A Dying Soldier Invented Coca-Cola. This Is How It Happened.
Coca-Cola is widely known as being a symbol of America. It was created by Dr. John Pemberton - a famous physician in the 1800s. When the Civil War hit, he tossed away his lab coat for a buttoned uniform and joined the army.
After getting caught in a direct line of fire, he was given a life-threatening drug to ease the pain for his last few hours.
But he miraculously survived and used his near-death experience to build Coca-Cola’s $74 billion dollar brand.

Even today most "cures" or "aids" for addiction, become the addiction. It's a vicious cycle.
I've also read that Coke owes a lot of it's success to the fact that they made sure Coke would be advertised and sold in every gas station across America with a Coke machine out front, that way thirsty travelers not only bought it they also brought with them on their travels making it a familiar brand to everyone.
They had to have something for the people who don't know how to make their own cup of coffee or tea .

That could be reality soon coz underground rivers and natural water resources are abusively heavily exploited by soft drinks makers (coke being no 1) It takes 618 liters of fresh natural ground water to make 1 litre of high fructose corn syrup coca cola.

@@traceywilcox3108 Truth be told, even today in the South and East of Europe, that thing holds true, I mean, if you ask people in such regions, especially the ones with a lot of alcoholics you'll realize that they don't drink coke, which could be due to it containing sugar and caffeine and that doesn't mix nice with the old fashioned ways of the local street alcoholics and drunkards'

I'd say Coca Cola is more popular than Nike. ask the villagers of the remote countries,they would recognize the drink more than the shoe.
I agree. I heard somewhere that the two words in the English language that are the most recognized in non-english speaking countries are OK and Coca-Cola.
I'd say pepsi is more popular than coke from it's birthplace Atlanta.
That also could be because it is a drink for all ages, where the other name's products would not be owned by all.
Coca cola is easily the most recognizable brand in the whole world
You got that Wright. I never bought Nike before but bought lots of Coke over the years. I think Coke is the most recognized 😋 😏, of all things.
You failed to mention which side Dr. Pemberton fought on. He served in the Third Cavalry Battalion of the Georgia State Guard, which was at that time a component of the Confederate Army. He achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel.
I thought it was funny they didn't mention which side he was on as well. Maybe they just expect us to assume since he's from Georgia

It's a shame that John Pemberton never benefited financially from his invention.
It’s mind blowing
He's not a businessman.
Coca-Cola is my favorite soda of all time. Thanks!
John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, created the syrup for Coca-Cola. He carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy in Atlanta. There, it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale as a soda fountain drink for five cents a glass.
Coca-Cola used to be one of my former company's clients and they actually decorated our whole cafeteria with a 1950's diner theme using the Coca-Cola colors of red and white. It was literally like dining in a themed café. We had the bar stools, red and white vinyl tiles, red and white couches, Coca-Cola neon lights, etc. They also had a huge mural stuck on the office walls.
That' awesome. Like going back in time.
