Deep Cola: An early attempt at suggestive advertising. The beginnings of cola eroticism are obscure, but by
the 1950s post cards like this led to an explosion in popular interest.Later post cards, from places like Tijuana and Manila, show an amazing versatility of technique that marked the end of its usefulness in soft drink
advertising. Caption: "Thirsty anyone? Mermaids drink RC during the daily underwater performances in the crystal-clear water of Weeki Wachee Spring, on the
West Coast of Florida."Credits: Florida Natural Color, Miami, FL |
