953 nut 65,613 #1 Posted 7 hours ago May 8,1886, The first-ever Coca-Cola is served at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta as a health tonic, originally laced with coca leaf extract. It sells slowly at first—about nine glasses a day—but soon becomes the pick-me-up of choice. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 31,681 #4 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) @953 nut you left one out. Coca-Cola was also used as a form of homemade, post-coital birth control (a d*****) during the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in the US. Though it was popular in folklore due to being inexpensive and accessible, it was wholly ineffective and dangerous. Edited 3 hours ago by Achto 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
