Iconic Coca-Cola Bottle Inspired by a Visit to the Terre Haute Library


Iconic Coca-Cola bottle is 96 and still a looker. (Indianapolis Star, 11/16/2011)

ExcerptThe winning design came from Root Glass Co. worker Earl Dean. Inspired by a photo of a cocoa pod he found at the local library, Dean created a prototype with vertical ribs and a midsection that swelled larger than the bottle's base before narrowing into the neck -- which Dean envisioned as the stem of a cocoa pod.  [Photo of Earl Dean from Wikipedia.]

Yeah, me too.  I wondered what a cocoa pod looks like.
