Knibbelbild

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The beverage manufacturer Coca-Cola described a rubber seal with a colored print on the inside as a gummy picture , which could be "pinched out" of the lid. The first series of milestones in traffic history with 48 motifs appeared in 1982 in German-speaking countries.

The marketing idea was supported by collective posters on which the motifs could be stuck. In the following years a few more series appeared, also in other countries. After answering a "gnawing" question, you could win remote-controlled planes and boats, Carrera and model trains.

Pepsi quickly copied the idea and used the slogan "Knibbel Amerika" to advertise its Foray through America series . In Spain, Pepsi released Knibbelbilder on the television series Dallas .

Instead of the gnawing pictures, there were later easily peelable bottle labels , the backs of which were printed, for example, with the German national football team of the European Championship in 1988 or record covers. Today there are in the covers coupon - code for an online music service .
