| Interesting Facts About Coca-Cola's History Posted: 30 Apr 2013 08:02 PM PDT Over 100 years ago, people were drinking Coke to feel sexy. Via Buzzfeed The creator of Coke was a colonel in the Confederate Army After earning a medical degree, John Stith Pemberton served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and it was his life-threatening wound that sparked his quest in creating Coke. Pemberton had become addicted to morphine, and sought a way to combat this addiction.  The original Coca-Cola prototype was both alcoholic and coked-up In 1885, Pemberton began marketing a beverage called "Pemberton's French Wine Coca," a mix of coca, kola nut, and damiana (a flowering shrub that has anti-anxiety and aphrodisiac qualities).  Coke is 127 years old?! It officially launched wayyyyyy back in 1886.  Coke was originally marketed as a cure to many ailments including low sexual libido Pemberton was forced to take the alcohol out of his original coke wine formula due to prohibition laws, but he first touted that version as "a most wonderful invigorator of sexual organs." Once he launched Coca-Cola, he called the drink a "Brain Tonic" and "temperance drink" (anti-alcohol), saying it cured headaches, anxiety, depression, indigestion, and addiction.  Cocaine was removed from the drink in 1903 But guess what — cocaine was still legal at that time. It wasn't outlawed until 1914.  It originally cost five cents a glass Roughly the equivalent of $1.26 today.   Coke has had a role in race relations In 1899, Coca-Cola became available in bottles as well as soda fountains, which means that there was a shift in consumer demographics. Explains The Atlantic, "minorities who couldn't get into the segregated soda fountains suddenly had access to it." It's suggested in a New York Times article that the removal of cocaine from the formula was sparked by racial tensions: "Southern newspapers reported that "negro cocaine fiends" were raping white women, the police powerless to stop them. By 1903, [then-manager of Coca-Cola Asa Griggs] Candler had bowed to white fears (and a wave of anti-narcotics legislation), removing the cocaine and adding more sugar and caffeine." Coke was also present during the Civil Rights movement. In the '50s, soda fountains were at the height of their popularity, with Coke being a main component of this. However, establishments like fountains were still often segregated. Activists including Martin Luther King would often stage sit-ins at Cokelling soda fountains.  Coke invented the 6-pack In 1923, the company began selling bottles in packages of six, which became common practice in the beverage industry.  |
