A Dying Soldier Invented Coca-Cola. This Is How It Happened.

Video Description

Coca-Cola is widely known as being a symbol of America. It was created by Dr. John Pemberton — a famous physician in the 1800s. When the Civil War hit, he tossed away his lab coat for a buttoned uniform and joined the army. After getting caught in a direct line of fire, he was given a life-threatening drug to ease the pain for his last few hours. But he miraculously survived and used his near-death experience to build Coca-Cola’s $74 billion dollar brand.
