Vintage Beverage: Merry
 |
| From Martin Klasch |
Merry was a Swedish soft drink
which was sold from 1963 (1964 nationwide). Its original flavor was lemon/lime, in other words it was a soft drink similar to 7up and Sprite, perhaps a just bit less sweet. Using aggressive market strategies, targeting the adult population, it pretty quickly became a popular product. The slogan was "Merry - med fullvuxen smak" (Merry - with mature taste).
It was cool and hip to drink Merry. For many people growing up in Sweden in the 60s Merry still has a place in their hearts and memories. That's why I think it's a bit strange that it's so hard finding information about the drink on the Internet. I'm pretty sure, though, that Merry survived the 70s but perhaps just barely. My own memories of Merry are not from the time of this ad - I was busy being born around then - but from, I guess, the second half of the 70s. I remember the Merry bottles coming in a completely different shape - they were short and stout and they had an extra large opening. What are your memories or rather vad minns du av Merry?
Just as I was about to wrap this post up I found a couple of things. First one promotional photo showing bottles in three sizes. I found it at Skånes Näringslivsarkiv.
 |
| From Skånes Näringslivsarkiv |
Secondly I found (here) a message - in Swedish of course - from the company Bjäre Industrier AB to its workers regarding the new product Merry. The year was 1963.

Swedish shoe ad from 1967.
The copy (text) is pretty good too and it ought to be translated but don't feel I'd do it justice.
"Han med sug i blicken och spänst i sin gång. Kör alltid med Master. Eleganta skor i modern design. Bekväma. Som gjorda att gå på i. Som nu - vid en stilla drink fram på småtimmarna. Då är det skönt med Master för stressade agentfötter."
Google translate wanted to have a go:
"He suck in the eyes and resilience of its time. Run by the Master. Stylish shoes in modern design. Comfortable. As made to go on in. As now - at a quiet drink until the small hours. When is it good with Master of stressful agent feet."
Google translate is a good thing but it has its limitations. :D
If anyone else want to have a go at the translation please be my guest!

Poster Art: Every Which Way But Loose
 |
| From Martin Klasch |
I've been editing a less than perfect copy of Bob Peak's* poster for "Every Which Way But Loose" **. I have basically cut this section out, redrawing parts of it, tidying it up and added a bit of shadow hopefully creating a little more 3D effect. I'm no pro so I'm reasonably happy with the result considering what I had to work with. It's good enough to print on a t-shirt for a friend (a big Clint fan) - this which was my objective all along.

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
The original uploader Farbror Sid is not sure what Zappa album this poster, by Dave McMacken, came with. Anybody? I've been looking around on the web for a while and I can't find this poster or any references to it. Maybe it's very rare in real life too. I seems it's a Mothers (of Invention?) jubilee and I'm counting six candles. Frankie himself says "established in 1964" and in 1969 he disbanded the original Mothers of Invention and formed the Mothers...
Anybody?

Vintage Beverage: Loranga
Mr LorangaLoranga
is of the classic Swedish soft drinks introduced in the 50s that is still on the market. It used to be produced by Sandwalls ångbryggeri in Borås (I'm not sure if it was the first and only brewery to make Loranga but that would be my guess). Sandwalls brewery was bought and put to rest in the 70s/early 80s and Loranga has since been made by other brewerys. The card above is Mr Loranga in a set of Sandwalls happy families cards. Meet the whole family and the other charming Sandwalls families here.
PS. Yep, I've posted Sandwalls happy families before. It's worth it. Enjoy!

Music: Jorge Ben
"Jorge Ben Jor (born 1942 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian popular musician. His characteristic style fuses samba, funk, and rock into samba-rock, with lyrics that blend humor and satire with often esoteric subject matter."
"In 1963, Jorge came on stage and sang "Mas Que Nada" (or "no way") to a small crowd that happened to include an executive from the recording company, Philips. One week later, Jorge Ben's first disc was launched."
"The hybrid rhythms that Jorge employed brought him some problems at the start of his career, when Brazilian music was split between the rockier sounds of the Jovem Guarda and traditional samba with its complex lyrics. But as that phase in Brazilian pop music history passed, and the entire world became captivated by bossa nova, Jorge rose to prominence."

Champis
is a Swedish soft drink created by Robert Roberts in 1910. It was initially marketed under different name but since 1918 it has been sold as Champis. Along with the soft drinks Sockerdricka, Citronil, Pomril and Pommac, Champis is one in the first generation of Swedish soft drinks. The recipe is a well-kept secret by the way.

Flämt! - Came in light blue and light green design and tasted smågodis. (various kinds of candy with a sometimes diffuse flavor to it)
Gulp! - With the taste of sega bananer (banana flavored foamy candy) and had an intense yellow translucent color.
Plonk! (!!) - Perhaps the least known of the quartet with a taste of godiskulor (ie, blueberries - and boysenberries candy flavourings)
Wroom! - Hallongelé (Raspberry jelly candy) colored beverage with the taste of ... raspberry jelly candy.
The images and the original Swedish text are found at den nostalgiska läsksidan via the (sometimes) very kind gåsmannen who also recommended this label collector site.

"The bonafide star of MONDO TOPLESS is Babette Bardot, a Swedish-French stripper who claimed she was a distant cousin of Babette Bardot and would star as...er...Babette, the scene-stealing French harlot in COMMON LAW CABIN! The mysterious blonde bombshell reportedly also had an affair with Russ in-between films! She mangles the English language like nobody's business, but is never less than captivating in both films. You simply cannot take your eyes off this giantess with the eye-popping figure, and unfortunately she made only one other film (I, MARQUIS DE SADE) before disappearing off the face of the earth." - Mondo Topless review at www.dvddrive-in.com
