Things Go Better with Coke

myself a new shirt and white gloves, as the washable
pair are no longer very nice; I had my hair set and
my rather wild beard trimmed in the French style;
altogether I spent fourteen francs on the evening.
As a result I looked very fine and made a favorable
impression on myself. We drove there in a carriage
the expenses of which we shared. "R" was terribly
nervous, I quite calm with the help of a small dose
of cocaine.

Go Better with Coke" is so familiar to me that it took me a while to
realize that it's a very _old_ Coca-Cola slogan which many will perhaps
_not_ recognize.
It wasn't a very _good_ slogan and the jingle that went with it was
particularly wretched. And, alas, I have not fully forgotten it.
Something like this:
Things go better with Coca-Cola,
Things go better with Coke;
Life is much more fun when you're refreshed--
And Coke refreshes you best!
It's the refreshing-est!
Food goes better with,
Friends go better with,
Fun goes better with Coke;
The real live one
Puts extra fun
In you and everything you do--yes,
Things go better with Coca-Cola,
Things go better with Coke!
The heavy-handed way they work in both registered trademarks... the
questionable syllogism (a. Life is much more fun when you're refreshed;
b. Coke refreshes you best. ergo... c. drink Coke).
Oh, well. Anyone remember "Twenty-one great tobaccos make twenty
wonderful smokes?"

There was a variation on this which referred to Coke as "the pause
that refreshes," which was once morphed in a Mad magazine poem on a
tiger into something like, "unlike Coca Cola, his paws do not refresh
us."

An even earlier zippy slogan...
"Offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol"
(Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine)
"Nourishes, fortifies, refreshes"
~blurb for Vin Mariani (a coca wine)

beneficent effects of this Tonic Wine and has forwarded to Mr Mariani

Showing our age?! Hmmmm, I think I probably read
that slogan in the Fifth Edition of the Oxford
Dictionary of Quotations. Or maybe I picked it up
recently while viewing that hilarious "Classic
Commercials from the 50's and 60's" video. :-)
According to the Coca-Cola web site, "Things Go
Better with Coke" was introduced in 1963. Their
web site contains a page (which I've taken the
liberty to cut and paste below) describing the
evolution of their slogans since 1886.
Slogans for Coca-Cola
Throughout the years, the slogans used in
advertising for Coca-Cola have reflected not only
the brand, but the times. Slogans provide a simple,
direct way to communicate about Coca-Cola.
The 1906 slogan, "The Great National Temperance
Beverage," reflects a time when the society in the
United States was veering away from alcoholic
beverages, and Coca-Cola provided a nice
alternative.
Other slogans have concerned our sales figures, such
as "Three Million a Day" from 1917 or "Six Million a
Day" from 1925. In terms of drinks a day, that's a
vast difference from the one billion a day mark The
Coca-Cola Company passed in 1997.
Some slogans for Coca-Cola have concentrated on the
quality of the product, its refreshing taste, or
even its role in entertaining, as in 1948's "Where
There's Coke There's Hospitality."
In 1985, the introduction of a new taste of
Coca-Cola (commonly called new Coker) and the
reintroduction of Coca-Cola classic and the original
formula led to multiple slogans. 1985 featured
"America's Real Choice," while by 1986, two slogans
were used to differentiate the brands, with "Red,
White & You" for Coca-Cola classic and "Catch the
Wave" for Coca-Cola.
Some advertisements themselves rise to the level of
memorable slogans. The 1971 "Hilltop" ad featured a
song with the words "I'd Like to Buy the World a
Coke." Although that wasn't an actual slogan (the ad
in fact was part of the "It's the Real Thing"
campaign), the ad and song lyrics are still so well
known today that the lyrics are considered a slogan
to many.
In January 2003, latest slogan for Coca-Cola was
introduced -- "Coca-Cola... Real." The campaign (and
slogan in turn) reflects genuine, authentic moments
in life and the natural role Coca-Cola plays in
them.
Slogans for Coca-Cola -- 1886-present:

The Coca-Cola Company should live up to its promise [in 1990] to use
recycled plastic in its soda bottles, recycling advocates declared
Wednesday.
[...] The company decided not to use recycled plastic in the United
States because local market conditions were cost prohibitive. "But more
cost-effective technologies have been developing, technologies passing
U.S. Food and Drug Administration review," said Lance King, a network
campaigner.
~ CNN.com (July 30 1999 )
[This happened yet? Not sure what is meant by the *local market
conditions* but Coca-Cola uses plastic bottles with recycled content in
New Zealand, in Australia, and in several European countries. In my
State it is law that all disposable drink containers (glass plastic and
cardboard) have a 5 cent levy added which encourages recycling.]

It's not wholly redundant. Menthol is the most prominent of the aromatic
compounds in mint, but it contains others. How else could we distinguish
peppermint from spearmint?

Breasts are not parts of a person but lures slung around her neck, to
be kneaded and twisted like magic, putty, or mumbled and mouthed like
lolly ices.

The GI report on a USO dancing chorus was summed up in one crisp
sentence, "It's got tits on it." The girls hand't been sent four
thousand miles into the Pacific because they could dance -- only
because they had tits. If enough time had elapsed since you had
seen a tit, you might enjoy seeing a USO chorus. Otherwise, you
might as well play poker. But when a Marine or a sailor or a
soldier got back to Honolulu, he no longer had to watch the tits
bobbing on a USO chorus.... He could go to Mamie's Bull Ring and,
for a few seconds at least, he could revel in the biggest, most
luscious tits in the world. He could enjoy to the limit our whole
tit-culture: he could have tits in his hands, tits in his ears,
tits in his mouth. He could walk away from Mamie's surfeited, for
the moment, with tits.
