During World War II American GIs drank Coca Cola all over the world. It had also been a very popular soft drink in Nazi Germany, well advertised everywhere and widely consumed. As various boycotts were put in place against Germany by Jewish organizations and other activists, Germans sought out alternatives rather than consuming products they saw as or considered “foreign.” Coca Cola was one of them.
Afri Cola was a direct Coca Cola knock-off. The bottle was heavily molded in the fashion of a Coke bottle and the two-part name and logo were reminiscent of Coke. They even sold it for consumption in Coke “shaped” glasses. The trademark symbol was a palm tree. The description of the contents and the trade mark protection data on the bottle was copied verbatim from a Coca Cola bottle.
Perhaps the boldest aspect of Afri Cola marketing was their well-known German slogan: “.... auch hier bekommen Sie Afri Cola - gut ... und deutsch!” (You can also get Afri Cola here - it’s good and it’s German!).
What we offer here is an original, UNUSED Third Reich note pad advertising Afri Cola. It measures 2-3/8 x 5-1/2 inches and still has all the original sheets of note paper attached to the cardboard back. Good condition, the paper is slightly yellow .
