Blue Skies : Part 1

Spur, The Cola Drink.This is one that could have made it. However, no one has ever heard that "things go better with Spur, the cola". It was actually possible to have purchased this product in 1943. It was reasonably priced and evidently came with it's own glass. You could get it and everything it promised. No Blue Skying here.

In 1971 scientists discovered the last known remnants, of this item, stuck to the bottom of an incinerator.
