The History of Coca-Cola - (3 of 10)

This program traces the story of the quintessential American soft drink Coca-Cola. The exact formula of the popular soda has always been a secret, ever since it was devised in the lab of a Georgia pharmacy. But, as the story shows, one ingredient was the South American plant coca. In early days, so-called soft drinks, such as Coca-Cola and 7-Up, contained ingredients which gave the consumer a "lift." This put them in competition with the lucrative alcohol industry. Through the influential liquor lobby's efforts, coca was placed on the list of narcotics, and the composition and history of Coca-Cola was changed forever. These and other interesting facts are presented in this informative documentary, along with archival films, photographs, artwork, and interviews with the Coca-Cola family.

Well nice to know they haven't gone on the plastic bandwagon we did.

If you bought one share ($40) of coca cola stock on the ipo day in 1919 and reinvested all the dividends through today, you would have nearly $10 million

@PedroyItatiFan, oops, I miss spelled Coca Cola. I AM from the USA, but I think that because of the high fructose corn syrup and the "Fizz" content, it's not the same. And, I wrote "around the world". Other countries use sugar (not that it is healthier in any way). It just tastes better.
