nutri-cola

[JohnN]

Anyone know anything about nutri-cola? I found this bottle a long time ago, and ever since digging it out of its box, it has been my favorite. Mainly because of its odd shape. It is all debossed, machine made, 6 fl oz, design pat. pend d-140464, from Philadelphia. I will try to get better pictures if needed. Correction: Just the nutri-cola is debossed, everything else is regular embossing.

I don't know how you find this stuff. I tried searching for it, but never found that. I see they were also involved in a trademark lawsuit with Coca Cola. Coke lawsuit Now I know how to use Google Books search, which I did not really even know about. Thanks.
