Funny: Crap Dogs
OK, let me just point out that I personally love dogs and I wouldn't really call any dog a crap dog even if I might think MUCH less of some dogs...

Vintage Beverage: Champis
 |
| From Farbror Sid |
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.

Mer, Merry, Festis, Apotekarnes, Pommac

Cartoon: Rhapsody of Steel
Rhapsody of Steel
In this post from January ASIFA said: "Today we scanned a read-along storybook adaptation of John Sutherland's industrial film, Rhapsody of Steel (1959). Sutherland's studio was very influential in the mid-1950s, employing some of the best designers in the business. This film is no exception."
There is also a QuickTime link in the post!

Ephemera: Plonk!
Even more Swedish Soft Drink Labels?! Yep, you bet! How do you like these beauties? I've tried - not very easy - translating the Swedish text from the site where they were found:
"Sound effects soft drinks. These four spectacular soft drinks were on the market in 1985-1986. They were soon to be criticized for containing questionable chemical substances... (!!)
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.
