a pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton carried a jug of Coca-Cola® syrup to Jacobs’ Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta, where it was mixed with carbonated water and sold for five cents a glass."  And the rest is history!  In celebration of its 125th anniversary, Coca-Cola has just opened a new display on the history of its visual identity at the Design Museum in London.  A focus on the shape of the most unmistakable bottle ever designed is on display, while showcasing its evolution through the years.  Yet, if you aren't able to stop by the London exhibit, you can always view the World of Coca-Cola at Pemberton Place in the great ATL.

Note:  "Sign of Good Taste" was one of Coca-Cola's slogans from 1957.
