Well, it was a mistake!
In 1870 two sons took over the business and decided to rebrand for an upcoming competition.
One son redesigned the bottle, the other the label. Neither consulted the other, they got a label too big for the bottle.
150 years later Angostura's oversized label is in every bar in the world.
