Quikyby ~yankeedog

Who couldn't use a Quiky every now and then? It's refreshing and Never Tires the Taste!

Quiky was a soft drink that first appeared in the 1940's. It was a Grapefruit & Lemon soda whose advertising slogan in the 1960's was "Tart 'n Tangy". The brand seems to have disappeared from the softdrink wars in the 1960's. I'm guessing that this might be a 1950's ad.

This ad was on a building next to the 31st Street Bridge in Pittsburgh and was recently painted over.

I remember seeing many ghost ads growing up, especially at times if a building was torn down an ad would be exposed on the wall of the building that was still standing next door. Covered up when that building was built years before.

I remember many old ads that came to light once again that way, I wish that I had a camera then, for they are long gone now.

Thanks for taking the time to capture what's left Don.

It's funny, unless you are aware of them, they blend into the fabric. There was one in Springdale, PA that drove by thousands of times and never noticed it, then one day I was sitting at a traffic light and there it was!

Don't know Quiky, but it should be time for a "retrolution"

Nice find

Thanks! I think Coke owns the formula and bottling rights, so anything is possible.

Another interesting ad of a product that has gone extinct.
