This program traces the story of the quintessential American soft drink Coca-Cola. The exact formula of the popular soda has always been a secret, ever since it was devised in the lab of a Georgia pharmacy. But, as the story shows, one ingredient was the South American plant coca. In early days, so-called soft drinks, such as Coca-Cola and 7-Up, contained ingredients which gave the consumer a "lift." This put them in competition with the lucrative alcohol industry. Through the influential liquor lobby's efforts, coca was placed on the list of narcotics, and the composition and history of Coca-Cola was changed forever. These and other interesting facts are presented in this informative documentary, along with archival films, photographs, artwork, and interviews with the Coca-Cola family.

  • @aqg3 One uses sugar cane the other normal sugar i believe.

  • This documentary reminds me of the Biff documentary in back to the future 2.

    Big up yourselves!

  • why the mexican coke taste differend than the usa coke

  • lmao 9:41 filipinos doing the robot.

  • Watching this program makes me sad. Coke used to be so special. Now it's just a drink. They need to bring back Sugar sweetened Coke in a glass bottle to the mainstream consumers. Not just Mexico or whatever. I know for a fact I would buy some for my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's , but every time I visit she asks me to pour her a glass of Coke, and tells me the same stories about it every time.

  • as it is neither irrelevant nor inappropriate, I'd prefer if you didn't call it spam. This was not an indiscriminate post to countless individuals. The documentary does not mention CORN SYRUP a single time. STFU

  • nobody cares about your spam!!!!!!

  • He meant dietary restrictions in terms of being kosher, halal, etc.

    It is massively unhealthy though.

  • Lol @ the guy working the drill press with just a hat on.

  • nothin can beat those 50s coke commercials.
