The judges have selected "Yes,Stanley, Coca-Cola does refresh us on hot days like today. But taking off your mother's mink coat might help a bit too" as the winner. It was posted by multiple winner Ray.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in the caption contests. We are going to move from the Friday Fun posts to a new feature each Friday called Spotlight on the World of Coca-Cola. Each Friday, we will highlight one of the items we have on display at our attraction in Atlanta. Be sure to come back tomorrow to see this new initiative. We hope you will enjoy it.

The Roaring Twenties and Coca-Cola

John Held, Jr. was an artist and cartoonist who became famous for his illustrations of American society in the 1920s. He was a regular contributor to such magazines as Life, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar.Many of his drawings depicted collegiate life  in the Jazz Age, including this 1926 advertisement for Coca-Cola.

Your challenge is to create a witty caption for the artwork by 5pm on June 10. A winner will be announced on June 11. I look forward to seeing your entries.

Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola

One of my colleagues, the archivist at Delta Airlines, posted a story earlier this week about how Coke was first served on Delta flights. Attached is a link to that story:

Unfortunately, for the flight attendants, those small buckets did not last long. By 1941, stainless steel carriers were placed on all flights. Loaded with filled bottles, packed in ice, those carriers must have proven to be quite a challenge for women whose height could not excedd five foot, five inches and whose weight could not exceed 120 pounds. According to an article in one of our internal publications, the women needed to have the following qualities:"Complexion must be clear, teeth good, and physical condition perfect.
