im weirdly knowlagable in the history of soda i dont even drink soda why do i know so much about it
coke and pepsi taste different because coke was invent before refrigeration so it was designed to be drunk warm, while pepsi was designed after refrigeration was invented so it was designed to be drunk cold. as a result the tastes are different but if you drink pepsi cold and coke warm theyll taste the same.
Why the fuck do you know this
i honestly have no idea
coke’s recipe was originally green but the designers made it brown so it looked more like tea
Had they never seen green tea?
i dont even know if green tea was invented in 1886 but they wanted to make the public more open to eating the fizzy drink
i will trade u information abt bees and carrier pigeons for information abt the history of soda
no one knows where the origin of the name ‘7up’ started but it did have a mood stabilizer in the original recipe found in present day anti-depressants
i want facts about bees and carrier pigeons now
Carrier pigeons come from a species of Wild Rock pigeon, and their flights could be as long as 1800 km and were used as early as 3000 years ago.
You know in old cartoons where a character throws a beehive at someone, and you think ‘lol, but that wouldn’t work in real life’. Turns out it would, and did. People used to lob beehives at the approximate location of the enemy forces to expose them.
this is amazing thank you
Threads like this are pretty much the reason I come to Tumblr
Coca-Cola was originally green because it was brewed with coca leaves (5 ounces of coca leaves to a gallon of syrup in the original formulation). They still use extractive of coca leaf as a flavoring, but the alkaloid has been removed. (Coca-Cola is the only company in the US licensed to import coca leaves, a fact I learned from John Sculley’s book on “The Cola Wars” - he said PepsiCo had reverse-engineered the formula for Coke and were ready to market it as “Savannah Cola” during the New Coke debacle in the ‘80s, but they couldn’t get legal access to coca leaves, so that plan flopped.) I also read online that they now use kola nut extract rather than actual kola nuts, as of 2016.
My family keeps rushing me to get out of my room. I’m about to send this in a mass text so they’ll stop talking to me. They don’t even like me so like what difference does it make if I chill in my room in a towel for another 20 minutes?
