Bottle Socks
Description: Squirt was created by Herb Bishop in 1938. In 1941, a mascot named "Lil' Squirt" was created for marketing the product. Squirt became a popular soft drink in many parts of the country, especially the West and Southwest. In the 1950s, it became commonly used as a mixer in cocktails. Squirt is naturally flavored but contains less than 2% grapefruit juice. Like many other soft drinks, the packaging of Squirt has varied over the years. In 1983, Diet Squirt, the first soft drink in the United States to be sweetened with aspartame, was introduced. In the mid 1980s, a vitamin-C-enriched Diet Squirt Plus was briefly marketed. In the early 1990s, Squirt Sorbet, a frozen treat, was offered in Detroit area supermarkets.
Description: The artwork features a distorted skull enclosed within a glass bottle, creating a striking contrast between life, death, and nature. The skull has an exaggerated, cartoon-like appearance with oversized eyes, uneven facial features, and exposed teeth, giving it a playful yet eerie personality rather than a purely frightening look.
Description: A wonderfully strange vintage image labeled “Man in a Bottle,” featuring a tiny human figure seemingly enclosed inside an old glass bottle. Perfect for fans of antique curiosities, Victorian oddities, surreal imagery, strange history, cabinet-of-curiosity art, and unusual vintage illustrations with a mysterious sense of humor.
