#10 Coca Cola
Coca Cola is one of the most popular fizzy drinks in the world. The drink which is now known for its extremely high sugar content is also known for its famous red and white label, however its nothing like the earlier paper label that used to be used for coca cola which doesn’t even have a dash of red in sight.
#9 Fairy Washing Up Liquid
Today, the popular washing up liquid Fairy comes in clear bottles so that the bright colors can be seen and used to attract more buying. This wasn’t always the case however as can be seen in this image of one of the first Fairy bottles which is opaque and nowhere near as advertising as today’s bottle, being quite frankly plain.
#8 Cadburys
Cadburys are known worldwide for the purple packaging of their much adored chocolate. In 1907 when their first Cadbury dairy milk chocolate bar was launched, there was no purple. This image is a display of one of the first ever Cadbury bars and as can be seen the label in completely different to that of today.
#7 Fanta
Being completely different to the busy label that’s placed on the Fanta bottles of today, you could not have got a simpler label than what the Fanta label used to look like. With no color, and very little artistic decoration it’s a wonder that anyone wanted to buy it. They do say you eat with your eyes, does that include drink?
#6 Colgate
The Colgate label today is as inviting and exciting as it can get for toothpaste but when you take a look back at what it used to look like, it will leave you thankful for the toothpaste label we have today. ‘Dental cream’ in itself doesn’t sound too appetizing and neither does the looks of the old style label.
#5 Heinz Beans
The label on the Heinz bans tin really hasn’t changed all that much since they were first introduced in 1895. The main difference other than the newer labels being much more brightly colored is the sophistication of the label, arguably this Heinz beans label is much more sophisticated than the labels today.
#4 Pringles
The classic Pringles tub, complete with the mustached Pringle man and all the details you need to know about Pringles. True to the saying ‘once you pop you can’t stop’, this Pringle tube looks so inviting to anyone wanting a quick snack.
#3 Walkers
The Walkers crisp packet used to have a see through section, long gone are those days, probably so that you don’t see how much air is in the packet compared to crisps. Another big difference is the missing logo of today’s packet. Although many of the population would probably be a few pounds lighter had walkers crisps never had been invented, they do give that warm fuzzy feeling of hunger satisfaction, after the third packet.
#2 Ford
The Ford logo that is seen today (everywhere) is a simple blue and white motif. This was not the case for the first Ford logo, the retro feel oozes out of this black and white logo, and it becomes clear why it was changed to the simple yet sophisticated design of today.
#1 Apple
Needing no introduction as one of the world’s most famous brands, at first glance it’s hard to believe that that this would be a logo for the technology brand, Apple. The logo is completely different to the simple apple, design of today’s Apple logo.
