Thousands Of American Coca Cola Bottles That Are Without A Trade Mark
During World War11 American troops were based in the tropical islands of Vanuatu, (New Hebrides). They left behind thousands of pieces of broken 'No Trade-Mark Coca Cola bottles.' In her tropical garden, the well known artist, Faith Hodder, has created an interesting a 'no trade mark' Coca Cola corner.
Around 100,000 American troops arrived on Santo, one of the largest tropical islands in Vanuatu. On the main island Efate, another 25, 000 troops were also based. The American troops had the task of halting the forward move of the Japanese down through the chain of the islands of the South Pacific.
The remains of an American World War11 downed aircraft is till visible outside the Aero Club at Port Vila. "Shortly after the pilot had dropped wrapped lollies from a cockpit to some village children, the American aircraft crashed into a tree," says Wallace Andre, 74 year old witness to the accident.
With several bottles being drunk per person per day, the consumption of Coca Cola quickly outstripped the supply, being consumed every day. In an effort to meet this, the Americans shipped empty bottles out to Vanuatu, where they were filled were kept supplied from the Vanuatu factory. However, for some unknown reason, the majority of the bottles however, had no trademark. This has left the island of Vanuatu with the unique phenomenon of thousands of pieces of no trademark Coca Cola bottles.
Just as quickly as the Americans appeared, they suddenly disappeared. The Coca Cola factory also disappeared with the troops. There were aborted attempts at trying to burn some of the thousands of Coca Cola bottles.
Vanuatu is the 'Must See' travel adventure destination of the South Pacific, Coca cola.
