There are some tastes which never change and some which bring you back in your childhood. We’ll take a small journey through time and use Coca-Cola time machine.
I am sure that all of you know that Coca-Cola, carbonated soft drink is produced by Coca Cola Company in Atlanta. When Coke was first invented in the late 19th century by John Peberton it was a patent medicine. Pemberton claimed Coca-Cola cured many diseases, including morphine addiction, dyspepsia, neurasthenia, headache, and impotence.
Pemberton was using five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, and that is not a small dosage; in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (which was made from Pemberton’s original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola once contained an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, now, what do you think about that? But in 1903 it was removed. Coca-Cola still contains coca flavoring, but not the actual coke leafs, as it was the practice. Coca Cola is on the market now for 125 years.
Coca Cola is known not only for the delicious flavor, which no one can copy; as you know the Coca-Cola formula is a well kept secret. It is also known for their wonderful adds and their amazing bottles.
What seem to happened with their formula was reviled on a radio show. On February 11, 2011 Ira Glass revealed on his PRI radio show, This American Life, that the secret formula to Coca-Cola had been uncovered in a 1979 newspaper. The formula found basically matched the formula found in Pemberton’s diary.
