"Drink Coca-Cola
Delicious and refreshing
You can't think of 'delicious' of 'refreshing' without thinking of Coca-Cola.
You can't drink Coca-Cola without being delighted and refreshed.
The taste is the test of Coca-Cola quality - so clearly distinguishes it from imitations that you cannot be deceived.
Demand the genuine by full name - nicknames encourage substitution.

Pepsi, 1955
"Figures Show the modern taste is for light refreshment
One look at this modern hostess's silhouette and you can just about guess the kind of thing she keeps in that refrigerator.
You'd know it must be stocked with the lighter, less filling foods that make up the diet of the world's most attractive people today.
That's how they keep those slender waistlines. How they stay so young-looking year after year. Why they feel so good, so fit for all the activities, all the fun modern living has to offer.
And it is to suit their modern taste that today's Pepsi-Cola is reduced in calories. Never heavy, never too sweet, it refreshes without filling.
Have a Pepsi, the modern, the light refreshment."
