Soda is big business; the combined revenues of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo alone topped 100 billion las

year, a staggering feat when you consider the price point of a soft drink is only a buck or two.

Arguably the most recognizable brand name in the world, Coca-Cola has become an indelible part o

human culture; its history rendered into stories, myths, and urban legends that have been defined

as cokelore.

Very few people go more than a day or two without a soda; while often considered an unhealthy

indulgence in the west, in some third world nations where drinking water is unsafe, such beverage

provide a lifeline. Below are ten of the more interesting facts about one of the worlds most popula

drinks.

If you were to survey the refrigerated section in your local convenience store, you might figure ther

are at most a few hundred different kinds of soda. However, Coca-Cola alone has some 3,500

different soft drinks in its international arsenal; if you were to try one every day, it would take 9

years to sample them all (by which time there would surely be more). There are many exotic sodas

to be found worldwide, particularly in Japan, which seems to have an affinity for novel beverages.

Soda flavors in the land of the rising sun include: yogurt, green tea, octopus, wasabi, kimchi, cheese

cucumber, and eel, amongst others.

9 7-Up and Lithium

Lithium citrate is a mood stabilizing drug used to treat depression and bipolar disorders, sold unde

trade names Litarex and Demalit. Today it requires a prescription, but years ago it was a common

ingredient in many medicated beverages, including Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon Soda. Today, we

know it as 7UP (it is interesting to note that no one really knows where that name came from). It

contained lithium until 1948.

One of the greatest culinary mysteries of all time, the 23 ingredients that comprise Dr. Pepper have

been speculated upon for decades. One of the ugly rumors spread about the soda is that it contain

prune juice. While this is not in fact one of the components, the others are up for debate, but most

probably include cola, vanilla, cherry, orange, caramel, and lemon amongst others. On the company

FAQ website, the question of flavor is answered rather cryptically: Dr. Pepper is a unique blend of

23 flavors. The exact formula for Dr. Pepper? Thats top secret proprietary stuff.

Taste is extraordinarily subjective, but there is one soda that has acquired a reputation as one of th

most vile in the world. Manufactured for the Italian market by the Coca-Cola Company, Beverly is

described as a non-alcoholic aperitif. It is available in the United States at the World of Coca-Cola

museums in Atlanta and Las Vegas, and those who have deigned to try it are almost universally

shocked by its bitter, astringent flavor. YouTube abounds with amusing videos of those enjoying a

taste test.

During the weeklong Jewish festival of Passover, which celebrates the exodus from slavery in Egypt

Jews are forbidden from the consumption of leavened bread (chamtez grains). Ashkenazic Jews

(those from Eastern Europe) are also forbidden from eating corn, beans, and rice during this time

(Sephardic Jews are allowed). Because Coca-Cola is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (at

least in the U.S.), it is not considered kosher. However, kosher Coke is produced in March and April

to coincide with the Passover season. It is sweetened with pure cane sugar, and can be identified b

a yellow cap. Many non-Jews also enjoy the subtle change in flavor, and during the short period of

time it is available, it is heavily stockpiled.

In the late nineties, Coca-Cola got the bright idea to install vending machines whose price was

dependent on the temperature. That is, as the mercury rose, a the price of a soda would become

exponentially higher, raised via a computerized temperature sensor within the machine. The

proposal was a public relations nightmare; people hailed it as a perfect example of price gouging ancorporate greed, and Coca-Cola backpedaled quickly

with diet Squirt. After 40 minutes, those who had consumed the diet cocktails registered much

higher blood alcohol concentrations. The science here is really quite simple: the body views the

sugar present in regular soda as food, and thus slows the absorption of alcohol into the

bloodstream. This study is especially important to women, who are more likely to order diet

cocktails, and whose bodies react to the potency in alcohol more than mens.

1 Nazi Fanta

When trade embargoes against Nazi Germany separated Coca-Cola Deutschland from headquarterin Atlanta, the ingredients to produce Coke quickly dissipated. German born Max Keith, in charge of

operations, developed a soda that could be made with the limited ingredients they had at their

disposal. The result was Fanta, a play on the German word Fantasie. It was made with odds an

ends: beet sugar, orange juice, leftover apple fiber, and even whey byproduct from cheese

production. The recipe has since been updated (the original would probably taste something like

laundry water to modern palates). It is noteworthy to add that despite governmental pressures,

Keith never joined the Nazi party and remained loyal to Coca-Cola. When the war ended, he handed

back control of his operations to headquarters.

If Coke is a lifeline in third world countries because they don't have access to clean drinkingwater why doesn't Coke use its well established distribution network to make bottled water more

accessible to them instead of an unhealthy and dehydrating sugary drink. Saying that Soda is a

lifesaver for poor people with limited access to clean water must be one of the stupidest thing I've e

heard.

they wont get sick or anything from drinking dirty water.

GK W212

You forget that they are so malnourished over there that they need the salt and sugar

present in colas. We view cola as "bad for you" because we have the diet to support proper

nutrition and colas are redundant for most of us. Similar to Gatorade, it's bad for you if you a

a couch potato but is good after strenuous activity because it's a good way to quickly replen

basic nutrients (salt, sugars/carbs etc.)

max duke

have u ever considered the price of bottled water in your country...and compared it

with the price in 3rd world??

segue

Okay, since you seem to have a handle on this, please give us examples of

the cost to the consumer of bottled water, of identical size and quality, from whateve

developed country you call home and a third world nation...Somalia, for example. I, fo

one, would be interested I. the difference.

max duke

well, I dont know about somalia..but in a country like India..the bigger

the bottle of water is..cheaper its price becomes comparatively wrt to its

volume. The smallest of half a litr is available for roughly around 8Rs, 1 ltr is

around 15-20Rs, and a 20 Ltr is close to 1-1.5USD (around 60Rs). Now for a

decently earning family, its absolutly fine, but for a poor people of India or

country like Somalia, 1USD per day is good enough money, and if thats the

case, then they consider to have some better stuff like food or other things a

try to source the water from polluted source rather than bottle. The point is..th

price of water is very very high..and mostly its these cola companies that hav

the bottling plants...Just a thought..may not be a fact or a study of socio-

economic

Ok, I agree. I work out, ride my bike etc. I eat. But I don't waste 200 calories on

a can of soda. Hard fried-egg, salsa, and an apple for dessert have the same numbe

of calories.

What do you mean has real sugar in it? The normal red can coke? What else is it

supposed to have in it instead? Don't tell me that in america coke has no sugar?

American Coke is made, now, HFCS, I think. For a while it was made with

beet sugar. Originally, and still in many countries, it was made with cane sugar. The

is a major difference in taste between beet and cane sugars, and a still greater taste

difference between cane sugar and HFCS. Try it out yourself, you can buy examples

each in many markets in the US. Once you taste the difference side by side you will

always be able to tell which is which.

From there we went to Cancun. It was a huge disappointment after beautiful

Zacatecas.

The job ended there. I then drove through the Yucatan jungle to Tulum andChitzen-Itza.

footage was showing up in other AE commercials and/ or recut, reshuffled in

new spots. Other footage was shot in the US Southwest, dams, slot canyon

I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to find a link. They used to be

Something I have discovered over the years is that just about everyone isinteresting if you give them a chance to tell their story. I'll admit I have had so

interesting experiences, but I'd bet that just about every poster here has

something in their background that is fascinating too.

Thanks. ll the best to you!
