Funko Pop!: Coke – Coca-Cola Bottle Cap

Product Description

Who created the legendary Coke bottle ? – In Terre Haute, Indiana, the Root Glass Company received the brief and had a meeting to begin to work on their design. The Root team was composed of C.J and William Root, Alexander Samuelson, Earl Dean and Clyde Edwards. These men still hold the signature’s that are on the patents even to this day. The patent was for the “coke-bottle” shape of the bottle which allows the soda to remain carbonated longer.

Product Highlights

• Coca Cola, the first bottle (1899) was produced in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Model “Hutchinson” with metal cap. Coca-Cola, contour bottle prototype (1915) never made it to production: its middle diameter was larger than its base, making it unstable on conveyor belts.
• Cork was phased out as a sealant in the 1960s, in favor of—you guessed it—plastic. And glass bottles have all but been phased out, in favor of plastic ones with caps that often have promotional ads printed on the inside. The more bottles you buy, the better your chances to win.
