Some years back, while living in an apartment, I planted a small balcony garden. I grew herbs and a few vegetables and just for show, I grew a giant sunflower in a terracotta pot. It was awesome. Its face followed the sun all day and at night it slowly turned it’s head towards the light from the living room.
I saved some seeds from that sunflower and planted them this spring, some seven years after harvesting them, not knowing if they would sprout, after all this time. One did and stands proudly at over seven feet tall.
Sunflowers are magical and this one is extra so. My Dad was still alive back then and he stood on the balcony and admired the original plant. This Sunflower is a time capsule for me. I’m sentimental that way.

This is the time for real refreshment- ice cold Coca-Cola.
Coke gives a lift to your spirits…
a boost to your energy…
a big, bold, unmistakable taste.
In Short:
Coca-Cola is more than an ordinary soft drink.
Things go better with Coke.
Burger Hot. Coca-Cola Cold.
Taste Bold, refreshing, never too sweet.
Ummm! Burger never better.
Things go better with Coke.

Here is the promised lunch ad from the 60’s (click picture to enlarge):
Ad: What’s so hot about lunch? Ice cold Coca-Cola, of course. It has the taste you never get tired of. Always refreshing. That’s why things go better wth Coke after Coke after Coke.
It’s been a while since I posted any of the ads from the 60’s. Here is a classic American Soda Fountain treat from the 60’s, but check in tomorrow at lunch time and I’ll post the classic American lunch - the kind you used to order when you sat at the counter at Woolworth’s way back when.
Ad: Things go better with Coke after Coke after Coke. With or without, it’s always refreshing. Because ice cold Coca-Cola has the taste you never get tired of. (Click on photo to enlarge).
Refreshing new feeling! Coca-Cola, crisp and cold, with the spirited taste that’s never too sweet. New fun way to enjoy the same! With berries, cherries, mint and lime…captured in ice!
I’ll be trying to catch up with emails and postings this week. For now, here is another Coke ad from the summer of 1965. Click on the picture to see a larger view:
Summer’s the time when you need something more than a soft drink - so reach for ice cold Coca-Cola, and lots of it. Nothing soft about the taste of Coke… lifts your spirits - boosts your energy. Pick up a carton tomorrow - and for extra fun, take more than one.
