953 nut 65,626 #1 Posted yesterday at 11:22 AM 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 31,681 #4 Posted 19 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 19 hours ago by Achto 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
