Before the 1930s, people were struggling to capture a good image of Santa in their heads. Most people viewed him as a "tall gaunt man" with an elf. Little do people know, Coke helped shape the image of the Santa we see today. Haddon Sundblom was the artist. In today's world, Santa is seen as an iconic character for a special holiday; that holiday being Christmas! Without Santa, I couldn't imagine how Christmas would be viewed.

In the 1940s coke was making over 9 million sales a day, according this attached news article. I didn't think it was possible for them to still produce that much because technology was good back then, but I didn't think it was that good and consistent.
