The contour of the Coca Cola bottle was patented in 1915 by The Root Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. (I remember that there was a Root's Department Store in downtown Terre Haute. Wonder if it was part of the same company?) Originally the bottles were 6 1/2 ounces in size. I'm old enough to remember that you could get them in the vending machine for 5 cents. (Seriously?) In 1955, the King Size 12 ounce bottles were introduced, as well as 10 ounce sized bottles as well. The King Size bottles were nearly double the size of the originals. And we have moved beyond that to the 32 and 64 ounce cups that you can get in a variety of convenience stores. The bigger cups ensure that one makes more bathroom stops as we travel down the road. Twelve ounce cans became available 5 years later.

I suspect that this is recreated sign rather than an original in Fort Collins, Colorado. But it did make me wonder about "King Size."
