Invention of Coca Cola

Some interesting facts about Coke:

Coca-Cola is one of the most popular soft drinks in the world. In fact, over one billion cans of Coca-Cola are consumed every day. But this magical drink can be used in many more ways than just an ordinary cold refreshment.


1.Coca Cola was first invented by a pharmacist name John Pemberton as a medicine to cure headaches.

2.Coca-Cola is called “Coca-Cola” because of the original ingredients used in the medicine, Coca leaves and Kola seeds. Wine was also added in place of sugar similar to the coke we drink today.

3.When Mentos is added to Coca-Cola, the carbon dioxide in the coke will be rapidly released, causing the coke in the bottle to burst out. Diet coke works the best.

4.Coca-Cola can be used to help cure jellyfish stings.

5.Coca-Cola can also be used as a cleaning solution, cleaning anything from rusty pans to dirty toilets. It can also be used to remove odor.

6.If you accidentally got gum in your hair, rinse it in coca-cola and the gum will come of very easily.

7.Coca-Cola usually have the phrase “Original Formula” near the bottom of their cans/bottles, but it is not actually “original”, since in 1985, a portion of the sugar in Coca-Cola was removed and replaced by high fructose corn syrup, causing an altered taste as well as causing the coke to become unhealthy.
 
Coca- Cola was sold March 29. In celebration of my favorite drink we had Coke Floats!
