Pemberton had heard that the leaves of a cocoa tree AKA coca sound familiar had effectively been used to cure people addicted to the hardo by which I mean opium not orgasms number four this is probably because of one particular component of the leaves good old-fashioned cocaine just like your mother used to make number five in fact Pemberton actually said he wished everybody would consume coca instead of opium morphine tobacco or alcohol so if you're caught with some white dust in an ain't talcum powder plain Pemberton number six he combined the coca with Kola nuts and his prototype formula was called the French coca wine a catchy name that he later painted in Atlanta in 1885 number seven this concoction originally had alcohol in it thus the wine bit but only for a year in 1886 an alcohol prohibition came to happen and so the alcohol II goodness in the drink was removed resulting in the recipe we have today of coca-cola number eight a chap by the name of Frank Robinson

medicine to get that issue hard and solved I shouldn't have said hard there should I number twelve in fact at the time it was registered as a nerve tonic and advertised as a medicine for morphine addiction dyspepsia and headaches whether it actually worked or not I'm not actually sure I'll get Clive to get all those diseases and he can test it out you give her that Clive good job buddy number thirteen until 1903 a glass contained nine milligrams of cocaine the coca leaf extract remained until 1929 so all coke produced in this period still contain a tiny little amount of cocaine and then it got all boring I'm only joking 20 trucks number 14 in fact coca-cola is the only company today legally allowed to import coca leaves into the USA number 15 in the first year of trading Pemberton sold an average of nine glasses of coca-cola every day that's 45 cents a day he made math fans number six team by 1891 businessman ASA Griggs Chandler open oh sorry I'm in Candler got his mitts on the

coca-cola had opened syrup plants in Chicago Dallas and LA number 20 weirdly coca-cola was actually originally implemented in shops as a fountain probably not the kind that the cast of friends dancing with utter care in the world but you know more than littler ones a fella by the name of Joseph Biderman from Mississippi decided to start bottling the stuff from the fountain he sent 12 bottles as a sample to Mister Candler who wasn't impressed and thought it was a bad idea number 21 eventually though in 1899 to lawyers gained exclusive bottling rights for just $1 our man Paul Joseph Pierre diamond must have been gutted no 22 who in 1900 there were two bottlers of coca-cola who must have been bloody exhausted by the way by 1920 however there are about 1000 number 23 in 1900 Canela visited the UK and to the jug of the syrup with him must have been a nightmare too got the plane with the juggernaut but everywhere but anyway by the 1920s coca-cola was being sold in famous outlets such as Selfridges the London Coliseum and the London Eye on awake scratch that last one number 24 after this the coca-cola company soon expanded its sugary liquid fingers into Canada Panama Otto Rico and France number 25 in 1916 a court case called United States versus 40 barrels and 20 kegs of coca-cola which incidentally could be the best wrestling match I've ever seen attempted to force code to remove caffeine from its products although the government lost the battle coca-cola did voluntarily reduce the caffeine in its drinks ah how kind of them number 26 the signature bottle was introduced by the root glass company of Indiana in 1915 to try and stop people from trying to pass off inferior stuff as the real deal number 27 the design of this hobble skirt bottle was based on a photograph of a cacao pod here's a cacao pod and see they look them exactly the same like twins number 28 like your Pokemon this bottle evolved into a new one that was painted on the 25th of December 1923 which was subsequently known as the Christmas bottle due to the fact that the day that it was patented that 25th of December is also known as Christmas Day you're welcome the explanation you're welcome number 29 in 1919 Kandla sold the coca-cola company to Ernest Wood Roth which now I'm thinking about it would be an excellent name for a dog no disrespect number 30 in 1923 Ernest son Roberts became the president and would spend the next 60 years presidenting the hell out of all things coca-cola number 31 in 1928 coca-cola was sent to its first Olympic Games along with Team USA to Amsterdam not to compete silly how on earth would a bottle do the long jump it would just smash like a little idiot all over the sand stupid Bowl number 32 also in 1928 bottled coca-cola outsold soda fountain coke for the first time coincidence I think not numbers okay also also in 1928 coca-cola entered China and vendors started putting up phonetically translated signs which as we all know always turns out well sign saying wax flattened mayor bite the wax tadpole and wax fastened female horse adorned the streets of China who were no doubt very confused about what they were actually being sold number 34 eventually they settled on a similar phonetic translation that read literally to allow the mouth to rejoice it's a shame at have loved a cool cup of wax fastened female horse and a Beijing evening number 35 would Roth push to the development and distribution of the six-pack leading to the invention of the six-pack carrier not that kind of six-pack back on a six-pack there we go and don't use pictures of me again without asking number 36 in 1941 after that big World War 2 debacle started would ruffled after every man in uniform gets a bottle of coca-cola for five cents wherever he is and

well grumble no more because they're all owned by coca-cola yeah plot twist number 40 in 1960 cans were finally introduced they had been trialed before world war ii but due to metallic materials probably being used more pressing and important things at the time the project was abandoned number 41 early cans included a graphic representation of the bottle on the side so the consumers would still identify the contents of the can with coca-cola despite it you know obviously saying coca-cola on the front keep the radiance remaining a lie by the 60s coca-cola was now a global brand expanding into Cambodia Montserrat Paraguay and Turkey number 43 on April the 3rd 1968 the night before he died Martin Luther King delivered his I've been to the mountaintop speech during which he

marketing blunder ever and cook cold reverted back to the original formula calling it coca-cola classic luckily in the 21st century along came a little thing called hashtag Sue's and album party to take that crown away you don't know what I'm talking about google it now it's amazing number 350 by 1997 coca-cola sold 1 billion servings of its product every day number 51 in the early 2000s coca-cola ran the h2no campaign see what they did there to try and discourage people from ordering tap water in restaurants and to buy coke instead the campaign was secret and involved teaching waiters suggested upselling techniques who needs of water anyway oh yeah that's right literally everybody in the world number 52 in the Indian state of Kerala in 2003 there were calls to ban coca-cola after it emerged it contained two dangerous amount of pesticides number 53 in fact it's said that in some Indian states a small amount of farmers used coca-cola instead of pesticides because they work more effectively mmm koke potatoes number 54 in 2004 coca-cola attempted to launch a bottled water in the UK named Dasani who sounds exotic right well it turned out to be water fresh from the exotic springs of a tap in Sidcup number 5 5 to add to this PR poo storm coca-cola advertised Dasani online but the tagline can't live without spunk oh sorry rest of the globe I should explain while everywhere else in the world the word spunk means determination and vigor here on UK Shores it means semen so yeah people can live without spunk well not drinking anyway you can't drink it well maybe some people do I don't know what - in their private okay yeah Jen I don't want to talk about that I'm sorry I'm good I'm gonna be vom number 56 - even more add to this PR poo storm it was also found

product served every day tasty number 60 in 2014 the coca-cola company's turnover was 46 billion dollars making it the 83rd largest economy in the world ahead of Tunisia and Slovenia and probably the

percent of all beverages consumed around the world right now a coca-cola products not this though this is actually the year tears of my enemies why does it taste like peaches Nintendo 64 coca-cola has more than 3,500 different beverages under its belts so didn't speak if you tried a can a day of each of them it would take over nine years to get through them all number 65 if you stacked up all of cokes 2.8 million vending machines you'd probably have too much time on your hands have bad back but they would take up one hundred fifty point two million cubic feet of space that's the size of over

industry produces number seventy-three what is it that you get up to 10 minutes after finishing a can of coke well apparently your body wants to chuck your guts up yes according to the blog the renegade pharmacist a 330 milliliter can of coca-cola contains so much sugar that your body's natural response is to be immediately sick but the phosphoric acid in the drink inhibits this response by reducing the sugary flavor so uh thanks Coke I think number 74 45 minutes after drinking a can you release dopamine to stimulate the pleasure centers of your brain which otherwise exactly what heroin

way for you non dentists out there number 78 in 1985 coca-cola was the first soft drink sent into outer space they just shook a bottle of it really really hard wax and mentos in and off it shot into the horizon I'm killing open in a rocket but that would've been far more exciting wouldn't it numb but 79 however NASA has since banned coca-cola from space because due to weak gravity the gas cannot escape the carbonated drink and so when drunk it's very uncomfortable in the astronauts tummies Oh number 80 though as I mentioned earlier coca-cola owns Fanta but where does the name Fanta come from well II well well my sweet mother factor the name Fanta comes from the german word fantasy which means a fantasy number 81 Fanta was invented by coca-cola Deutschland during World War two number 82 due to that world war that was going on at the time getting in the way of everything in 1939 it was particularly difficult to get Coca Cola syrup over to Germany a man by the name of Max Keith he worked at coca-cola decided to instead focus on making a new drink without the syrup calling it an tur number 83 the recipe changed depending on what's left over ingredients were available from other food industries but it was many in combination of whey cheese leftovers yummy yummy cider saccharin and beet sugar for sweetness mmm sweet cheesy cider juice mmm number 84 Fanta sold well enough to keep the plants in nazi-occupied Germany operating and coca-cola people employed nice to know where something positive was happening back there then number 85 in 2015 coca-cola was forced to pull off an advert which talked about the history of Fanta without mentioning World War two all the Nazis at all in fact it accidentally referred to Nazi occupied Germany as the good old times oh my god

be found in Gujarat India at 7 cents a cup number 94 Indian authorities forced a closure of a coca-cola plant 2014 because like a big greedy boy with a milkshake except with water instead of milk it

from number 96 in 2008 coca-cola settled 1.3 7.5 million dollars after being accused of forcing bottlers to purchase more than the needed to artificially increase their figures so the company looks in
