Here's the story behind "Sprite Boy", the name of the pixie in Coke commercials of the 40's and early '50's: Coca-Cola’s Sprite Boy During the ’40s and ’50s, The Coca-Cola Company used a lively little character in its advertising. Sprite Boy was created by the company’s staff artist, Haddon Sundblom. Sprite Boy was an elf and first appeared in a 1942 ad that introduced the name “Coke”. The purpose of the ad was to help consumers identify the Coke with their familiar, favorite Coca-Cola.

His name is the Sprite Boy. Originally drawn by Disney he was deemed too fancy and another artist came up with this look

[@karenbecker7978]

This "Sprite Boy" image is something that even today is seen. There was a sheet metal building down the street from us that use to be a grocery store. On the side was painted a Coke Sprite Boy! The image was painted a long time ago because it was very faided. We even have a building in the neighboring county that has it painted on the wall of the historic downtown area. I always found the Sprite Boy very interesting to watch and look at. I even have a vintage temometer with his image on it.

[@rockeruss555]

[@MegaTrailerparkboys]

[@themetalist1893]

I didn’t think that the cap on his head was a hat, I thought I was morphed into his head

[@minka4793]

I Love How The Bottle Of Ice Cold Cocoa Cola Looking Kid/w Cocoa Cola Cap!

[@cards0486]

I was born in 1951. Coca Cola was always part of my life. I don’t know what year SPRITE came along, and I didn’t notice the little ‘elf guy’ with the bottle cap hat. But it was years before I ever heard/read his name. So, finally, we knew where ‘Sprite’ came from for a name of a drink.

0:12 : Warning !!! Jumpscare.

[@mysticx0]

exactly. :) and the little guy was rewarded by the company in the 60's with a drink named after him: Sprite!

[@ellenmeyerorcutt4589]

Those were the days

[@guytheguy18]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh the 50s

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

Back in the times when 'real' cane sugar was in coke, not that high fructose corn crap that is used for sugar.

[@ne0nZchr0me]

And don't forget the coke co-caine too!

[@samdan12_]

i have a sign with him

[@handinside]

Looks more like an elderly woman than a child.

[@Recroomsniperpro]

He scared me that I won’t drink coke ever again

[@oghond]

Kayoni (the Sprite Boy): “WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!“

[@seansvoice]

His name was "Sprite Boy."

[@fromthesidelines]

"Sprite" became Coke's mascot in the early '40s; I'd say this ad is from around 1952.

[@yassinsover]

Actually, it's from 1958

[@yassinsover]

Also, it seems a little off for 1952, definently 1958, also the music and animation is also late 50s too

[@HitachiTRQ-225]

He was called the Coca-Cola Sprite, his name inspired the Sprite drink

[@ferociousgumby]

Thanks for ruining it with that gigantic title. We KNOW who you are, OK? How can we forget?

[@conandaisy3225]

Nuka cola ad

[@karelltulod3079]

I LOVE COCA COLA

[@MartenFerret]

Drink Coke, save a polar bear.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

Back then when colas had 'real' sugar in before being replaced with HFCS in the '70s and '80s.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

And artificial sweeteners.

[@seansvoice]

In Texas, we get Mexican Coca-Cola which is as close to the unique taste of vintage Coke in 6.5 ounce bottles as you can get without a flux capacitor.

[@BLDUBMUSIC]

i wanted to die watching this minute long commercial

[@sharonrobinson7992]

Coca classic u can't beat the real thing😘

[@Josh-le6lu]

[@hebneh]

His real name is the Sprite, not "the kid with the Coke Cap Hat" or "the kid with the Coca-Cola Bottle Cap Hat".

[@The_Str4nger]

[@AlexDechnik]

[@umbsix]

That mascot was scary...

[@oghond]

Kayoni: *giggles* Scary? Are you *sure* about that? (Kayoni is the name I gave to the Sprite Boy.)

[@MartenFerret]

I don't really know; I was being facetious. :)

[@FredMelin]

[@ms255]

There's nothing like a Coca-Cola, nothing like a Coke. Except a fucking Pepsi.

[@unclealand]

Goddamn! KZbin culls names and products from my Facebook messages and loads horseshit posts like this fuking Coca Cola ad onto my Home Page “recommendations.” It’s totally shitty.
