One of the greatest letdowns is when you think you’re about to hear “Werewolves of London” but it’s actually “All Summer Long” by Kid Rock.

In 1946, Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov reportedly asked the United States for a clear, unbranded version of Coca-Cola so he could drink it without attracting Stalin’s suspicion. The company created a vodka-like variation in plain glass bottles marked only with a red star, which became known as “White Coke.”

After World War II, Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov reportedly developed a taste for Coca-Cola after being introduced to the beverage by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Under Joseph Stalin’s rule, however, openly consuming an American product could be seen as a sign of sympathy toward Western capitalism, creating a political dilemma for one of the Soviet Union’s most celebrated military figures.

To avoid unwanted attention, Zhukov allegedly used diplomatic channels through General Mark W. Clark to request a version of Coca-Cola that resembled vodka. The request eventually reached President Harry S. Truman, who passed it along to The Coca-Cola Company. A chemist at a bottling plant in Austria removed the drink’s caramel coloring while preserving its familiar flavor.

The resulting clear Coca-Cola, later nicknamed “White Coke,” was placed in plain, straight-sided glass bottles with white caps featuring a red star instead of the company’s iconic branding. In 1946, a shipment of 50 cases was reportedly delivered discreetly to Zhukov, moving through Soviet-controlled areas without being inspected.

There’s a cult hiding beneath the earth that has existed since the fall of the Roman Empire who has been systematically destroying any chances of me having this; from making short haired tomboys into lesbians and making muscle cars expensive and shittier, all because they hate me

1984 short film Orpheus and Eurydice by animator Lesley Keen🏺

The entire film is masterfully animated in the exact style of ancient Greek red-figure and black-figure pottery. Without a single word of dialogue, characters glide across the screen like a rotating classical vase.

The Iliad and Odyssey were two of eight ancient Greek epics. The other six are lost, with only fragments remaining.

The eight poems of the Epic Cycle told the complete story of the Trojan War in chronological order:

The Cypria covered the events leading up to the war and its first nine years. The Iliad focused on a few weeks during the final year, followed by The Aethiopis, which described Achilles’ final battles. The Little Iliad told of the planning and creation of the Trojan Horse, while The Sack of Troy covered Troy’s destruction. The Returns followed the Greek heroes’ journeys home, and The Odyssey chronicled Odysseus’ return to Ithaca. The Telegony continued his story after the events of The Odyssey.

Only The Iliad and The Odyssey survive in their entirety.
