Friends gather around a bottle of Coca-Cola in this ad, which sells the drink less as a product than as a small moment of company. The slogan "The pause that refreshes" was the heart of Coca-Cola's advertising for decades, and campaigns like this one pictured the soft drink as a reason to stop, sit down and talk. Coca-Cola had been marketed in the United States since the late 1880s, and by the mid-twentieth century its ads were a familiar part of magazines, billboards and radio, shaping how ordinary Americans thought about leisure and social life.
