Thoroughly gross and yet oddly fascinating this is a full bottle of Yoo Hoo from 1959 with the Tony Kubek bottlecap still attached at the top. The bottle itself is in fantastic condition with some patina marring the bottlecap. What's inside the bottle is another thing entirely. If you've long wondered what would happen to Yoo Hoo if it was left alone for 65 years you have your answer. Chocolate stuff has congealed at the bottom and top of the bottle with yellowish liquid inbetween. Yoo Hoo was an early supporter of Major League Baseball using Yogi Berra (who famously had an ownership interest in the company) and other players as endorsers and advertising with a variety of teams. An interesting display piece with early Yoo-Hoo logo graphics.
