Special Retro Valentine’s Day Ad: Coca-Cola, 1950

Believe it or not, giving your crush or classmate a commercialized Valentine’s Day card is not a newfound notion. This tradition has been around, well, nearly as long as Coca-Cola has. No Valentine? No worries. A can of Coke will make you feel all bubbly inside.

FUN FACT: In 1950, Coca-Cola was the first commercial product to ever appear on the cover of Time. The cover was originally supposed to have an image of Robert Woodruff, the president of the company at the time. However, he refused because he believed the brand itself was more important and therefore should be represented instead. (Source: Coca-Cola Company website)
