Where did they get those curves?
In 1913 Coca-Cola sponsored a competition for glass bottlers to design a bottle for Coke. As the Root glass company prepared to find a unique design, a worker was sent out to find information. Instead of bringing back pictures of the coca or the kola bean he brought a picture of the cocoa bean! This mistake now gives us the bulbous design of the Coke bottle we have today.
Unfortunately the exaggerated curves of the root glass company never made it to the shelves.
Even though the times have changed and we now use the plastic Coke bottles those bottles still have the traditional curvy shape.
