Large antique thermometer advertising Royal Crown Cola (more recently known as "RC Cola.") Marked "A product of Nehi Corp." From the days when "taste-test" was probably a new concept and linguistic coinage. Indeed, RC used to be one of the most innovative companies in the beverage industry, introducing the first canned soda, the first caffeine-free soda, and the first 16-ounce soda. RC was also the first to stage nationwide taste tests. What more fitting way to evoke their innovative practice of evidence-based consumer testing than with branding on a working temperature measuring device!
