...one more for tonight then. If not, just say so... :-)

I'm new here, and I don't mean to offend anyone or violate forum norms in any way. So just let me know if I'm going overboard.

Vernor's Ginger Ale has been around for a long time, and to my knowledge is still distributed nationally. I have to say that I really love The Gnome...

Like your clocks.
Just a suggestion. You should post them all on the same thread instead of starting a new thread for each one. That way if someone searches clocks later on they will find them all in one place.

Just click "Switch to Full Reply Screen" to keep adding them.

Whistle Orange Soda was developed by the Vess Beverages Company in 1925, and had developed quite a cult following in terms of advertising memorabilia.

The beverage slogan - "Thirsty? Just Whistle!" - is one of the most catchy advertising pitches of my lifetime.

The Nesbitt's brand debuted in 1927, initially as part of the company's line of soda fountain product.

The Big Red, Limited company today licenses the brand to several small independent bottling companies.

The Red Rock Company was founded in 1885 by Lee Hagan and G. T. Dodd of Atlanta, Georgia.

By 1947, Red Rock products were bottled in 45 of the 47 U.S. states but by 1958, the company's success began to decline.

The formulas for Red Rock's carbonated beverage products managed to survive and are now owned by Sensient Technologies of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Cheer Up was produced by the Orange Smile Syrup Company of St. Louis, Missouri beginning in the late 1930s. The company also produced Buster Cola and Orange Smile Drink beverages.

The company produced Cheer Up with the advertising slogan, "Drink Cheer Up, Made Good for You". The company ceased beverage production in the early 1960s.

The O-So Beverage Company originally brewed out of Peoria, Illinois, but fell to the wayside after years of slowing sales.

The brand is now back on the market through its new distributor Orca Beverages, producing "old school" soda varieties such as Vanilla Butterscotch Root Beer, which is reportedly outstanding.
