{1923:
Did you know that the six-pack carrier, though common today, was an innovation developed by the Coca-Cola system in 1923? It was created to encourage people to take contour bottles of Coca-Cola home and drink it more often with the expanded availability of home refrigeration.
December 25, 1923:
The patent on the contour (also called hobbleskirt) bottle was renewed for first time in 1923. This particular mold design for the bottle was patented in the U.S. Patent Office and released in the publication of that office, Official Gazette, on Dec. 25, 1923. This date was a coincidence, in that the publication was issued every Tuesday, and in 1923 Christmas Day fell on Tuesday. All contour bottles produced between late 1923 and 1937 carried the Christmas day patent imprint. Due to the date, this bottle is referred to as the "Christmas Bottle." ]
