Santa Claus

Some of you told me about Santa Claus being a Coca-Cola invention, or at least the current look of him. I told you to check the poem posted in the department's blog (here) that describes Santa pretty much as we know him now.

I did some research and it turns out that Coca-Cola wasn't even the first soft drink to use Santa for an advertisement. White Rock Beverages used a red and white Santa before the 1920's. I guess it's just one more of those urban legends.


Merry Christmas Guys!
