Did You Know How the Coca-Cola Name Originated
By Saliadeen Sicey
🍾 You may have heard that lemon Coca-Cola contains some chemicals that can make people want to drink it: cocaine. (cocaine)
🍾The name Coca originates from coca leaves where one person who invented lemon, John Pemberton, who sells drugs in Atlanta city, mixed the leaves of nuts with sugar water.
🍾 At that time in the early 19th century, it was common to combine coca leaves with wine and Pemberton's approach to adding sugar was a way to avoid the laws that prohibited the sale of alcohol in the era.
🍾 But on the other hand, the name refers to other products that are not known but are very strong - that is walnut.
The shell of the nut, if you have never seen it, is less than two inches long and is blue in color. His belly is red, or white-white.
🍾In West African countries, nut eaters have turned it into something that gives them energy.
🍾 Because the ball contains caffeine and theobromine, which are found in coffee leaves and food
🍾 They even contain sugar in them
🍾Businessmen often carry walnuts to travel long distances because of their importance.
🍾 There are some things that can be taken directly from them, and it has been for hundreds of years that nuts have been cultivated in West African countries.
🍾 Historians such as Paul Lovejoy said that in many years, walnut leaves were planted in graves to make rituals for when a person reaches puberty.
🍾Although the seed that is being planted is required to be moist, sometimes it is difficult to harvest and the traders have to travel long distances from the fields in the middle of the forest. However, how to store nuts depends on how the status of nuts is seen by the community.
🍾In 1581, the king of the Songhai dynasty in the western Sahel region sent some gifts to the construction of a mosque in Timbuktu.
🍾From the 19th century, tons of walnuts were exported to Europe and America. The Europeans did not know about walnuts at all until the 15th century when Portuguese ships arrived on the coast of Sierra Leone, said Lovejoy.
🍾And while the English entered the nut trade and started exporting nuts by sea, in 1620, when the Englishman Richard Jobson entered the Gambia, nuts were a new thing for him. "He wrote that when we were at the beach, people used to bring us piles of nuts and we didn't care about it at that time."
🍾 "Ten pieces is a king's gift." When he was given six large walnuts, Robson hoped to take them back to England, but they either dried up or were eaten by worms before he got home.
🍾 Although this lack of knowledge did not last long, because in the 19th century, tons of walnuts were exported to Europe and America.
🍾And most of those imported to the continent are used in the preparation of drugs in companies such as Burroughs Wellcome and Co's and "Forced March" tablets, which are made to increase energy.
🍾"They contain some of the ingredients found in nuts or Coca leaves," and they are listed on the back of the medicine.
🍾 Another popular drink is Vin Mariani, made in France, consisting of coca leaves mixed with wine. The first person to make medicine was Angelo Mariani, a French citizen in 1863 and Pope Leo XIII was so interested in medicine that his picture was placed in the advertisement for Vin Mariani medicine.
🍾Other famous people who are said to be interested in the drug include Queen Victoria, Thomas Edison, and Arthur Conan Doyle.
🍾 But this drug is one of the drugs that increase the energy that is available when the effect of the substance is seen to be very high.
🍾 So when Pemberton, an American who sells medicines, mixed this ingredient, it was the last time that its effects were seen.
🍾And when cocaine is no longer effective as a substance used to increase energy, the effect of lemon made with kola leaves increases even more. Currently, the chemical composition of Coca-Cola is a secret, although it is said that lemons do not contain nuts.
🍾 It can be said that lemon "Coca-Cola" is sold by about one billion and nine hundred million every day in the world.
🍾Lemon is so famous that an attempt to change its taste in 1985 by adding sweetness to it in an attempt to find more market led to bad results, where lemon lovers expressed their anger, In one incident he was forced to be restored to the way he was
🍾 The success of Coca-Cola helped make the company the third most famous brand in the world.
🍾 Currently, the information about the composition of Coca-Cola is a secret, except that lemon does not contain nut ingredients, instead there are other things that taste similar to how lemon was in previous years.
