Much Ado about NOTHING
My wife collects antique bottles, including soda-pop bottles from bygone eras. Some of the names of defunct bottlers are evocative of summers past:
Minck's Better Beverages -- "A Sparkling Carbonated Beverage -- Triple Filtered Through Ultra-Violet Rays" (Brooklyn, NY)M.H. Myers -- "For three generations, beverages of quality" (New York, NY)Cheer Up (brand) -- "A Delightful Drink -- A Real Super-Charged Beverage -- For Hospital, Home, and General Use" (Morristown, NJ)Hoffman Pale Dry Ginger Ale -- "Extra Dry" (Newark, NJ)Skipper (brand) Beverages -- "Soda-Licious -- It's Fun to Drink" (Pittsburgh, PA)Manhattan Beverages -- "The Sign of Quality" (Woonsocket, R.I.)Names like "Coke" and "Pepsi" just don't have the same ring.
Ultra-violet rays?
