HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COCA-COLA!

One hundred and 27 years ago today, in 1886, Dr. John Pemberton of Atlanta came up with the secret formula for Coca-Cole syrup, while cooking over a fire in his backyard.  At first he combined it with straight water, but a drugstore clerk used carbonated water, and that’s how Coke was born. Today, 38 million gallons are consumed on a daily basis.

Coca-Cola has some of the most memoriable TV commercials of all time. Remeber this one from 1971?

And who could forget the commercial starring Mean Joe Greene?
