Hey legends! This video was a longgg time in the making. Trying to cover over 100 years of history in 1 video was an interesting challenge, but hopefully you like the end result. 😅 We look at how Coca-Cola began as a dodgy patent medicine, the marketing genius that made Coke so successful, how Coca-Cola profited from the war, the very dark consequences of what Coke has done, and even how they made one of the most successful mistakes ever. There’s obviously loads more than that too, so sit back and enjoy 😉 (I would say grab a nice cold glass of Coke, but given the contents of the video... maybe not...) AND FINALLY... please remember to turn on the notification bell if you want more free mini-movies like this!

Cream soda had heroin as an additive back in the early 1900s and 1920s. Many became highly addicted to it. My mother, who was born in 1920, was terrified of cream soda and wouldn't touch it in the 1960s even though the heroin had been removed for decades.
we can't even not buy it, rather poverty for us or poverty for Asia and children. watch the nestle one, it's wayyyy worse. literally LABOR against children and tap water for expensive!
It’s sinister how they want to make lifelong customers from the youth meanwhile the product is bad for your organs. Company’s will literally squeeze the life from everyone to become billionaires.
and also replace the word "coca" with "nuka" so as to match the nuclear wasteland scenario. man, fallout new vegas really made me appreciate ZeniMax Studio
I remember my grandma said she used Coca-Cola for cleaning her sink and didn't even know it was drinkable. The best part was that Coca-Cola actually did clean my grandma's sink just crazy 🤯
Ya you can pour it on a car battery to eat the erosion off also, Anytime my battery would be nasty I'd buy a coke and pour it on ans watch it ne eaten away
I've never tried it and never drank coke i like lemonade and passionfruit flavoured drinks if i have softdrink but my mother used to say if you put an old coin in a small jar of coke for a week it will come out like new.
You don't need Coke for that. You can use any carbonated soda, or just carbonated water. Is the little bubble that help cleaning. Coke just leaves everything all sticky because of the sugar
4 years, 3 months and 30 days. Like a recovering alcoholic keeps track of his last alcoholic drink, I keep track of my last Coke. Even after so much time, I often still crave for this drink. That's how I addicted I was to the stuff. I'm now 20kg (44lbs) lighter and I feel much better. Keep away from this poison kids! Especially if you're sensitive to addictions.
I previously worked for a High Fructose Corn Syrup (hfcs) refinery. The refinery was supposed to meet food grade standards per the FDA. This place was a complete joke! The corn they used to make hfcs was stored inside huge corn silos that were infested with rats. The rats ate the corn, and defecated and urinated on it. As the corn would be transported by conveyors, sometimes the rats would get mutilated by the conveyors spreading their carcass remains all on the corn, including body tissue, organ tissue, and blood. Totally gross! This Refinery supplied hfcs to none other than Coca Cola! I started a grass roots organization in order to inform consumers. I have been in touch with Coca Cola''s board of directors, and they refused to meet with me to see the evidence I have. Co=workers had tried to get the FDA to intervene but they never did.
I love Coca-Cola more than ANY other drink! But the amount I drank each day (addiction) was causing my weight to skyrocket over the years. So... I stopped drinking it (I hate diet colas) and went to flavored water. My weight slowly began to drop, w/o any dieting what-so-ever. That was about a year ago. Yes, I miss it. But I know I made the right decision for ME....
After seeing how much sugar was in a glass,that was enough for me to quit + I'm fat enough. Please beware of buying tasteful water as that's approx a third of cola's sugar. Boiled,cold water is soo refreshing. It took a lil while to unbrainwash myself but I'm glad I did. Every now and then, I'll have a can of Shweppes lemonade. Bc I don't want HEK293 cells in it!
As an architect I was involved in designing a Coca-Cola bottling plant In Sydney Australia. The vault that stocked the Coca-Cola concentrate was specifically designed with reinforced concrete that was anti corrosive and had to be able to contain an explosion . And you people drink it. ! Go figure.
As a Vietnamese, I can say Coke indeed has become a part of people's lives. After the US removed the banning, Coke came right back in 94. They had a joint venture with a state-owned company and built a huge factory just outside HCM city. As a kid, when ever I went pass by the factory, I always gasped at how big it was. And the product the Coke bottle itself was so cheap, it became a popular drink. I remember back then when my family were visiting hometown, I frowned all the way because you know kids. One of my uncles brought me uptown and bought me a bottle of Coke. The bottle was cheap (should be around $0.4). But he was really poor (he was a farmer and hardly made money back then) yet he still spent some to cheer up his nephew. And indeed a cold coke bottle in a sunny afternoon really lit me up. Sadly he passed away just a couple years later so I couldn't buy him back something. These days I don't drink Coke as much (mostly energy drinks now). But once in a while I come back for a Classic Taste bottle just to reminisce the old days. As you said in the video. They don't sell you a drink. They sell you happy memories.
Back in the 70's while spending a tour of duty in Vietnam Coke Acola was found to be a big product over there, even the vietnamese would acquire it and sell it cold to the Gi's. Coke was the largest supplier fallowed by Pepsi. In the storage areas it was stacked over ten feet high X twenty or more feet long rolls X twenty feet deep where I was stationed. War was always good for Coke Acola. If I recall rightly it was even out there in WW2, at least the ad's in the states were supporting Coke.
@@suziefinley328 i heard energy drinks can and have give people heart attacks..one day i was out shopping i felt like i had no energy so i got a ED. I couldn't believe how he made me feel i felt great in minutes. I still want more of theses drinks and i will get more .it makes me feel so up lifted ready to do house work.
As a young kid I loved Coke. When I was 12 my family took me on a world trip, at a dinner in Washington DC my father announced he would no longer buy me any Coke. I’m 63 now and have never touched Coke since that night in DC. I owe my father big time.
what a story ! Very inspiring . Sometimes i have craving for coke or pepsi or some sweet fizzy drink , i want stop being addict to 21 century drugs ;D . They are many , from legal drugs like sugar , ciggarete , and illiegal like meth , but u cant just stop taking this legal or nonlegal drugs ;D , everybody have acces to that now
You missed out on sooooo much. I love coke. At 59 and have drank one or more everyday, and I am in perfect health… each body is different, but I love that stuff…now only drink the ones with real sugar…
Interesting thing about the taste tests: these results do NOT apply when people have full servings of the drinks. Pepsi is slightly sweeter, and people tend to prefer highly sweet things in small doses since sugar is difficult to come by in nature. New coke tried to replicate this, but when people had bottles it would be saccharin. So things that are too sweet actually do better in taste tests when it’s little shot glasses full. This is actually part of the reason Pepsi did these studies because they knew what the result would be before they did it
also in my experience pepsi goes flat much faster so by the time u get to the end of the soda its just terrible. i do enjoy a fresh pepsi more and always have but if im drinking the whole thing then coke is better everytime. imo. also when from a fountain coke holds up longer as well against the ice melting b/c of the same higher carbonation.
@@whereareyouatlee I can add to it as well. You know how new coke was tested to be better than coke and Pepsi but everyone hated it? Well, check the sweetness. The order from most to least sweet is new coke, Pepsi, coke classic. No fluke there
y'all skipped the question of the switch to corn syrup. i mean, it can't be the original formula, since the coke of the 60s was made from pure cane sugar. and nowadays it reads " corn syrup"
The production quality is insane. How does this channel not have millions of subs? Mark my words that it'll have a million very soon with this quality content!
Agreed. I jus wish they were more truthful with the harsh truths, like what Coke does to the environment especially in Mexico. People there feed Coke to their babies, and have to filter their drinking water through an old system that barely gives them one liter of clean water. They underpay their workers, but what choice do poor folks have. Coke isn't an old friend, because friends don't hurt each other and kill people. The video ends that way, versus hoping Coke develops a better system for all it does that truly benefits the environment, its customers and its employees.
@@GladysAlicea this video is BULLSHIT, advertising? using pretty Girls & Santa? Many companies do that. I know people who are thin & Drink Coke. Pepsi & other soda companies also have Sugar, The Energy drinks have More sugar. How many times have people drank coke & Crash & Killed someone in a car compared to ALCOHOL? Yet Alcohol is celebrated wildly & is accepted even though it cause Health problems Big time, Drunk Drivers., Makes idiots who can't handle it get into Fights. makes people depressed. who is Evil & DUMB?
what's "insane is how people attack Coke YET Many people die from Alcohol & Drunk Drivers, But that's "OK" because Alcohol is celebrated & "makes Money"
@@charlespotts3995RC cola is the first standalone soft drink Coke, Dr pepper, Pepsi. They all got in trying to sell caffeine and a drug or a alcohol chaser. RC cola said "hold the beer, I got one better" And I'm not a RC fan, but I definitely respect the brand I'm a coke whore 🤣🤷♂️ it's the taste I actually like. It's like a bitter Pepsi but a sweet after taste. Pepsi products leave a bad after taste when youre mouth dry out
The marketing strategies at 17:18. I used to attend a university that was a Pepsi campus. The licensing agreement meant that Pepsi products were the only drinks to be sold on campus This included soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks whether it was cafeterias, variety stores, pubs or vending machines. Coke had similar agreements with universities. It may have been a strategy to make lifetime customers of the students and staff.
I have heard that every US President is either a Coke or a Pepsi president, and whenever there's a change, they whip out one lot of vending machines (and cafeteria displays) and install the other. Urban myth or true?
I've heard that the marketing geniuses have found that both companies optimize profits when both brand vending machines are put side by side, basically giving consumers the (false?) impression they have a choice.
Try to avoid scams that label themselves as university. But let me guess where you went, Devry, Full Sail? Any number of for-profit schools that just take money?
@@Yeti_Talks No this was the equivalent of a state university or non-private in Canada. Canadian universities like many American universities have these licensing agreements to sell products on campus.
@@sandrainthesky1011 There have been no studies concluding syrup is worse. There's a little that excess fructose can cause fatty liver but excess glucose causes equal amount of other issues
And those artificial sweeteners in Coke Zero are just as bad. I used to drink Coke Zero to avoid sugar... but I found that the sweetness lingered in my mouth for hours. Not normal nor natural. And it also caused the inside of my lips to puff up. Can you imagine then what it is doing to my organs. Yikes. If I drink Coke now I'll use the sugar version but mix it with soda water, to reduce the sugar content. Still tastes good. My taste buds have become accustomed to the slighlty diluted taste. In fact I do that with all sweet beverages.

What a great documentary on the history of Coca Cola. I can't imagine the time it took to put this all together. I tried the new Coke and was very disappointed on the taste. I worked at a Coca Cola plant which also does Dr. Pepper and there products as a delivery driver but never saw the processing of how they made.
@Dusty Rusty you're full of shit! 😆 Coke doesn't own Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper/7-up is its own company and owns RC! Pibb is cokes! Now the only thing I don't get,is why you'd like about something like this! Lmao
I never like the soda drinks as it corrodes my teeth and the sugar is bad for health. And I teach my kids to stay away from them too. My family only drinks bottle water!
The marketing concept was a hundred years ahead. Absolutely genius. The next best drink brands that copied this strategy I would say were, Guinness and Jack Daniel’s. You walk into any bar and you will see a neon light with these brand names.
I think Budweiser did a much better marketing campaign than Guinness. Their commercials ranging from the Clydesdale horses, the Bud-Weis-Er frogs, the Wuz up dudes.and so on and so forth. But truth be told, the most famous and popular commercials ever are the early Apple computer campaign and the "Wheres the beef" by Wendy's. But Budweiser wins in the alcohol arena.
When I was growing up (in the deep South), my grandfather owned a "general" store. That means he sold a variety of things, not just groceries. In front of his story there was an ice box and he kept soda pop there. There was Dr. Pepper, Nehi, Pepsi, R.C. Cola , Orange and coco cola. I remember being in the store sometime and people would come in would ask for "a dope." This was NOT a narcotic, it was just Soda. I learned later that many, many years ago coca cola did have some "dope" in it. But my grandfather. who also preached in our church from time to time would never have allowed that.
Yeah. But I love them BOTH. Ain’t been to McDonald’s in a few months🤔 Had a Coke back in December. Loving something? Like ANY relationship. You don’t let it HARM you💡 -Enjoy!
growing up my parents didn't let me drink coke (or pepsi) due to the caffeine content and once I did try it as a teenager I totally hated it. I still don't drink coke or any other caffeinated and/or overly sweet drinks so thanks mum and dad! edit: I'm not trying to seem holier than thou or be condescending, there's nothing wrong with having soft drinks in moderation
You're really lucky. I drank coke from early childhood on, when other families visited their kids were allowed to drink coke which only happened once or twice a month for them. These kids were almost out of their mind happy being allowed to drink one glass which was weird to me since coke was everything I drank besides coffee. Coffe was the other addiction in my life from early childhood, I still remember how much I begged my mom to let me drink coffee until she finally caved in and let me have some with a lot of milk on top. From that day on every morning I had coffee for breakfast which lead to some serious situations on school trips when youth hostels were only serving pure tap water and rhubarb or rose hip tea - I'd have rather licked a fresh dog turd than putting any of that in my mouth so teachers were very concerned of me getting dehydrated and they called home. From that day on I had to carry a written allowance to drink coffee on all school trips which lead to me having to always sit at the teachers table at breakfast.
That has nothing to do with shit. I used to have sips of beer and hate it as an adult. I gave my kids soda. They hate it. I like it. My dad had it. He doesn't drink it. I drink it. I had it as a kid. How many kids never have alcohol but grow up loving the taste? Lots.
I had my tonsils removed when I was 14. The thing that most effectively quelled the throat pain was drinking coke. Although in the thirties, I believe that there may have been a narcotic added.
I asked the workers at the Coca Cola museum would I be able to try a drink with the original cocaine ingredients. She told me they had some but on the tour I found out they didn't. I was a little let down but it was a good visit overall.
My mom didn't let me drink soda. I was 7 years old the first time I tried it with my dad (parents were divorced, and hooboy did my dad get a lot of grief about this lol) and it was Sprite. I thought it tasted weird and it hurt my tongue and throat from the carbonation. But that turned into an addiction lol as I grew older and was more independent during my early teen years I drank soda like crazy. My favorite drinks were "suic*des" (every soda fountain drink mixed together). When I was 16 I dropped it because I had become very overweight between elementary school and then. I lost weight pretty quickly, and now I don't even drink it on average once a year. I just have no desire for it and I think that's thanks to my mom for not exposing me to it for the first 7 years of my life.
The alcohol was not eliminated from the formula in the 1880's because of prohibition, as you state. National prohibition (the 18th amendment) was not passed until 1919. Alcohol became even more common in patent medecines after prohibition.
I work in plumbing and sometimes our floor drains can get concrete in them when they pour the slab. We dump a 2 liter of coke in there and it will eat the concrete enough for water to pass by. Crazy stuff.
Could you make a video about Universal, Sony and/or Warner? They're monopolies in Video and Audio. Your videos are amazing and I'm curious to see how you'd do it with Universal/Sony/Warner
According to Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" it was called "Dr. Pemberton's Pick-Me-Up" when Pemberton was selling it. It was sold over the pharmacy counter, mixed with plain water. One day a clerk erroneously added soda water and that's how it became carbonated.
Paul Harvey did a story on my Hidden Safe company. It was such an honor to be interviewed by him and be all of "page 3". I miss his radio program. Such interesting stories!
As a coke drinker myself the main plant that makes everything is the Atlanta factory, During WWII coke was very popular among soldiers and marines in both theatres
Fun fact: the Pepsi ceo gave all their employees a day off in celebration when they realized that coke had changed the formula to try and beat Pepsi only to fail miserably
Another fun fact about Pepsi: They were the most weaponized company in the planet for a brief moment in the late 80's when Soviet Russia bought Pepsi but had to pay with submarines. For a brief moment, Pepsi had 17 submarines including a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer. So that's how they became the 6th most powerful fleet in the world.
@@diegotlamantli that's a real strange bit of trivia & a fun fact I would have guessed would be Coke since the WWII stuff. I would have gone through each of the different machines if I had been payed in subs. If necessary, an NDA or have sensitive information hidden beforehand. I don't recall ever going on a real submarine. Battleship tour was really interesting, but air shows and climbing in the planes & helicopters is really something special-
After reading the comments about how people are addicted to coke, it feels weird that I never ever think "I should buy a soda and drink it". Even when I'm in a shop filled with sodas on the shelves, it never crosses my mind that that is something I should buy. The last time I drank a coke (or any soda) was probably six years ago.
I grew up in a house with parents that drank coffee and pepsi/coke almost exclusively. I drank a good amount myself, but never felt addicted and never feel the "need" to drink it. I stock some at home for when I have company, but rarely drink it myself. Maybe a few times/year in the summer. I prefer water above anything else.
My first encounter with Coca-Cola was in the early 50's when the Korean war was still going on. My sister spoke English and got to know some G.I.s in Daegu, South Korea. I remember going to Palgong Mountain resort with my sister and some American soldiers. We put Coke bottles in running water in a stream to keep them chilled. There were no ice chest or ice in those days to speak of for ordinary Korean people. I still remember how tasty Coke was!
these are incredibly well produced. I knew a lot of the information when watching but it was great to see it put in a timeline of events clearly and consisely.
Coke: *commits various atrocities throughout history* Public: I sleep. Coke: *changes formula to provably better formula* Public: *HYPER ANGER ACTIVATED*
@@voltrono4166 go pour coca cola on dirty car battery terminals or rust and tell me the fact that its even allowed to be sold isnt an atrocity. atleast drugs give you a good time before they start killing you. coca cola doesnt even do that and hasnt since 1929
I already knew most of this, but I enjoyed having the blanks filled in - especially the part about Fanta. I knew it was part of Coke, but never knew how or why it was created. Thank you for a fun and informative presentation.
Eddie stop bragging you educated coffee sniffer 😂 Eddie my brother I also already knew about all this I seen it in a previous video bt a few extra details that I not know of. Eddie sitting there enjoying his Pepsi max 😂😂😂
@@jrsmith1998 Germany was a large purchaser of Coke products. But when WWII broke out, Coke didn't want their name associated with Hitler, but they didn't want to cut off the German market either, so they created Fanta as a "backdoor" to the German market. Then, when the US formally entered the war, they had to cut ties with Fanta for the duration. And Fanta created some new flavors while they were on their own. So, when the war was over, and Coke could go back into Germany, they decided to keep Fanta going because of those new flavors. Simple marketing.

I mean the documentry is amazing and informative, But what I like the most are the edits, Man these edits are amaaaaaaazing. The effort you guyz put in to present it is Just amazing. The VO, The sound design the animations and the story it self just amazing. ♥ I wonder do you guys have any editing course. I will definatly opt for it.
I have literally always hated the taste of coke. As a kid I would rather have fanta if we went out, but not regularly, I was never hugely into soft drinks. Now I probably haven't had a carbonated soft drink in about 20 years. Not because of a decision I made, but I guess there is no addiction there for me, so if given the choice I'll choose something healthier instead. I've always enjoyed things in moderation more than excess, so I suppose it kept me from getting too attached to any of these sugary cancers.
Same here. I don’t drink soda very often and usually only have one like every three months. Can’t believe there are people who drink this stuff everyday. Wonder what their health is like
33 minutes went like 5mins. Appreciate all those sound effects, texts animation editing, and scripting. I've been waiting for your new video and it was worth the wait !!
I always have told my wife I don't want our kids drinking soda. Water, milk and juice is fine and limit the juice. After seeing how coke markets kids I'm glad we've raised them that way. Geez.
Thank you! You helped me kick the soda habit, just a few days and I feel so much better. I'm 59 years old. It's now been 3 months and I can't believe I liked the taste of any soda.
@@alwayschange1100 I live at the Bodensee and the water from that lake is the most delicious I know. In case you don’t live at the Bodensee Evian does the trick for me too 😉
Very well done; however you missed to mention that their influence in the World was so big that the reason Santa is no longer a Green dwarf-like creature is because Coke commissioned Haddon Sunblock to create a new Santa for the World and it debuted in 1931. Thus, the Santa we know is a Coca cola marketing creation. Furthermore, Coke gave instructions to the bottling company stating that the design must be such that even a drunk person at night must be able to recognise the bottle shape as being a Coke. That is why the glass bottle design was important. Tell me if you can recognise that shape blindfolded.
Not just Santa, I've seen it switched for a Polar Bear drinking the Coca Cola adds on several occasions, but not always... I now wonder if those videos were true about using Coca Cola for cleaning up the toilet or removing rust out of steel...
@@Black-Rat The funny thing is that they tried the Polar Bear stunt, just before the World and National Geographic released photos of an emancipated polar bear on a piece of floating ice as a nonsense warning on climate change. Coke had to scrap that campaign.
My grandparents called coca cola "Belly Wash". Seltzer water, ginger ale and 7-up were only soda treats ever allowed. Another relative used to sing a ditty about coca cola that I only realized when older it was mocking the brand. They really did not approve of that brand.
It's pretty cool that here in Sweden we have our own Christmas-y soft drink, "Julmust" which is a kind of malt soda that's somewhat similar to root beer. Here the sale of Coca Cola actually drops by as much as 50% during the Christmas holidays. Coca Cola still pushes their Christmas themed marketing even here, but so far they haven't succeeded.
Here in Scotland we have another fizzy drink which actually outsells the brown stuff all year round - and has done since at least 1947 (and possibly a lot longer). The drink is called Irn Bru and it has been around since 1901.
Yeah i love Julmust but only the glass bottle Julmust cause they taste soo much better! (for the swedes: påskmust borde va olagligt sluta göra kopior av julmust)
It's simply astounding how much we've come accustomed to Coca-Cola that even among the various shady practiced they're attached to, the biggest controversy they ever had was them merely changing their flagship drinks taste.
Honestly they've managed to stay ahead of any marketing laws and limitations and learn how to play around them for a century. If anything it's actually admirable of how creative they're with marketing. They're the best known brand in the world and all they sell is sugar water 😅
What a barren waste of genius, I just lament. With their ingenuous creativity, they could have made the world a far far better place. Gordon Gecko like "Greed is good!" mentality kills all.
Fun fact - Australian coke is made from cane sugar which contains less sugar and is absorbed easier. American coke is made from highly refined harder to absorb fructus corn syrup which contains more sugar.
It's made with sugar in Mexico, too. Some groceries in the US stock the 4-pack bottles ($6.79 here or $2.19/bottle individually) and the taste is so much better. The expense makes it an occasional treat.
I was one of the few who on a taste test, I consistently preferred the original coke. When I worked at Burger King in 1980, I concocted a drink: 1/2 carbonated water and 1/4 each coke/orange crush. Later I diluted my coke by half with soda water. Today it's a tin of club soda and either the juice of half a lime or a shot of fruit juice. Thank you Coke, you also make Sprite - the inspiration for me to squeeze lemons and limes and adding club soda.
I stopped drinking soda too often in the beginning of 2018 (haven't drunk any since late 2020). This video just makes me want to keep on not drinking a single drop of any soda, especially Coca-cola.
I stopped long time ago, although I drink it on occasion or two (1-2 per year). Any soft drink like that is complete shiite and a health risk to drink regularly.
Everything is now poison. The last hope was African but these gready and devilish multinational corporations and governments have managed to penetrate that market as well

Being from rural Appalachia, I was raised on soda. Like, literally a case of whichever soda we had stocked a day from the ages of 4 to 15. Back then it was mainly mtn, which now I've long hated, but everyone around me drinks Coke profusely. I always hated it the most because I always got this awful burning sensation as it went down my esophagus, almost like the painful and nauseating feeling you get when you chug a soda on an empty stomach, but it'd happen with coke no matter how much I ate. Other colas didn't do that. I'll occasionally get a Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb when I go out to eat, maybe Cheerwine. RC cola is a guilty pleasure of mine and highly underrated imo as far as colas go. But thankfully I've mostly lived on water and milk since I was 15 or 16. I drank tea a LOT during the first year of quitting soda due to the caffeine withdrawals, but eventually I weaned off and have it missed it since. My high metabolism meant soda never effected my weight, but by 15 I was highly at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. I caught it in time to stop it and though I'm still at risk due to genetics, it's way less likely I'll develop it anytime soon according to my doctors. It was affecting my eye sight, I have a lot of neurological problems too, that though aren't genetic, can likely be blamed on a number of other factors like relying on soda during key developing years. I was covered in more acne than anyone I've ever known from 2nd grade to age 15, but as soon as I quit soda my skin cleared up very quickly and I haven't had hardly any acne since which is especially surprising considering how oily and sweaty of a person I am. It breaks my heart how commonplace it is to see children, even babies and toddlers, drink so much soda. I understand it's safer than much of the water in the world, even in the US, which is a big part of why it's so especially prevalent in Appalachian culture, and I don't want to tell anyone how to raise your kids. But please, if you can avoid it, don't get your kids hooked on sodas even if you currently are. I urge anyone to quit living on them. They're nice little treats here and there, but give your body what it really needs to function. Or at the very least, give your kids a chance to develop like human beings. Not just for obesity's sake, but for their brains and the rest of their organs. I've felt healthier and happier for it, and so do most people that managed to move on. I know it's tough but we can all do it. Best of luck, happy holidays everyone
@M P bc the coal mines and other companies polluted a lot of our water supply, so throughout the 2nd half of the 20th century the only way to get safe liquids to drink for somewhat cheap was mtn dew bc it was from TN, and some other sodas.
Another note; at one point in this video he mentions how teachers wanted to replace coke with something "more healthier" like orange juice. Ironically, Orange juice is not more healthier than coke. They are all sugar water. Orange juice is only healthier when it is inside the orange and you are eating the orange as you need the natural fiber that is in the orange or your body will get too much sugar, too fast (fiber slows down your body's absorption of sugar). There's more fiber and water in oranges and very little actual sugar compared to a glass of juice. You could not eat the amount of oranges needed to create one glass of juice. That should tell you something all by itself.
@@irmar Perhaps not, but sugar itself is just as addictive as caffeine and it is far more dangerous to consume outside of natural sources. If you want orange juice, eat an orange, you won't consume that much sugar (there's very little in an orange) as it is mostly fiber, which slows down the absorption of sugar in our bodies, and water. If you look at how many oranges that need to be squeezed to get one glass of orange juice, you cannot eat that many oranges in one sitting. That alone should tell you that much orange juice is too much. It has been shown that too much sugar leads to heart attack, stroke and of course, diabetes. I think soft drinks have been a plague on our society and lead to many health problems.
Thank you SO much for this video. I am a degreed, 65 year old adult who NEVER fell for the OBNOXIOUS hype and insane marketing of Coke. It sucks. Push comes to shove if I had to have a cola/soda, it would be Pepsi or R.C. Coke is obnoxious to me simply due to it's arrogance and, relentless advertising.
Coke leaves my mouth feeling yucky, and thirsty. I'm a Peosi person. I drank only Mountain Dew from about 6 thru 55. I will only drink a coke if it's the only one, and only over ice. I can't stand it from the bottle.
I stopped drinking coce when I read it's ingredients. And then it dawned on me that the "secret recipe" was just a sugar water, I never regretted my choice. I was 17 at that time ☺️
I loved Coke. I was working a night shift and developed some stomach trouble. I was a young athlete, in great health. I went to the doctor and he asked me what I was doing during the course of my days and nights. Because he figured it must be something that I am eating that is irritating my stomach. When I told him that I drank a few Coke during my work shift when on a break. He told me to stop drinking the Coke for a month and see how I felt. I did that and the stomach pain and upset went away. I haven't drank Coke since the mid-eighties. Actually I haven't drank any pop or what is called cola since that time. I mainly just drink water but I have some tea, mostly herbal and maybe a coffee once or twice a week. I do have some freshly squeezed orange juice during the week and that's about it. I don't drink beer or spirits, I'm kind of a boring guy. But I do recommend people drop drinking Coke, it's addictive and it's bad for you. Same as those energy drinks. Look after yourselves.
remember when we did science class experiments as kids? put a rusty nail in coke and watch it disappear!!! They said see what it does to that nail and what is doing to your stomach? LOL! Well I never liked coke better than Barq's Root beer or Dr Pepper. Coke is an American Icone. We are so used to seeing it everywhere...mind control media is very powerful
@@spUrrrt It can be entertaining doing something over and over again. Just as long as it isn't harmful in anyway. And you don't want something that you do repeatedly to actually be undiagnosed OCD. Repetitive behavior patterns are not generally found to be favorable. Because whatever the behavior, it can become an addiction. Like playing video games, gambling, drinking alcohol, etc.
I was born in the early 50's so I was Coke & Pepsi's target demo in the 70's and 80's. And... I was a Pepsi drinker. It was sweeter than Coke and as a twenty-something American I had that addiction to sugar. I always chose Pepsi when it was available. Fortunately, Pepsi was the house drink at Burger King, Wendy's and a host of Pepsi-owned food chains like Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC. But when New Coke came out, I liked it even better than Pepsi and immediately switched to New Coke. But something happened when New Coke fizzled out, instead of going back to Pepsi I was swayed by the folks' loyalty to Coke Classic. I was also getting a little heavier around the waist and Coke had less sugar than Pepsi, so I switched permanently to Coke (Classic). So, as the marketing went on, so did I. From Pepsi to New Coke to Coke (Classic). Apparently, I was in the majority because after Coke Classic returned to stores and restaurants it finally knocked Pepsi out of the running and Coke had been the best-selling soft drink in the USA from that time right up to today. One final point... After Pepsico started buying up restaurant chains (Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell again come to mind), chains such as Burger King & Wendy's now considered Pepsi as their enemy and gave Pepsi products the boot from menus. This was happening about the same time as the New Coke fiasco, but in the end, it also greatly helped Coca-Cola's return to the top and stay there. This was a great video taking me back to re-live a good chunk of the 80's. Thanks for a very well-produced video!
I used to work for frito lay, basically Pepsi is dying and they're subsidizing it with Frito Lay. Every year they're pushing for like 10+% sales increases while simultaneously cutting the pay for the people ordering and selling them. The worst year I went from 72k in 2018 to 54k in 2019 with more hours (60 a week whereas before it was 50)
It's one thing to hear about the data and see the numbers but it's another thing to read the personal experience of someone whose life was actually affected by the marketing strategies of the product! Great comment!
Great! One serving of Coke every now & then, In the Summer. I didn’t grow up on it. Can take it or leave it. But like “almond” SNICKERS, I don’t deny myself TOTALLY💡 I watch my PHYSIQUE. If I crave sugar, I go for it. Extremely rare. But extremely realistic💡
Absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best videos I've ever watched on UA-cam! Fantastically made and kept my attention throughout - and you managed to get through over 100 years of Coke's history as well! Subscribed!
Everyone knows it is the taste of raw cane sugar that original Coke had was what people liked, and not the high fructose corn syrup version which they wanted to sell you because it was cheaper.
You missed one of the most important points! Original coke was sweetened with sugar, (sucrose) but coke-classic was sweetened with _corn syrup!_ They *never* brought the original formula back, they used the "new coke" interum to do the old switcheroo. Most people never noticed the change, which they would have noticed otherwise.
In other countries, sugar is still used. Some grocery stores carry the 4-pack glass bottles from Mexico, which contain sugar. It's expensive, at $6.79, but there's nothing like the original taste, occasionally.
As someone who grew up during the "cola wars," and preferred Coca-Cola, let me state for the record that New Coke was truly terrible tasting: overly sweet, syrupy & flatter tasting. To this day I swear that "Classic Coke" was slightly sweeter than the true original Coke: more sugary and a little less bite. Nowadays, I drink 2L of water per day, and treat myself to an ice cold Coca-Cola once per month. Should be noted that here in California, "Mexican Coke" tastes much better and is widely preferred by those in the know; as real sugar cane is used instead of high fructose corn syrup.
@@charlottesometimes6853 Sometimes you can get it in glass bottles without the Mexican label, glass makes it taste better too, less carbonation is put in so you can actually taste it
While visiting the US, my friend and I decided to try Mexican Coke and we both did blind taste tests and to our shock, we both preferred American Coke.
Notice how the video author never offers anything but accusations. That's because there's no proof that most of that mudslinging is true. This video is yellow journalism, tabloid reporting.
In spring of 1971, I was given a tour inside a coke cola bottling plant that slowly had about 5 percent of the bottles being bottled in "non-returnable" bottles that were slowly were coming in, instead of using returnable bottles (you get .3-cents back then on returning a returnable soda pop bottle). In the early 1980's plastic bottling started with the 2-liter plastic bottles, then, years later, included everything...including vehical car bumpers started to be plastic.
I remember before the Clintons took the presidency, there was public service adds on tv on: Limit plastic use! It's Bad! Then Clinton, adds stopped and EVERYTHING started being Plastic. I've always wondered Who benefited from that and How? That change in mentality has fkd up this earth. Truly Sad. I liken it to car companies bribing local politicians to stop train services in favor of "everyone owning a personal vehicle!" and where that's led us. ( watched PBS show explaining that) People=Politicians = Greed= end of human life ... but hey, Some get temporary benefits from it huh? To hell with everyone else. Sorry. I thought: the older I got the better life would be... it's not. It's way worse.
The glass bottled coca-cola is delicious and perfectly fine to drink in moderation if you get the ones that still use cane sugar. In California, you can easily get these imported brands from Mexico. They are also available in other countries like Brazil and Mexico.. This video fails to leave out Coca-Cola's biggest flaw...substituting cane sugar for high fructose corn syrup (see my full comment). Their second biggest fault was going to plastic.
Personally I could never understand what so addictive is Coca-Cola as a drink. The last time I drank one was more than 20 years ago, it wasn't terrible, but nothing special enough for me to pick up another one (the one I drank was even free from a school factory tour).
Thanks! I already knew most of this, but your presentation was both entertaining and informative. Personally, I never drink Coke, although it used to be Bacardi and Coke every day! Now, I dislike both, but I never could stand Pepsi. Each to his own, i suppose, and tastes do change, despite advertising.
@Ricky Barber Due to recent developments, I had a blood test and found that my sugars were WAY high. Doctor asked if I drank a lot. Now I'm blaming it al on orange Fanta (and dark rum). So I've given up both.
@@mtn1793 I like Moscow Mules-- vodka, ginger beer and lime. The problem is I cannot find a good ginger beer anymore. They all have way too much sugar and are way overpriced ridiculously priced! It's not the same ginger beer that we had in the 70s.
@@desertodavid Try signature brand ginger beer, 12 oz cans. The flavor is great and the price is right. When I want less sweet I cut the mix with lime seltzer. Their 6oz bottles aren’t worth it tho, for price or taste.
So where did the cocaine in coke come from? Back in the 1980's I read something about the early days of coke, that it originally had cocaine as an ingredient.
I went to a health seminar years ago. The doctors were talking about Coke. They said the reason Coca Cola has so much sugar is the mask the high level of salt. It is probably like many types of drinks. You have to drink in moderation.
I remember the history of Coca Cola. It was a special on TV. I was shocked to learn that cocaine was also an ingrediant in the drink. It was removed years later. I don't drink sugary drinks. I'm A1C diabetic now and never drink any of those sugary drinks. Do your research on sugar and you'll find it's in almost everything you buy.
fyi there's no such thing as an A1c diabetic. there is type 1 which is 'born with diabetes' and type 2 which is 'acquired later in life diabetes.' A1c is merely a blood test for long term (3 mos) monitoring of diabetics, any kind.
I recently bought a Makita power sander. Imagine my relief when I got it home and discovered it was sugar-free! I sure thanked the baby Jesus that night.
As a video editor i have to say, the editting is impressive. The presentation, the atmosphere, the detective like feel and the approach all work. Tv documentary makers must be sweating profusely while watching this puppy.
@@whitsundaydreaming Mate, AE is hard AF, i usually make logo reveals and animated slideshows in it for small brands, and i use Envato presets, but dude, even those are hard to work with, i can't even begin to imagine the work needed to start something from scratch. You have my respect
I never drink regular coke. That high fructose corn syrup poison they use in place of sugar just makes you want to drink 3X more of the stuff to get the same glucose sensation. I know this from switching my drink to stevia cherry coke about a year ago. Just one can of that stuff satisfies me. Yet both coke and pepsi continue to use aspartame in their diet drinks - another nasty ingredient. I'm 50 and pushing 300 lbs so I do need to look at what goes into my body. As a company you just cannot talk about offering people "healthier" drink options in 2022 and NOT HAVE any stevia based soda.
"I am 300lbs and need to look at what goes into my body" while drinking diet sodas, which are even worse than regular. I find it hilarious watching all the obese people drinking diet sodas thinking they are being healthy. 🤣🤣🤣
@@redrustyhill2 yes be careful about diet anything . I even stopped chewing gum unless I buy one with stevia . For 65 my dentist says my teeth are in great shape . Artificial sweeteners poison , also too much sugar . Keep up the good work . One day at a time 👏👏
I'm glad you pointed out this history isn't uncommon for large brands that have been around for a decent amount of time. As awful as all this sounds, it's too common of a story. Especially the environmental destruction and human abuses in other countries. Many of the countries listed are so commonly harmed by large companies. Even as a little kid, I thought regular sodas were gross lol. I compared them to drinking a bottle of maple syrup and wanted nothing to do with that insanity. Yuck. As an adult, I've learned to tolerate a can of coke or vanilla coke if I'm super thirsty and don't have any better options, but I'd rather not. I grew up on Diet Pepsi. I'm not sure I've ever been in a situation where Pepsi was my only option... so I'm not sure I ever drank it. But Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke. And, well... Dasani and Aquafina taste like gross tap water sooo...
I can remember watching Jeff Gordon win a NASCAR race, then get out of his car, take a big gulp of Coca-Cola, and hold the bottle while being interviewed.
I was browsing my UA-cam when i saw your profile and decided to say hello to you. I hope we can become good friends? I hope to get a good response from you 🌹🌹🌹
In the 50's Coke bragged that it "Gives you a lift" I was hooked on em too. Then the govt banned the use of coca and that was the end of the fun factor in Coke.
There was a documentary years ago that I think was just called "The Cola Wars". (Not the newer one on the History channel.) I remember taping it in the late 90's and it was several hours. (Sadly I no longer have it.) It covered so much of the dirty laundry between Coke and Pepsi. This vid made me think of that.
Surprised you didn't mention "Bite the wax tadpole" which is what Coca Cola means when translated into Japan. That's why things in Japan were slow to catch on. There's a bunch of marketing mistakes like that, such as the Chevy Nova, which couldn't be sold in Spanish-speaking countries because in Spanish, "No va" literally means "doesn't go."
Datsun (Nissan) launched the Cedric in Australia, not knowing it was slang for Gay. Sold close to zero. Straight Aussies didn't want the ribbing and Gay Aussies didn't want to draw attention to themselves..
ATTENTION!!!! WHERE WILL YOU GO WHEN YOU DIE?? HEAVEN OR HELL? WE CAN NOT HIDE OUR SINS FROM GOD... THERE IS HOPE AND SALVATION IN THE SAVING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST. JESUS LOVES YOU AND HE DIED FOR OUR SINS....WE MUST REPENT OF OUR SINS, PUT OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND WE WILL BE SAVED FROM THE FIRES OF HELL. MATTHEW 3:2 REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.
The flaw in blind taste tests is this: if a sip of A tastes better than B, it doesn't follow that the same effect will be experienced when drinking a full can/bottle or more. I recall drinking the new Coke and experiencing a bit of sweetness overload--which I wouldn't have with a single sip. I suspect my experience was not atypical for cola drinkers who preferred Coke to Pepsi. If we Coke drinkers wanted a sweeter cola, we'd have become Pepsi drinkers already.
What no one talks about is when coke changed the formula, they did it without you noticing. Original coke was made with sugar. When new coke came out,they went back to classic coke, but it wasn't the same, they dropped sugar and added corn syrup and sucrose. And nobody noticed. It was much cheaper to make.
Don't think for a minute I did not notice. I stopped drinking it when they did that mess. People tell me they can tell, but for some reason continue buying .
@@jenette16 Let me ask you, do you think it was all done on purpose as a publicity stunt? That is, do something so outrageous then switch back, but do the change with the sugar. If they just switched to corn syrup and people complained, they would have to go back to the expensive sugar, but doing it this way, people didn't noticed and over time they will save billions
@@wurly164 wouldn't put it past them. Public is easy to manipulate. My son and his friends will only get "mexican" coke, they say it is with real sugar and is better. I wouldn't really know on that. We are a strange lot for sure.
Man I absolutely love your videos!! They are all so very intriguing and interesting, really like how you break everything down into chapters as well. Very well thought out and you seem to do a lot of research. Also love the illustrations you pick good pictures and little clips of videos, they all work very well together and really help bring it all together. Thank for doing a great job keep it up I watch these all the time!!
I remember how Pepsi tried an ad campaign with the taste test in Finland in the 90s. There were TV ads showing the blind taste test, with everyone choosing Pepsi over "another cola" (i.e. Coca Cola). But then Pepsi made the mistake of bringing those blind test booths among the public, letting real people do the taste test. I came across the booth at Helsinki railway station, and the "another cola" had the vast majority of votes, with Finns clearly preferring Coke over Pepsi.
@@history-jovian Umm, that's exactly what I was saying. That even though according to this video Americans tend to prefer Pepsi in the blind test, in Finland only the actors in the TV ads chose Pepsi. The real people, i.e. those that weren't characters portrayed by actors, in great numbers chose "another cola", with only some votes for Pepsi.
I remember the taste challenge too. I tried it in a grocery store, I think. I could tell by sight which one was Coke, because it has more carbonation. In that sense, the test was flawed. What this also means is that the higher soda water to syrup ratio lowers the sugar levels. Currently: Coke 39g, Pepsi 41g, and RC 42g (per 12 oz.) All sugar bombs.
I greatly enjoyed this video and the excellent production. Your extra hard work shines brightly, and I couldn't wait to watch it. I was not disappointed. Bravo! The introduction of "new" Coke occurred in 1985 or 1986. I was working at a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, and I was a Coke fan. To me, New Coke tasted flat and old, like the last swallows from a can that had set out open for a couple of days. I find it hard to believe that people would prefer it in a taste test. With all of the earlier deceptions and advertising gimmicks of this company, they seemed to get away with their shadiness. My job was to accept commercials to be aired, send them to the production studio, and make sure they were aired according to their contract. The uproar over New Coke forced the last minute production of new spots that would air over the weekend. I spent most of Friday night pulling the current spots and waiting for the new spots to be produced and delivered and prepared to air ASAP over the weekend.
Your videos are so impressive. You can tell that they are well researched. They are factual and informative. I love the visuals.Keep it up ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank God I am now 2 years/8 months soda free. By just dropping my daily soda intake (8-10 cans a day of Coke/Cherry Pepsi) & changing my diet, I went from 309 lbs to 220 lbs in about eight months. I’ve always said I don’t know what is in soda, but to me, my soda addiction was like any other drug/alcohol addiction. Almost 3 years later, I STILL will have cravings & dreams about having just one soda. But I know I can’t. I have stopped drinking soda a few other times in my life for a few months here & there but would have “just one” & then within a month “one” a week was up to one an hour. Finally now I know I can never have “just one” and my waist/heart/teeth thank me for that every day! Great historical content!! To all in their soda struggle, I wish you success in breaking the habit!!
Well said, and congrats on learning how to beat a difficult habit. It is totally insane how they built an empire on this drink by convincing people it’s comparable to normal food.
Hey legends! This video was a longgg time in the making. Trying to cover over 100 years of history in 1 video was an interesting challenge, but hopefully you like the end result. 😅
We look at how Coca-Cola began as a dodgy patent medicine, the marketing genius that made Coke so successful, how Coca-Cola profited from the war, the very dark consequences of what Coke has done, and even how they made one of the most successful mistakes ever. There’s obviously loads more than that too, so sit back and enjoy 😉 (I would say grab a nice cold glass of Coke, but given the contents of the video... maybe not...)

Man it’s actually ridiculously sinister how 90% of the common brands we see today came to be, scary.
Yes it is and it’s painful to think about.
Cream soda had heroin as an additive back in the early 1900s and 1920s. Many became highly addicted to it. My mother, who was born in 1920, was terrified of cream soda and wouldn't touch it in the 1960s even though the heroin had been removed for decades.
we can't even not buy it, rather poverty for us or poverty for Asia and children. watch the nestle one, it's wayyyy worse. literally LABOR against children and tap water for expensive!
It’s sinister how they want to make lifelong customers from the youth meanwhile the product is bad for your organs. Company’s will literally squeeze the life from everyone to become billionaires.

I've never tried it and never drank coke i like lemonade and passionfruit flavoured drinks if i have softdrink but my mother used to say if you put an old coin in a small jar of coke for a week it will come out like new.
Back when cars had metal bumpers that would rust, you could pour Coca-Cola on the rust and remove the rust, scary what it might do to your body.
You don't need Coke for that. You can use any carbonated soda, or just carbonated water. Is the little bubble that help cleaning. Coke just leaves everything all sticky because of the sugar

I previously worked for a High Fructose Corn Syrup (hfcs) refinery. The refinery was supposed to meet food grade standards per the FDA. This place was a complete joke! The corn they used to make hfcs was stored inside huge corn silos that were infested with rats. The rats ate the corn, and defecated and urinated on it. As the corn would be transported by conveyors, sometimes the rats would get mutilated by the conveyors spreading their carcass remains all on the corn, including body tissue, organ tissue, and blood. Totally gross! This Refinery supplied hfcs to none other than Coca Cola!
I started a grass roots organization in order to inform consumers. I have been in touch with Coca Cola''s board of directors, and they refused to meet with me to see the evidence I have. Co=workers had tried to get the FDA to intervene but they never did.
Ah yes the FDA. They're more worried with banning vape brands that don't play ball to help big tobacco
That’s insane!! Very disturbing to read. Glad I do not drink Coke… nor do my kids. 🤢🤢🤢

all people in these replies are dumb every company does the same shit yet you still eat nd drink from there but will cut out coke cuz of this 🤦🏽♂️🤣
I love Coca-Cola more than ANY other drink! But the amount I drank each day (addiction) was causing my weight to skyrocket over the years. So... I stopped drinking it (I hate diet colas) and went to flavored water. My weight slowly began to drop, w/o any dieting what-so-ever. That was about a year ago. Yes, I miss it. But I know I made the right decision for ME....
I was addicted to Dr Pepper. DOWN TO ONE A DAY AND HAVE ALREADY LOST 8 POUNDS.
I worked for coke for about a year, drank soda every day and it's awful, it's like smoking it's hard to stop
After seeing how much sugar was in a glass,that was enough for me to quit + I'm fat enough. Please beware of buying tasteful water as that's approx a third of cola's sugar. Boiled,cold water is soo refreshing. It took a lil while to unbrainwash myself but I'm glad I did. Every now and then, I'll have a can of Shweppes lemonade. Bc I don't want HEK293 cells in it!

As a Vietnamese, I can say Coke indeed has become a part of people's lives. After the US removed the banning, Coke came right back in 94. They had a joint venture with a state-owned company and built a huge factory just outside HCM city. As a kid, when ever I went pass by the factory, I always gasped at how big it was. And the product the Coke bottle itself was so cheap, it became a popular drink. I remember back then when my family were visiting hometown, I frowned all the way because you know kids. One of my uncles brought me uptown and bought me a bottle of Coke. The bottle was cheap (should be around $0.4). But he was really poor (he was a farmer and hardly made money back then) yet he still spent some to cheer up his nephew. And indeed a cold coke bottle in a sunny afternoon really lit me up. Sadly he passed away just a couple years later so I couldn't buy him back something. These days I don't drink Coke as much (mostly energy drinks now). But once in a while I come back for a Classic Taste bottle just to reminisce the old days. As you said in the video. They don't sell you a drink. They sell you happy memories.
Back in the 70's while spending a tour of duty in Vietnam Coke Acola was found to be a big product over there, even the vietnamese would acquire it and sell it cold to the Gi's. Coke was the largest supplier fallowed by Pepsi. In the storage areas it was stacked over ten feet high X twenty or more feet long rolls X twenty feet deep where I was stationed. War was always good for Coke Acola. If I recall rightly it was even out there in WW2, at least the ad's in the states were supporting Coke.
Energy drinks are worse, coke is bad enough 😕

As a young kid I loved Coke. When I was 12 my family took me on a world trip, at a dinner in Washington DC my father announced he would no longer buy me any Coke. I’m 63 now and have never touched Coke since that night in DC. I owe my father big time.
what a story ! Very inspiring . Sometimes i have craving for coke or pepsi or some sweet fizzy drink , i want stop being addict to 21 century drugs ;D . They are many , from legal drugs like sugar , ciggarete , and illiegal like meth , but u cant just stop taking this legal or nonlegal drugs ;D , everybody have acces to that now
i just buy sugar-less drinks for fruit juice
I’m confused if you’re talking about the beverage or the drug 😅
Do you drink or snort yours?
You missed out on sooooo much. I love coke. At 59 and have drank one or more everyday, and I am in perfect health… each body is different, but I love that stuff…now only drink the ones with real sugar…
Interesting thing about the taste tests: these results do NOT apply when people have full servings of the drinks. Pepsi is slightly sweeter, and people tend to prefer highly sweet things in small doses since sugar is difficult to come by in nature. New coke tried to replicate this, but when people had bottles it would be saccharin. So things that are too sweet actually do better in taste tests when it’s little shot glasses full. This is actually part of the reason Pepsi did these studies because they knew what the result would be before they did it
also in my experience pepsi goes flat much faster so by the time u get to the end of the soda its just terrible. i do enjoy a fresh pepsi more and always have but if im drinking the whole thing then coke is better everytime. imo. also when from a fountain coke holds up longer as well against the ice melting b/c of the same higher carbonation.
wow interesting!
@@whereareyouatlee I can add to it as well. You know how new coke was tested to be better than coke and Pepsi but everyone hated it? Well, check the sweetness. The order from most to least sweet is new coke, Pepsi, coke classic. No fluke there
Pepsi uses HEK-293. Human Embryonic Kidney. It took the mad scientist to perfect it 293 times.
They gave people sweet n low??
y'all skipped the question of the switch to corn syrup. i mean, it can't be the original formula, since the coke of the 60s was made from pure cane sugar. and nowadays it reads " corn syrup"
The production quality is insane. How does this channel not have millions of subs? Mark my words that it'll have a million very soon with this quality content!
It may be because the creator has side channels you may not know about.
Agreed. I jus wish they were more truthful with the harsh truths, like what Coke does to the environment especially in Mexico. People there feed Coke to their babies, and have to filter their drinking water through an old system that barely gives them one liter of clean water. They underpay their workers, but what choice do poor folks have. Coke isn't an old friend, because friends don't hurt each other and kill people. The video ends that way, versus hoping Coke develops a better system for all it does that truly benefits the environment, its customers and its employees.

"Diet coke of evil" has a whole new meaning
The marketing strategies at 17:18. I used to attend a university that was a Pepsi campus. The licensing agreement meant that Pepsi products were the only drinks to be sold on campus This included soft drinks, bottled water, and energy drinks whether it was cafeterias, variety stores, pubs or vending machines. Coke had similar agreements with universities. It may have been a strategy to make lifetime customers of the students and staff.
I have heard that every US President is either a Coke or a Pepsi president, and whenever there's a change, they whip out one lot of vending machines (and cafeteria displays) and install the other. Urban myth or true?
They still do this at every bar, uni and any facility that sell these kind of drinks in vending machines. You never see them together.
I've heard that the marketing geniuses have found that both companies optimize profits when both brand vending machines are put side by side, basically giving consumers the (false?) impression they have a choice.
Try to avoid scams that label themselves as university. But let me guess where you went, Devry, Full Sail? Any number of for-profit schools that just take money?
@@Yeti_Talks No this was the equivalent of a state university or non-private in Canada. Canadian universities like many American universities have these licensing agreements to sell products on campus.
You fail to mention that coke changed their recipe using corn syrup instead of good Ole sugar for sweetner
@medina__anidem Sugar is bad enough for sure, but corn syrup is far worse. DO your research.
@@sandrainthesky1011 There have been no studies concluding syrup is worse. There's a little that excess fructose can cause fatty liver but excess glucose causes equal amount of other issues
And those artificial sweeteners in Coke Zero are just as bad.
I used to drink Coke Zero to avoid sugar... but I found that the sweetness lingered in my mouth for hours. Not normal nor natural.
And it also caused the inside of my lips to puff up. Can you imagine then what it is doing to my organs. Yikes.
If I drink Coke now I'll use the sugar version but mix it with soda water, to reduce the sugar content. Still tastes good. My taste buds have become accustomed to the slighlty diluted taste. In fact I do that with all sweet beverages.

When I was growing up (in the deep South), my grandfather owned a "general" store. That means he sold a variety of things, not just groceries. In front of his story there was an ice box and he kept soda pop there. There was Dr. Pepper, Nehi, Pepsi, R.C. Cola , Orange and coco cola. I remember being in the store sometime and people would come in would ask for "a dope." This was NOT a narcotic, it was just Soda. I learned later that many, many years ago coca cola did have some "dope" in it. But my grandfather. who also preached in our church from time to time would never have allowed that.
In the cotton mills in the 50s, the cart with snacks and drinks on it was called the "dope wagon."

@@HankChinaski27 biting those burgers and then a sip of cold Cola is next thing to crack im assuming. Hahaha so good.
growing up my parents didn't let me drink coke (or pepsi) due to the caffeine content and once I did try it as a teenager I totally hated it. I still don't drink coke or any other caffeinated and/or overly sweet drinks so thanks mum and dad!
edit: I'm not trying to seem holier than thou or be condescending, there's nothing wrong with having soft drinks in moderation
I wish that was my outcome.
At this point, my IV might as well be Mountain Dew.
You're really lucky. I drank coke from early childhood on, when other families visited their kids were allowed to drink coke which only happened once or twice a month for them. These kids were almost out of their mind happy being allowed to drink one glass which was weird to me since coke was everything I drank besides coffee.
Coffe was the other addiction in my life from early childhood, I still remember how much I begged my mom to let me drink coffee until she finally caved in and let me have some with a lot of milk on top. From that day on every morning I had coffee for breakfast which lead to some serious situations on school trips when youth hostels were only serving pure tap water and rhubarb or rose hip tea - I'd have rather licked a fresh dog turd than putting any of that in my mouth so teachers were very concerned of me getting dehydrated and they called home. From that day on I had to carry a written allowance to drink coffee on all school trips which lead to me having to always sit at the teachers table at breakfast.
Yeah it’s nasty!
That has nothing to do with shit. I used to have sips of beer and hate it as an adult. I gave my kids soda. They hate it. I like it. My dad had it. He doesn't drink it. I drink it. I had it as a kid. How many kids never have alcohol but grow up loving the taste? Lots.
@@Lexor888 Not everyone likes the same things. I was never on a school trip without soda.

My mom didn't let me drink soda. I was 7 years old the first time I tried it with my dad (parents were divorced, and hooboy did my dad get a lot of grief about this lol) and it was Sprite. I thought it tasted weird and it hurt my tongue and throat from the carbonation. But that turned into an addiction lol as I grew older and was more independent during my early teen years I drank soda like crazy. My favorite drinks were "suic*des" (every soda fountain drink mixed together). When I was 16 I dropped it because I had become very overweight between elementary school and then. I lost weight pretty quickly, and now I don't even drink it on average once a year. I just have no desire for it and I think that's thanks to my mom for not exposing me to it for the first 7 years of my life.
Great! God bless you and Jesus loves you so much ❤
The alcohol was not eliminated from the formula in the 1880's because of prohibition, as you state. National prohibition (the 18th amendment) was not passed until 1919. Alcohol became even more common in patent medecines after prohibition.
Morphine wàs actually used in making cough syrup and it worked too.

Another fun fact about Pepsi: They were the most weaponized company in the planet for a brief moment in the late 80's when Soviet Russia bought Pepsi but had to pay with submarines. For a brief moment, Pepsi had 17 submarines including a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer. So that's how they became the 6th most powerful fleet in the world.

After reading the comments about how people are addicted to coke, it feels weird that I never ever think "I should buy a soda and drink it". Even when I'm in a shop filled with sodas on the shelves, it never crosses my mind that that is something I should buy. The last time I drank a coke (or any soda) was probably six years ago.
I grew up in a house with parents that drank coffee and pepsi/coke almost exclusively. I drank a good amount myself, but never felt addicted and never feel the "need" to drink it. I stock some at home for when I have company, but rarely drink it myself. Maybe a few times/year in the summer. I prefer water above anything else.

@@jrsmith1998 Germany was a large purchaser of Coke products. But when WWII broke out, Coke didn't want their name associated with Hitler, but they didn't want to cut off the German market either, so they created Fanta as a "backdoor" to the German market. Then, when the US formally entered the war, they had to cut ties with Fanta for the duration. And Fanta created some new flavors while they were on their own. So, when the war was over, and Coke could go back into Germany, they decided to keep Fanta going because of those new flavors. Simple marketing.

I have literally always hated the taste of coke. As a kid I would rather have fanta if we went out, but not regularly, I was never hugely into soft drinks. Now I probably haven't had a carbonated soft drink in about 20 years. Not because of a decision I made, but I guess there is no addiction there for me, so if given the choice I'll choose something healthier instead. I've always enjoyed things in moderation more than excess, so I suppose it kept me from getting too attached to any of these sugary cancers.
I am glad I'm not the only one that just is not that much into soft drinks!
Same here. I don’t drink soda very often and usually only have one like every three months. Can’t believe there are people who drink this stuff everyday. Wonder what their health is like
Fanta is a coca cola product on God
I’m the same way, but I actually love fanta orange. I drink it once a year. It’s become kind of a ritual lmao.

Very well done; however you missed to mention that their influence in the World was so big that the reason Santa is no longer a Green dwarf-like creature is because Coke commissioned Haddon Sunblock to create a new Santa for the World and it debuted in 1931. Thus, the Santa we know is a Coca cola marketing creation. Furthermore, Coke gave instructions to the bottling company stating that the design must be such that even a drunk person at night must be able to recognise the bottle shape as being a Coke. That is why the glass bottle design was important. Tell me if you can recognise that shape blindfolded.
Wow, good catch!
Not just Santa, I've seen it switched for a Polar Bear drinking the Coca Cola adds on several occasions, but not always...

My grandparents called coca cola "Belly Wash". Seltzer water, ginger ale and 7-up were only soda treats ever allowed. Another relative used to sing a ditty about coca cola that I only realized when older it was mocking the brand. They really did not approve of that brand.
It's pretty cool that here in Sweden we have our own Christmas-y soft drink, "Julmust" which is a kind of malt soda that's somewhat similar to root beer. Here the sale of Coca Cola actually drops by as much as 50% during the Christmas holidays. Coca Cola still pushes their Christmas themed marketing even here, but so far they haven't succeeded.
Here in Scotland we have another fizzy drink which actually outsells the brown stuff all year round - and has done since at least 1947 (and possibly a lot longer).
The drink is called Irn Bru and it has been around since 1901.

It's simply astounding how much we've come accustomed to Coca-Cola that even among the various shady practiced they're attached to, the biggest controversy they ever had was them merely changing their flagship drinks taste.
Huh. I would've thought their biggest controversy was telling people (effectively) to be less white.
Honestly they've managed to stay ahead of any marketing laws and limitations and learn how to play around them for a century. If anything it's actually admirable of how creative they're with marketing. They're the best known brand in the world and all they sell is sugar water 😅
What a barren waste of genius, I just lament. With their ingenuous creativity, they could have made the world a far far better place. Gordon Gecko like "Greed is good!" mentality kills all.

Fun fact - Australian coke is made from cane sugar which contains less sugar and is absorbed easier. American coke is made from highly refined harder to absorb fructus corn syrup which contains more sugar.

It's made with sugar in Mexico, too. Some groceries in the US stock the 4-pack bottles ($6.79 here or $2.19/bottle individually) and the taste is so much better. The expense makes it an occasional treat.
First time watching your content. Outstanding, honestly the production quality, content, structure, story telling. Genuinely impressive, well done 👍
I was one of the few who on a taste test, I consistently preferred the original coke. When I worked at Burger King in 1980, I concocted a drink: 1/2 carbonated water and 1/4 each coke/orange crush. Later I diluted my coke by half with soda water. Today it's a tin of club soda and either the juice of half a lime or a shot of fruit juice. Thank you Coke, you also make Sprite - the inspiration for me to squeeze lemons and limes and adding club soda.
I just started watching your channel a few days ago and im absolutely hooked these are so interesting
I stopped drinking soda too often in the beginning of 2018 (haven't drunk any since late 2020). This video just makes me want to keep on not drinking a single drop of any soda, especially Coca-cola.
I stopped long time ago, although I drink it on occasion or two (1-2 per year). Any soft drink like that is complete shiite and a health risk to drink regularly.

Being from rural Appalachia, I was raised on soda. Like, literally a case of whichever soda we had stocked a day from the ages of 4 to 15. Back then it was mainly mtn, which now I've long hated, but everyone around me drinks Coke profusely. I always hated it the most because I always got this awful burning sensation as it went down my esophagus, almost like the painful and nauseating feeling you get when you chug a soda on an empty stomach, but it'd happen with coke no matter how much I ate. Other colas didn't do that. I'll occasionally get a Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb when I go out to eat, maybe Cheerwine. RC cola is a guilty pleasure of mine and highly underrated imo as far as colas go. But thankfully I've mostly lived on water and milk since I was 15 or 16. I drank tea a LOT during the first year of quitting soda due to the caffeine withdrawals, but eventually I weaned off and have it missed it since. My high metabolism meant soda never effected my weight, but by 15 I was highly at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. I caught it in time to stop it and though I'm still at risk due to genetics, it's way less likely I'll develop it anytime soon according to my doctors. It was affecting my eye sight, I have a lot of neurological problems too, that though aren't genetic, can likely be blamed on a number of other factors like relying on soda during key developing years. I was covered in more acne than anyone I've ever known from 2nd grade to age 15, but as soon as I quit soda my skin cleared up very quickly and I haven't had hardly any acne since which is especially surprising considering how oily and sweaty of a person I am. It breaks my heart how commonplace it is to see children, even babies and toddlers, drink so much soda. I understand it's safer than much of the water in the world, even in the US, which is a big part of why it's so especially prevalent in Appalachian culture, and I don't want to tell anyone how to raise your kids. But please, if you can avoid it, don't get your kids hooked on sodas even if you currently are. I urge anyone to quit living on them. They're nice little treats here and there, but give your body what it really needs to function. Or at the very least, give your kids a chance to develop like human beings. Not just for obesity's sake, but for their brains and the rest of their organs. I've felt healthier and happier for it, and so do most people that managed to move on. I know it's tough but we can all do it. Best of luck, happy holidays everyone
Very nice comment, how come in Appalachia soda is so prevalent?
@@MP-tz2yn I was wondering the same thing.
What is cheerwine? I've never heard of this.
@M P bc the coal mines and other companies polluted a lot of our water supply, so throughout the 2nd half of the 20th century the only way to get safe liquids to drink for somewhat cheap was mtn dew bc it was from TN, and some other sodas.
@@ravishingravebabe2916 cheerwine is a brand/flavor of cherry cola.
Another note; at one point in this video he mentions how teachers wanted to replace coke with something "more healthier" like orange juice. Ironically, Orange juice is not more healthier than coke. They are all sugar water. Orange juice is only healthier when it is inside the orange and you are eating the orange as you need the natural fiber that is in the orange or your body will get too much sugar, too fast (fiber slows down your body's absorption of sugar). There's more fiber and water in oranges and very little actual sugar compared to a glass of juice. You could not eat the amount of oranges needed to create one glass of juice. That should tell you something all by itself.
The feeding infants orange and apple juice in bottles starts the sugar addiction.
True, fruit juice has lots of concentrated fructose, but at least it doesn't have caffeine!
@@irmar Perhaps not, but sugar itself is just as addictive as caffeine and it is far more dangerous to consume outside of natural sources. If you want orange juice, eat an orange, you won't consume that much sugar (there's very little in an orange) as it is mostly fiber, which slows down the absorption of sugar in our bodies, and water. If you look at how many oranges that need to be squeezed to get one glass of orange juice, you cannot eat that many oranges in one sitting. That alone should tell you that much orange juice is too much.
It has been shown that too much sugar leads to heart attack, stroke and of course, diabetes. I think soft drinks have been a plague on our society and lead to many health problems.
Orange juice also has flavoring agents added which they dont disclose.
More healthier. Haha
Thank you SO much for this video. I am a degreed, 65 year old adult who NEVER fell for the OBNOXIOUS hype and insane marketing of Coke. It sucks. Push comes to shove if I had to have a cola/soda, it would be Pepsi or R.C. Coke is obnoxious to me simply due to it's arrogance and, relentless advertising.
My dad is turning 71 years old this year and he doesn’t like coke or any other soda 🥤
God bless you and Jesus loves you so much ❤
Sounds like Apple (the obnoxious part)
Are you a GOP supporter?
Coke leaves my mouth feeling yucky, and thirsty.
I'm a Peosi person. I drank only Mountain Dew from about 6 thru 55. I will only drink a coke if it's the only one, and only over ice. I can't stand it from the bottle.
I stopped drinking coce when I read it's ingredients. And then it dawned on me that the "secret recipe" was just a sugar water, I never regretted my choice. I was 17 at that time ☺️
I loved Coke. I was working a night shift and developed some stomach trouble. I was a young athlete, in great health. I went to the doctor and he asked me what I was doing during the course of my days and nights. Because he figured it must be something that I am eating that is irritating my stomach. When I told him that I drank a few Coke during my work shift when on a break. He told me to stop drinking the Coke for a month and see how I felt. I did that and the stomach pain and upset went away. I haven't drank Coke since the mid-eighties. Actually I haven't drank any pop or what is called cola since that time. I mainly just drink water but I have some tea, mostly herbal and maybe a coffee once or twice a week. I do have some freshly squeezed orange juice during the week and that's about it. I don't drink beer or spirits, I'm kind of a boring guy. But I do recommend people drop drinking Coke, it's addictive and it's bad for you. Same as those energy drinks. Look after yourselves.
remember when we did science class experiments as kids? put a rusty nail in coke and watch it disappear!!! They said see what it does to that nail and what is doing to your stomach? LOL! Well I never liked coke better than Barq's Root beer or Dr Pepper. Coke is an American Icone.
We are so used to seeing it everywhere...mind control media is very powerful
Most soft drink is sugar loaded and not really good for you....
People though really like addictive things and substances... I certainly like doing something I like over and over and over again!
@@timeriderx Although the stomach isn't made of metal, it's made of complicated regenerative organics
@@spUrrrt It can be entertaining doing something over and over again. Just as long as it isn't harmful in anyway. And you don't want something that you do repeatedly to actually be undiagnosed OCD. Repetitive behavior patterns are not generally found to be favorable. Because whatever the behavior, it can become an addiction. Like playing video games, gambling, drinking alcohol, etc.
OH. MY. GOD. This was a STUNNING, EPIC video. The research, production values are ALL amazing. This is truly amazing work.
Your documentaries are the best!!
I was born in the early 50's so I was Coke & Pepsi's target demo in the 70's and 80's. And... I was a Pepsi drinker. It was sweeter than Coke and as a twenty-something American I had that addiction to sugar. I always chose Pepsi when it was available. Fortunately, Pepsi was the house drink at Burger King, Wendy's and a host of Pepsi-owned food chains like Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC. But when New Coke came out, I liked it even better than Pepsi and immediately switched to New Coke. But something happened when New Coke fizzled out, instead of going back to Pepsi I was swayed by the folks' loyalty to Coke Classic. I was also getting a little heavier around the waist and Coke had less sugar than Pepsi, so I switched permanently to Coke (Classic). So, as the marketing went on, so did I. From Pepsi to New Coke to Coke (Classic). Apparently, I was in the majority because after Coke Classic returned to stores and restaurants it finally knocked Pepsi out of the running and Coke had been the best-selling soft drink in the USA from that time right up to today. One final point... After Pepsico started buying up restaurant chains (Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell again come to mind), chains such as Burger King & Wendy's now considered Pepsi as their enemy and gave Pepsi products the boot from menus. This was happening about the same time as the New Coke fiasco, but in the end, it also greatly helped Coca-Cola's return to the top and stay there. This was a great video taking me back to re-live a good chunk of the 80's. Thanks for a very well-produced video!
Damn you’re old
I used to work for frito lay, basically Pepsi is dying and they're subsidizing it with Frito Lay.
Every year they're pushing for like 10+% sales increases while simultaneously cutting the pay for the people ordering and selling them.
The worst year I went from 72k in 2018 to 54k in 2019 with more hours (60 a week whereas before it was 50)
I find Coke Cola are more delicious than Pepsi
It's one thing to hear about the data and see the numbers but it's another thing to read the personal experience of someone whose life was actually affected by the marketing strategies of the product! Great comment!
Well educated
After reading the book, "Killer Coke", that was enough for me. Since then, I've maybe bought 1 bottle. I read that book in 2012.
That's one more bottle than I've purchased in the past 40 years.
so that was enough for you. you stopped reading hahaha
@@aussieintexas61 Unless you count office memos and YT comments.......
Great!
One serving of Coke every now & then,
In the Summer.
I didn’t grow up on it.
Can take it or leave it.
But like “almond” SNICKERS,
I don’t deny myself TOTALLY💡
I watch my PHYSIQUE.
If I crave sugar, I go for it.
Extremely rare.
But extremely realistic💡
Good job happy for you, all these types of drinks are poison
Absolutely outstanding, possibly one of the best videos I've ever watched on UA-cam! Fantastically made and kept my attention throughout - and you managed to get through over 100 years of Coke's history as well! Subscribed!
Everyone knows it is the taste of raw cane sugar that original Coke had was
what people liked, and not the high fructose corn syrup version which they
wanted to sell you because it was cheaper.
You missed one of the most important points! Original coke was sweetened with sugar, (sucrose) but coke-classic was sweetened with _corn syrup!_ They *never* brought the original formula back, they used the "new coke" interum to do the old switcheroo. Most people never noticed the change, which they would have noticed otherwise.
The Wheels of the coke goes round and round, round, round, round, and round, the wheels of the coke goes round and round.
Absolutely right. I used to like coke but when hfc took over I no longer liked it. I even worked for Coca cola in the 90ies
In other countries, sugar is still used. Some grocery stores carry the 4-pack glass bottles from Mexico, which contain sugar. It's expensive, at $6.79, but there's nothing like the original taste, occasionally.
Great vid, but I would have liked to see a segment on "Diet Coke". The replacement of sugar with a synthetic sweetener.
yes that is a great suggestion!!
Highly addictive and known to cause cancer. On a par with cigarettes
As someone who grew up during the "cola wars," and preferred Coca-Cola, let me state for the record that New Coke was truly terrible tasting: overly sweet, syrupy & flatter tasting. To this day I swear that "Classic Coke" was slightly sweeter than the true original Coke: more sugary and a little less bite. Nowadays, I drink 2L of water per day, and treat myself to an ice cold Coca-Cola once per month. Should be noted that here in California, "Mexican Coke" tastes much better and is widely preferred by those in the know; as real sugar cane is used instead of high fructose corn syrup.
I remember Coke II as well...
Man was that stuff gross
I totally agree with you on the Mexican coke. Much better tasting.
@@charlottesometimes6853 Sometimes you can get it in glass bottles without the Mexican label, glass makes it taste better too, less carbonation is put in so you can actually taste it
@@lilyofshalott really? Here where I live the only ones sold in glass is Mexican Coke, Sprite or Fanta orange. I wish I could try others.
While visiting the US, my friend and I decided to try Mexican Coke and we both did blind taste tests and to our shock, we both preferred American Coke.
I like the way you transition from language use in marketing to a language teaching ad.
Thank you for reporting this!
Nahhhh this editing is 🔥🔥🔥
So much quality!!!
Awesome content as always 👏👏
I'm disappointed in people for there being more outrage in Coca-Cola for changing their flavor rather in the other atrocities the company has done.
Notice how the video author never offers anything but accusations. That's because there's no proof that most of that mudslinging is true. This video is yellow journalism, tabloid reporting.
The way this video is framed especially at the end it’s like coke sponsored it
Because they are addicted to sugar. they don't care who suffers as long as they get their fix.
People are Jelousy about flavor
That word you used...I do not think it means what you think it means.
In spring of 1971, I was given a tour inside a coke cola bottling plant that slowly had about 5 percent of the bottles being bottled in "non-returnable" bottles that were slowly were coming in, instead of using returnable bottles (you get .3-cents back then on returning a returnable soda pop bottle). In the early 1980's plastic bottling started with the 2-liter plastic bottles, then, years later, included everything...including vehical car bumpers started to be plastic.
Then when they started bottling water it quickly became the world's number one pollutant
And now in the ocean and in landfills that we've got plastic plastic plastic all over. We need to go back to Glass and have returnable bottle
My ass is made of glass can I get a return policy
I remember before the Clintons took the presidency, there was public service adds on tv on: Limit plastic use! It's Bad!
Then Clinton, adds stopped and EVERYTHING started being Plastic.
I've always wondered Who benefited from that and How?
That change in mentality has fkd up this earth.
Truly Sad.
I liken it to car companies bribing local politicians to stop train services in favor of "everyone owning a personal vehicle!" and where that's led us. ( watched PBS show explaining that)
People=Politicians = Greed= end of human life ... but hey, Some get temporary benefits from it huh? To hell with everyone else.
Sorry. I thought: the older I got the better life would be... it's not. It's way worse.
The glass bottled coca-cola is delicious and perfectly fine to drink in moderation if you get the ones that still use cane sugar. In California, you can easily get these imported brands from Mexico. They are also available in other countries like Brazil and Mexico.. This video fails to leave out Coca-Cola's biggest flaw...substituting cane sugar for high fructose corn syrup (see my full comment). Their second biggest fault was going to plastic.
Personally I could never understand what so addictive is Coca-Cola as a drink. The last time I drank one was more than 20 years ago, it wasn't terrible, but nothing special enough for me to pick up another one (the one I drank was even free from a school factory tour).
Thanks! I already knew most of this, but your presentation was both entertaining and informative. Personally, I never drink Coke, although it used to be Bacardi and Coke every day! Now, I dislike both, but I never could stand Pepsi. Each to his own, i suppose, and tastes do change, despite advertising.
@Ricky Barber Due to recent developments, I had a blood test and found that my sugars were WAY high. Doctor asked if I drank a lot. Now I'm blaming it al on orange Fanta (and dark rum). So I've given up both.
I’ve discovered ginger beer and bourbon, with a healthy squeeze of bottle lime juice. Safeway brand ginger beer is tastiest and best price.
@@mtn1793 I like Moscow Mules-- vodka, ginger beer and lime. The problem is I cannot find a good ginger beer anymore. They all have way too much sugar and are way overpriced ridiculously priced! It's not the same ginger beer that we had in the 70s.
@@desertodavid Try signature brand ginger beer, 12 oz cans. The flavor is great and the price is right. When I want less sweet I cut the mix with lime seltzer. Their 6oz bottles aren’t worth it tho, for price or taste.
@Ricky Barber 9
This is my favorite video documentary. incredible work!
So where did the cocaine in coke come from? Back in the 1980's I read something about the early days of coke, that it originally had cocaine as an ingredient.
That’s where the name Coke came from, I heard. It was used in pharmacies to settle stomachs.
I went to a health seminar years ago. The doctors were talking about Coke. They said the reason Coca Cola has so much sugar is the mask the high level of salt. It is probably like many types of drinks. You have to drink in moderation.
55mg of salt in a 16.9 oz bottle is a high level of salt? You are silly.
@@BitsndBobs Its the flavor. The sugar overrides the salt flavor.
@@evil1st if you listened to the video, the purpose of the sugar is to counteract the bitter taste of soda water.
I remember the history of Coca Cola. It was a special on TV. I was shocked to learn that cocaine was also an ingrediant in the drink. It was removed years later. I don't drink sugary drinks. I'm A1C diabetic now and never drink any of those sugary drinks. Do your research on sugar and you'll find it's in almost everything you buy.
fyi there's no such thing as an A1c diabetic. there is type 1 which is 'born with diabetes' and type 2 which is 'acquired later in life diabetes.' A1c is merely a blood test for long term (3 mos) monitoring of diabetics, any kind.
Because sugar kills
So much for the concern the FDA has for the American consumer..............
@@johnhummer265 time to take off the tinfoil hat buddy
I recently bought a Makita power sander. Imagine my relief when I got it home and discovered it was sugar-free! I sure thanked the baby Jesus that night.
As a video editor i have to say, the editting is impressive. The presentation, the atmosphere, the detective like feel and the approach all work. Tv documentary makers must be sweating profusely while watching this puppy.
Same! Aftereffects artist here. My brain hurt watching all those endless animations. This cost big money if done by a third party.

The editing so great! How much is it coast to edit one episode for this channel?
I never drink regular coke. That high fructose corn syrup poison they use in place of sugar just makes you want to drink 3X more of the stuff to get the same glucose sensation. I know this from switching my drink to stevia cherry coke about a year ago. Just one can of that stuff satisfies me. Yet both coke and pepsi continue to use aspartame in their diet drinks - another nasty ingredient. I'm 50 and pushing 300 lbs so I do need to look at what goes into my body. As a company you just cannot talk about offering people "healthier" drink options in 2022 and NOT HAVE any stevia based soda.
No soda is good for you.. It’s all bad
all new things are a good idea, until they're not.
"I am 300lbs and need to look at what goes into my body" while drinking diet sodas, which are even worse than regular. I find it hilarious watching all the obese people drinking diet sodas thinking they are being healthy. 🤣🤣🤣
Coke taste like poison since I stopped sotas.
@@redrustyhill2 yes be careful about diet anything . I even stopped chewing gum unless I buy one with stevia . For 65 my dentist says my teeth are in great shape . Artificial sweeteners poison , also too much sugar . Keep up the good work . One day at a time 👏👏
I'm glad you pointed out this history isn't uncommon for large brands that have been around for a decent amount of time. As awful as all this sounds, it's too common of a story. Especially the environmental destruction and human abuses in other countries. Many of the countries listed are so commonly harmed by large companies.
Even as a little kid, I thought regular sodas were gross lol. I compared them to drinking a bottle of maple syrup and wanted nothing to do with that insanity. Yuck. As an adult, I've learned to tolerate a can of coke or vanilla coke if I'm super thirsty and don't have any better options, but I'd rather not. I grew up on Diet Pepsi. I'm not sure I've ever been in a situation where Pepsi was my only option... so I'm not sure I ever drank it. But Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke. And, well... Dasani and Aquafina taste like gross tap water sooo...
Diet soda is the worst kind to drink
Dasani and Aquafina are waters I've always avoided . just an unpleasant taste.
Wait what, you actually think pepsi is better for your health than coca cola?
Why americans choose between sht & sht?
Just drink water and eat fruits
@@israelpnmjpena732Did you watch the video?
I can remember watching Jeff Gordon win a NASCAR race, then get out of his car, take a big gulp of Coca-Cola, and hold the bottle while being interviewed.
I was browsing my UA-cam when i saw your profile and decided to say hello to you. I hope we can become good friends? I hope to get a good response from you 🌹🌹🌹
Probably got paid alotta $$$ from Coke.
I thought Jeff Gordon was always sponsored by Pepsi tbh. Gonna have to Google it now. 😆
Wow im loving this channel! The info and the edits. Very interesting to me. Thank you
In the 50's Coke bragged that it "Gives you a lift" I was hooked on em too. Then the govt banned the use of coca and that was the end of the fun factor in Coke.
There was a documentary years ago that I think was just called "The Cola Wars". (Not the newer one on the History channel.)
I remember taping it in the late 90's and it was several hours. (Sadly I no longer have it.)
It covered so much of the dirty laundry between Coke and Pepsi.
This vid made me think of that.
There is a consistent sound in this video that sounds like someone a floor below slamming against the wall. Like at 9:53
Surprised you didn't mention "Bite the wax tadpole" which is what Coca Cola means when translated into Japan. That's why things in Japan were slow to catch on. There's a bunch of marketing mistakes like that, such as the Chevy Nova, which couldn't be sold in Spanish-speaking countries because in Spanish, "No va" literally means "doesn't go."
It's actually Chinese 🤦🏻♂️
Someone beat me to it, but China.
hahaha omg i never thought of chevy nova like that

The flaw in blind taste tests is this: if a sip of A tastes better than B, it doesn't follow that the same effect will be experienced when drinking a full can/bottle or more. I recall drinking the new Coke and experiencing a bit of sweetness overload--which I wouldn't have with a single sip. I suspect my experience was not atypical for cola drinkers who preferred Coke to Pepsi. If we Coke drinkers wanted a sweeter cola, we'd have become Pepsi drinkers already.
What no one talks about is when coke changed the formula, they did it without you noticing. Original coke was made with sugar. When new coke came out,they went back to classic coke, but it wasn't the same, they dropped sugar and added corn syrup and sucrose. And nobody noticed. It was much cheaper to make.
I’m pretty sure they also put cocaine in it a few years ago without anyone noticing
But I still enjoye+ it
Don't think for a minute I did not notice. I stopped drinking it when they did that mess. People tell me they can tell, but for some reason continue buying .
@@jenette16 Let me ask you, do you think it was all done on purpose as a publicity stunt? That is, do something so outrageous then switch back, but do the change with the sugar. If they just switched to corn syrup and people complained, they would have to go back to the expensive sugar, but doing it this way, people didn't noticed and over time they will save billions
@@wurly164 wouldn't put it past them. Public is easy to manipulate. My son and his friends will only get "mexican" coke, they say it is with real sugar and is better. I wouldn't really know on that. We are a strange lot for sure.
Man I absolutely love your videos!! They are all so very intriguing and interesting, really like how you break everything down into chapters as well. Very well thought out and you seem to do a lot of research. Also love the illustrations you pick good pictures and little clips of videos, they all work very well together and really help bring it all together. Thank for doing a great job keep it up I watch these all the time!!
I remember how Pepsi tried an ad campaign with the taste test in Finland in the 90s. There were TV ads showing the blind taste test, with everyone choosing Pepsi over "another cola" (i.e. Coca Cola). But then Pepsi made the mistake of bringing those blind test booths among the public, letting real people do the taste test. I came across the booth at Helsinki railway station, and the "another cola" had the vast majority of votes, with Finns clearly preferring Coke over Pepsi.
I think most of the test tasters were actors
When I tried the taste test at a booth I remember I preferred Pepsi.
@@history-jovian Umm, that's exactly what I was saying. That even though according to this video Americans tend to prefer Pepsi in the blind test, in Finland only the actors in the TV ads chose Pepsi. The real people, i.e. those that weren't characters portrayed by actors, in great numbers chose "another cola", with only some votes for Pepsi.
Yes, most do prefer Coke such as myself. And yes they are all evil.
I remember the taste challenge too. I tried it in a grocery store, I think. I could tell by sight which one was Coke, because it has more carbonation. In that sense, the test was flawed. What this also means is that the higher soda water to syrup ratio lowers the sugar levels. Currently: Coke 39g, Pepsi 41g, and RC 42g (per 12 oz.) All sugar bombs.
Keep up the amazing work! I’ve been binging this channel nonstop 😁
I greatly enjoyed this video and the excellent production. Your extra hard work shines brightly, and I couldn't wait to watch it. I was not disappointed. Bravo!
The introduction of "new" Coke occurred in 1985 or 1986. I was working at a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, and I was a Coke fan. To me, New Coke tasted flat and old, like the last swallows from a can that had set out open for a couple of days. I find it hard to believe that people would prefer it in a taste test. With all of the earlier deceptions and advertising gimmicks of this company, they seemed to get away with their shadiness.
My job was to accept commercials to be aired, send them to the production studio, and make sure they were aired according to their contract. The uproar over New Coke forced the last minute production of new spots that would air over the weekend. I spent most of Friday night pulling the current spots and waiting for the new spots to be produced and delivered and prepared to air ASAP over the weekend.
Your videos are so impressive. You can tell that they are well researched. They are factual and informative. I love the visuals.Keep it up ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank God I am now 2 years/8 months soda free. By just dropping my daily soda intake (8-10 cans a day of Coke/Cherry Pepsi) & changing my diet, I went from 309 lbs to 220 lbs in about eight months.
I’ve always said I don’t know what is in soda, but to me, my soda addiction was like any other drug/alcohol addiction. Almost 3 years later, I STILL will have cravings & dreams about having just one soda. But I know I can’t. I have stopped drinking soda a few other times in my life for a few months here & there but would have “just one” & then within a month “one” a week was up to one an hour. Finally now I know I can never have “just one” and my waist/heart/teeth thank me for that every day!
Great historical content!! To all in their soda struggle, I wish you success in breaking the habit!!
