I saw one of my friends drinking this soda at school once. I gotta buy some!

Welch's sort of pioneered the push-top can, so drinkers wouldn't just throw the tab on the ground to reduce littering. Also, from 1973, Welch jelly and jam jars with Archie cartoons glazed on (five different), similar to the Flintstone series from 1966.

Welch Grape Company began around 1870, now owned by Dr. Pepper. Grape soda was first marketed in 1974. From the prime time cartoon vault: A complete "Flintstones" episode over ABC (3/4/65) with sponsor tags with Fred, plus commercials for Welchade and Welch's Jelly with Fred, Wilma and Pebbles. Welch's ran fewer commercials in the final season (1965-66) of "Flintstones" after ABC announced that the show would be cancelled.

Around the time Welch's marketed carbonated drink in a can, a second set of six jam/jelly jar/glasses with the Archie gang (1973) was offered by mail order, packed in a display box (jars empty). Cartoons on the glasses and a comic book ad were drawn by longtime artist Al Hartley, who began drawing comics around 1946. Hartley came to Archie Comics in 1965. A man with strong Christian beliefs, he began phasing in references to his beliefs within the Archie gang, using the Betty character as a focal point. By 1972, the Archie editors told Hartley to lay off the religion, but granted him free license to draw and publish Archie in a series of moderately preachy Christian comic books under the Spire brand. Twelve different comics published between 1972 and 1984.
