THE DARK HISTORY OF COCA-COLA: MARKETING OVER MATTER
Dive into the fascinating and disturbing history behind America’s favorite beverage. From its cocaine-laced origins in the 1880s to its controversial dealings during WWII, discover how Coca-Cola built an empire not by selling sugar water, but by marketing happiness itself.
In this video, we explore:
• How John Pemberton’s cocaine-containing “French Wine Coca” evolved into the world’s most recognized brand
• Coca-Cola’s surprising role during WWII – supporting American troops while simultaneously creating Fanta for Nazi Germany
• The psychological phenomenon behind the New Coke disaster of 1985 – when marketing power overrode actual taste preferences
• The company’s modern controversies including environmental damage, water theft, and public health concerns
The most powerful product in Coca-Cola’s arsenal isn’t the drink itself – it’s the idea they’ve sold us for over a century. This is the story of how a carbonated beverage became something much more potent: an illusion so compelling it shapes our very perceptions.
