Few soda ads from the war years put a soldier front and center the way this one does, and the "That Extra Something!" line was the tagline Coca-Cola leaned on during World War II. The company's wartime campaigns often showed servicemen and women enjoying a bottle at home or on leave, linking the drink to everyday American life while troops were overseas. Coca-Cola also struck a famous deal to supply bottles to troops abroad, so the brand's presence in these ads carried extra weight for readers at the time. Look closely at the illustration style, which reflects the commercial art of the 1940s.
