Royal Crown, RC, has hundreds of commemorative bottles. Each one celebrates events in our lives.
For those who may be interested in the history of RC. In the early 1900's, Claude Hatcher ran a grocery store in Columbus, Georgia. He sold lots of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola. Because of his high sales, he wanted a discount from the Coca Cola salesman. He refused, so Claude said "you've sold your last bottle of Coca Cola here". Mr. Hatcher developed first, a ginger ale in 1905, and then Chero-Cola. Coca Cola sued, and he had to take the word "Cola" out of the name, so Chero sales plummeted.
In 1924, the name was changed to Nehi, after producing some flavors, called Nehi, Claude'sfavoritefruit flavors. The company did very well with Nehi flavors, soon outselling Chero Cola. In 1930, they were selling close to 4 million cases a year. However, the Great Depression was almost disaster for the company, as they only sold 1 million cases in 1933. In the late 1940's Chero-Cola formula was reformulated and the new name was RC Cola and Diet Rite.
