h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

rereading the article it is now clear to me that this also is an article about the Corporation so what i said about other flavors would not apply.
Have you given any thought to the containers.
At one time you could recognise coke on the shelf by it's distincive bottle. some of these old coke bottles have become collectors items.

Is it still true that there are only two places in the world that Coca-Cola is not the number one selling soft drink? One used to be Scotland, where Irn-Bru rules the roost, and I think there was another.

Well, when I was working in Moscow a few years ago, Pepsi was the only brand of Cola one could buy out there. I think a company had a franchise for manufacturing Pepsi in the former USSR.
(My keyboard functions seem to have reveresed themselves so I get lower case on the CAPS LOCK function and vice versa. So my apologies if it looks as though I'm shouting. Anyone know how to put this right?)

The history is a bit scant, and skips some rather important bits regarding its rise to popularity. The pharmacist who truly launched Coca Cola's success did so by expanding beyond the 'fountain drink' concept.

Coca Cola was orginally sold through pharmacies as a fountain drink, of course. But, that particular pharmacist realized that there were a lot of very thirsty miners nearby who could not pop into town every time they wanted to quench their thirsts. By bottling the drink, and hauling it to the customers, he simultaneously created a new bottling industry and advanced the concept of user-based placement for products.

If not for him, it would not have come close to hitting the same early level of popularity, as the range of sales would have been so limited. Gosh, after that, you could even store it in your own icebox! What a concept!

Propose a move to Flea Market.

Better luck next time~~shagbark unsubscribes.

I'm back. Unfortunately, due some major building works at my home, I have had no internet access for several months. I'll get onto updating the entry now.

Great to have you back!

Wow, there's a lot to do.
