Lead with the specific: a 1947 Coca-Cola advertisement carrying the line "Happy hour... Have a Coke." The phrasing ties the soft drink to the end-of-workday pause, a moment when people gathered over a drink after hours. Postwar America was a period of rapid growth for Coca-Cola, which had by then become one of the most widely recognized brands in the country, and its advertising leaned heavily on everyday scenes of friendship and relaxation. Notice how the ad borrows the language of the cocktail hour, placing a bottle of Coke in the role that a glass of beer or wine would hold in other advertising of the time.
