Imagine being a Sears appliance salesmen with a coke habit in the '80s when this song comes out.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Coca-Cola began as a dry-county rewrite of a coca wine.

Bartow Elmore’s paper trail is 1886 Atlanta, not folklore. John Pemberton, a pharmacist, first sold French Wine Coca in 1885 as a local take on Vin Mariani, Angelo Mariani’s Bordeaux steeped with coca leaf. Mariani’s ads collected famous patrons. Pope Leo XIII awarded him a Vatican medal and appeared in the marketing. Ulysses S. Grant drank the wine while writing his memoirs.

Atlanta and Fulton County voted a prohibition trial that took effect 1 July 1886. Pemberton dropped the wine, kept coca and kola, and sold a soda-fountain syrup. His bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, named it Coca-Cola from the two plants: Andean coca leaf and West African kola nut, the caffeine source. First advertised 29 May 1886 at Jacobs’ Pharmacy.

The early syrup carried coca extract, so it carried cocaine alkaloids. The amount was small and never a street dose. As public panic over cocaine rose, Asa Candler, who had bought the company, cut it to a trace and, around 1903, switched to decocainized leaf. Residual alkaloids were not fully gone until the extraction method improved in 1929.

The flavor stayed. In the formula it is Merchandise No. 5: coca essence plus kola. U.S. narcotics law later banned raw-leaf imports with a narrow exception for decocainized coca used as flavoring. That pipeline still exists. The cocaine comes out before the extract goes into the drink.

The can says refreshment. The archives say a 19th-century tonic that survived by losing the wine, then the drug, and keeping the name.

I thought people were overhyping these Japanese cream sandwiches online… turns out I was completely wrong. One bite and it was game over. Smooth, sweet, ridiculously soft. Have y’all tried one yet or am I late to the party?
