Pepsi-Cola painted on top of a Pschitt Perrier ad.
Find traces of Perrier bottles above the 'LA' and under the 'PE'
  Observe how the tricoloured circle is in fact a crown-cork with notches.
The more recent ads show just a flat circle segment.
  Vichy État used a similar crown cork for the shield of an armoured fighter.

  Vous savez combien on est?
or
Do you know with how many we are?

Nactalia uses an interesting mix of old and new technology: a painted wall with a digital display. The counter clicks at the French birth-frequency (0.007Hz).

FMT Médical featured an article about this Nactalia birth-clock. The text is in French and is accompanied with a picture of the same wall.

Ovomaltine - Pour tous ceux qui ont besoin de forces.
or Ovomaltine - For everybody needing (muscle) power.

Ovomaltine (born in 1904) was developped by the Swiss Albert Wander. His father Georg started the company Wander SA in 1865. Read more about the history at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovomaltine.

The brand certainly took a risk with this poster. What if the reader linked the uselessness of Sisyphus' task to the product? Junior copywriters should read the old myths.
Sister Borel had a similar problem with the bad typecasting of a tree (normally considered the good one) impersonating the bad guy (illness).
The same design flaws still happen: would you expect any good from a internet service provider named Pandora ? (www.pandora.be)

Schweppes - ananas   Schweppes depuis (since) 1783
The father of Schweppe(')s is Jean Jacob Schweppe. Born in Germany and living in Geneva he experimented in making sparkling water after the natural mineral waters from spas. Eventually, he succeeded and in 1783 (see detail) a company was founded.   In 1969 Schweppes Ltd merges with Cadbury Group Ltd to form Cadbury Schweppes plc.
