Not made up. My mother was from Mississippi (she “ran off and married a Yankee”, as my maternal grandfather would say of her marriage to a Pennsylvanian) and whenever I visited family down there and listened to the old folks’ talk, they ALL had stories about how they turned down offers to buy Coca-Cola stock at the beginning. Apparently, Coca-Cola was the Apple of its day and made many Southern investors quite wealthy. But, even as a small child, I quickly realized they were just BS one another.
Anyhow, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
