Coca-Cola Was Invented On This Day!

Can we all say thank you to a man named John Pemberton for his contributions to society. John is the inventor of Coca-Cola. All the way back in 1886, John was in his Atlanta backyard mixing up a formula that was intended to cure hangovers, headaches and all of that good stuff. What John Pemberton made was Coca-Cola! Where would we be in today's society without it. Think about it, Jack & ____, Rum & ____! Coca-Cola has not only been a great partner with all different kinds of liquor, but it's also that beverage you order with a burger and fries (unless they serve milkshakes). With all of this said....here are a few more interesting facts and tidbits about Coca Cola......

The drink had a trace of cocaine in it until 1904

Roughly 12-million gallons are consumed on a daily basis. That sounds crazy, but it's true!

The original color of Coca-Cola was green. Eecch... thank god they changed that. Green liquid just doesn't sound appetizing

Coca- Cola is one of the three top brand names on earth.....the other two--Marlboro & Budweiser-----------You would have thought McDonald's...right?
