Freshthings Drink Coca-Cola In Bottles yo-yo (Type X, aka modern butterfly), in a butterfly configuration with a plastic body manufactured to look like the vintage green-tinted bottle glass used by Coca-Cola for 70 years.
The iconic green-tinted Coca-Cola bottles have an interesting history. The green color, often referred to as Georgia Green, was a result of the minerals, particularly copper and iron, found in the sand used by the Root Glass Company in Terre Haute, Indiana. This company won a design competition held by Coca-Cola in 1915 to create a distinctive bottle that would stand out from its competitors.
The green tint was not initially intentional but became a trademark feature of the Coca-Cola bottle. These green bottles were used from 1915 until around 1985, when Coca-Cola began transitioning to clear glass and plastic bottles to modernize their look.
From yoyostorerewind.com:
"Official Coca-Cola yo-yo with wing shape for competition.
This is the official yo-yo of the Coca-Cola Company. This yo-yo is designed for beginners and is designed for tug-response play. It can do more tricks than the traditional Coca-Cola yo-yo, and can be further customized into an intermediate binding yo-yo by converting it to a full size C bearing (sold separately).
The rim is thicker and slightly slimmer in width, giving the yo-yo a dependable feel with strong rotational force even when thrown lightly. It is also highly rigid, making it a good yo-yo to carry around easily and use as an everyday carry.
Of course, you can also carry it in your bag and make a topic of conversation with people of the Coca-Cola yo-yo boom generation. It is a yo-yo that you will want to take with you everywhere and play with anywhere."
