I wonder why the story writer failed to mention the Coca Cola provided to the Nazis.
We had 2 jabs at the ready on the subs, atropine and morphine.
No Coke, “bug juice” and coffee.
Aww Jeeze...
Sorry I still believe Georgia should have the right to determine their own elections, so I still won’t drink their crap.
Coca Cola went woke years ago.
Actually the syrup was cut off to Nazi Germany, so the German bottler was forced to create another beverage-an orange soda called “Fanta”.
I’ll take a morphine, to go...
Weird photo above.
They are not actually drinking it but just have the bottle up to their lips.
After the war started Coca-Cola lost control of their German bottling. The company was forced to supply soda to civilians by the government. But they had to do it without coke, as the syrup supply was cut off. So they invented Fanta. So what you’re saying is only half true.

they also gave the boys plenty of cigarettes. Everyone that came out of the service smoked.
And they called the Nazis racist? Man! I luv orange drank! Purple drank too...
;)
I thought that Fanta was the German replacement for Coca Cola products.
One of the funniest movies of all time!
Peripetchikoff : No formula, NO DEAL!
C.R. MacNamara : OK, NO DEAL!
Borodenko : We do not need you! If we want Coca-cola, we invent it ourselves!
C.R. MacNamara : Oh, yeah? In 1956 you flew a bottle of Coke to a secret laboratory in Sverdlosk. A dozen of your top chemists went nuts trying to analyze the ingredients. Right?
Mishkin : No comment!
C.R. MacNamara : And in 1958, you planted two undercover agents in Atlanta to steal the formula. And what happened? They both defected! And now they’re successful businessmen in Florida packaging instant borscht. Right?
Peripetchikoff : No comment!
C.R. MacNamara : Last year you put out a cockamamie imitation “Kremlin-kola!” You tried it out in the satellite countries, but even the Albanians wouldn’t drink it. They used it for SHEEP DIP! RIGHT?
Mishkin : No comment!
C.R. MacNamara : So either get down to business or get off the pot!
Peripetchikoff : My dear American friend, if we are to live together in peaceful coexistence, there must be a certain amount of give and take.
C.R. MacNamara : Oh, sure - we give and you take.
Peripetchikoff : What is the matter - you do not trust us?
C.R. MacNamara : No comment!
And that occasional coca-cola had by young men as a small comfort during a time of stress and privation gave them very warm memories for the drink when they got home.
Intended or not, it was a fantastic marketing exercise, and made the Coca-Cola brand for the next 20 years.
