Pemberton's first attempt at Coca Cola

[sc1101]

I found this Wine Coca bottle made by Pemberton up for auction. Awesome piece of pre Coca Cola history. Reserve at $5000.00

This bottle ended up selling for almost 14,000.

Wow, that's crazy, but it's a great piece of history.

Along the lines, this full episode is finally available online, I have been waiting to post it up here.  Comedy Central has a show called 'Drunk History' where they get historians ripped and have famous actors act out their drunk stories.  The Atlanta episode featured Pemberton and his Coca-Cola recipe, pretty funny stuff.

Nerve tonic, health restorer, and stimulant.  Jee, I wonder why they took the cocaine out. 

Very Cool bottle.  I just threw out a case of those laying around the house.  I thought they were garbage.  Now I know how Picasos mother felt when she threw away all those pictures on her refrigerator that Pablo scribbled when he was a kid.
