Article #16: Vintage 1960's Simba Soda Bottle

 

This is our 16th article on the blog and in this one we are looking at this vintage Simba soda bottle from the 1960's. Simba was a sugar sweetened, lemon flavored citrus soft drink that was created by Coca Cola in 1968. The drink was researched extensively and test marketed in 1968. In 1969 the drink was introduced nationally but in 1972 it was withdrawn due to low sales. On the front of this bottle you have where it says Simba at the top and under that it points that it is a 10 ounce bottle and then in the middle you have an illustration of a lion. 

On the back of the bottle it says Simba at the top just like on the front and under that it points out that it was a product of Coca Cola. 

Here is a close up view of the back of the bottle.
