The old, but forever young boys Perle & Bruse are still alive and well.
In 1934, the commercial artist Carl Johan Skauge was commissioned to create an advertising character as Hansa Brewery was starting up their soda production. And from 1935 and for many years the two boys were epitome of all soda from Hansa. The advertising figures Pearl & Bruse was constantly reminding people in the western parts of Norway of Hansa’s sodas.
Pearl & Bruse is currently Hansa traditional kids soda. Through various activities and gimmicks Pearl & Bruse have delighted and thrilled many children. For 
children, soda is some of the best life has to offer. Through Hansa’s sponsorships Pearl & Bruse have given children fun experiences and evokes feelings of nostalgia in adults. Who does not remember the school timetables and cozy Christmas carol booklets?
Nostalgia and emotion
People’s feelings for Pearl & Bruse came highly expressed when the cable cars going to Ulriken were being redecorated. Debates on online newspapers and on Facebook showed strong feelings for the soda boys, which were part of the re-decoration. Even though people have a nostalgic relationship with Pearl & Bruse and love the two boys the sodas are not selling very good, but Pearl & Bruse is still visible in many places in Bergen.
