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.

Sorry I still believe Georgia should have the right to determine their own elections, so I still won’t drink their crap.

Weird photo above.

They are not actually drinking it but just have the bottle up to their lips.

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.

I take it that Ethan Tyrell at 'cracked.com' is getting paid by Woke-a-Cola to pander to audiences using WWII nationalism.

Woke-a-Cola is a globalist korporation that went racist woke and needs to disappear for it. We have enough foreign enemies and don't need those who would profit from divisive lies.

The beginning of the end of Coca-Cola, up to this point they were the epitomé of what made this country great....

Then they went "Global".

So what? Did you know that at one time Pepsi had the sixth largest navy in world (primarily submarines)?

There was a good reason coke was made available to the GI’s on the front line in the 40’s. The recipe for Coca cola was not released until the 1970’s by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Part of the products in it was fluid extract of coca.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains that thousands of years ago people in South American began to chew and ingest coca leaves, which is the source of cocaine, for their stimulant effects.

So it not only hyped the soldiers, it improved their attitude along with it.

Little did the servicemen in that photo know that one day their children and grandchildren would be deemed “too white” for Coke.

Not only that, Coca Cola made M2 receivers that are still in use today.

This was back when Coca Cola was a patriotic American company before it became Woca Cola.
