1- Coca Cola



One thing most people have probably heard about the
creation of Coca-Cola is that the original recipe had
cocaine in it. Well, that is 100 percent accurate. In
fact, it was cocaine and alcohol mixed together.
The story of Coca-Cola can be traced back to Parisian
chemist Angelo Mariani. He made a drink called Vin
Marine, that mixed wine and cocaine. It was.
incredibly popular, because mixing cocaine and alcohol
actually creates a third drug called cocaethylene.
Cocaethylene acts like cocaine, except that it is more
euphoric.
Seeing the popularity of the drink and hoping to
siphon off some for himself, Dr. John Stith Pemberton,
a pharmacist living in Atlanta, worked on developing
his own Cocoa French Wine. Pemberton, who had a
morphine addiction stemming from an injury he received
during the Civil War, made a concoction he called
Pemberton’s French Wine Coca, which was marketed as
a cure all that would help “invigorate sexual organs.”
The drink sold well, as one would expect from a drink
that mixed cocaine and alcohol. But then in 1886,
Pemberton ran into a problem because one of his wine’s
main components became illegal in Atlanta. And no, it
wasn’t the cocaine. 34 years before the rest of the
country, Atlanta enacted a prohibition law that meant
alcoholic drinks could no longer be sold.
To get around the law, Pemberton replaced the
alcohol with sugar syrup and called the drink “Coca-
Cola: The temperance drink.” Without much else to
drink, Coca-Cola became incredibly popular. However,
Pemberton didn’t live long enough to see the fruits of
his labor. In 1888, the maker of America’s bestselling
cocaine-wine died of stomach cancer. We’re sure his
product (or that pesky morphine addiction) had nothingj
to do with his illness.
After Pemberton’s death, Coca-Cola continued to grow
in popularity. In 1899, they introduced Coke in
bottles, and it became very popular with African
Americans, who didn’t have access to fountain pop
because of segregation laws. This led to fear among
middle class white people that cocaine drinking black
people might start attacking white people, and the
police would be powerless to stop them. So in 1903,
cocaine was removed from the recipe and it was
replaced with more sugar and caffeine.
Since then, Coca-Cola has had a long and storied
history with many ups and downs. In May 2016, the
company (built from an alcoholic drink made with
cocaine that was developed by a morphine addicted
Civil War vet who ripped off a French chemist)
celebrated its 130 anniversary.
Currently, Coca-Cola is the third most valuable brand ,
just behind Apple and Microsoft. It’s the biggest food
and beverage company in the history of civilization.
