"How
did that FLASHER get
here?"

We enjoy our Coca Cola rooms, and
we are sure
that you will see just how much fun
decorating a
room with Coca Cola can
be.
Here are some
rather
unusual uses for Coca
Cola
Clean a
toilet bowl.
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet
bowl. Let the
real thing sit for one hour, then brush
and flush
clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from
vitreous china, according to
household-hints
columnist Heloise.
Remove rust spots from chrome car
bumpers.
Rubbing the
bumper with a
crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap
aluminum foil
dipped in Coca-Cola will help remove
rust spots,
according to household-hints columnist
Mary
Ellen.
Clean corrosion from car battery
terminals.
Pour a
can of carbonated Coca-Cola over the
terminals to
bubble away the corrosion, according to
Heloise.
Cook with Coca-Cola.
The Coca-Cola Consumer Information
Center offers a
free packet of recipes including a
Mustard Herb
Dressing (an Italian style salad
dressing made with
one-half cup of Coca-Cola), a Twin
Cheese Dip
(requiring three-quarter cup of
Coca-Cola and
doubling as a sandwich filling), and
Sweet-Sour
Cabbage (using one-half cup of Coca-Cola
and two
tablespoons of bacon
drippings).
Loosen a rusted bolt.
Mary Ellen suggests applying a cloth
soaked in a
carbonated soda to the rusted bolt for
several
minutes.
Bake a moist ham.
Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking
pan, wrap
the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes
before the ham is finished, remove the
foil, allowing
the drippings to mix with the Coke for a
sumptuous
brown gravy.
Remove grease from clothes.
Empty a can of Coke into a load of
greasy work
clothes, add detergent, and run through
a regular
wash cycle. The Coca-Cola will help
loosen grease
stains, according to Mary Ellen.
Some
Coca Cola
Trivia
The slogan "Good to the last drop," was first used by The Coca-Cola Company in 1908.
If all the "Coca-Cola" ever
produced were to
erupt from "Old Faithful" at a rate of
15,000 gallons
per hour, this geyser would flow
continually for over
1,577 years.
"Coca-Cola" is the world's most
recognized
trademark...recognized by 94% of the
world's
population.
Every second of every day there
are
approximately 7,000 soft drinks from The
Coca-Cola
Company consumed. The Company sells
nearly half of
all the soft drinks consumed around the
world.
By the 1950's, automobile
service stations
sold more "Coke" than they did motor
oil.
In July 1985, "Coca-Cola" became
the first
soft drink to be enjoyed in outer space
on the Space
Shuttle Challenger. A special
Company-developed space
can was
used.
The
Story
of Coca
Cola
Coca-cola was invented by Dr. John Stith
Pemberton in
1886. It was the doctors second drink
with coca
leaves and the kola nut as a basis. The
doctors first
coca leaf drink , Pemberton's French
Wine Coca, was
actually an immitation of Vin Mariani, a
coca-wine
drink invented by Angelo Mariani in
1883. Although
there were several immitators of the
French
Coca-Wine, Pemberton's formula was
superior. He was
actually quoted saying "I believe that I
am now
producing a better preparation than that
of Mariani."
Now, you really do want to know the

Cola. Don't you? We've

THRU THE YEARS GO TO COCA COLA
GRAPHICS
Pemberton was was a morphine adict. So
in 1887 he
begain to sell parts of the company off.
On July 8th
he sold a third of the company to Willis
Venable and
another third to George Lowndes. Neither
man had the
time to market, make or sell Coke so
they sold their
portion of the company to Woolfolk
Walker and his
younger sister Margaret Dozier. Dozier
owned
two-ninths and Walker four-ninths of the
formula
rights. Now here is where it gets
interesting.
Venable somehow disposed of his portion
of Coca-cola
twice. During some time in 1887, he gave
his share of
Coca-cola to Joseph Jacobs, owner of
Jacobs'
Pharmacy. In early October, 1887
Pemberton ran a
blind ad looking for additional
investors.
WANTED: AN acceptable party with
$2,000.00 to
purchase one-half interest in a very
profitable and
well-established manufacturing business,
absolutely
no risk, and guaranteed a 50 per cent
profit on
investment, with possibilities of much
large profits
and rare opportunity to right party.
He was able to get three investors with
this ad. He
took $2,000 from each of them. Their
names were J.C.
Mayfield, A.O. Murphey and E.H.
Bloodworth. In late
December the three new partners moved to
Atlanta,
ready to produce of Pemberton's
medicines.
At this point the formula of Coca-cola
was officially
owned by Pemberton, Walker and Dozier,
but several
others had interest in it. Enter Asa
Candler, an
ambitious Atlanta druggist. Candler some
how acquired
control of the company later in the
month of December
although he probably didn't own any part
of the
company until 1888. He acquired the
drink in return
for gambeling debts owed him. Charley
Pemberton
(John's son) claimed his right to the
drink. This
kicked off two coke clones by the names
of: Yum Yum
and Koke.
Pemberton grew even more ill, he died on
August 16,
1888. Candler was a pallbearer at
Pemberton's funeral
and spoke very highly of him. In later
years he was
quoted saying "Why, I suppose Dr.
Pemberton felt I
was one of his best friends in town."
Two weeks after Pemberton died Candler
bought out
Walker and Dozier for $1,000. With the
exeception of
the Walker, Candler & Company portion,
Asa Candler
had legal rights to Coca-Cola. He was
calling himself
the drink's sole proprietor by May 1,
1889. By the
turn of the century Candler would become
one of the
wealthiest men in Atlanta and Coca-Cola
would become
the most popular soft drink in
America.
