Claim: Coca-Cola was originally green.
Status: False
Origins: Though this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an Internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.
Brown also hides impurities in any given batch, something the backroom chemist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886 kept well in mind as he proceeded with his formulation. These days syrup producers and bottlers have no impurities to hide, but back in the "three copper kettles in somebody's basement" days, covering up what might have inadvertently dropped into the mix was a concern, and brown hid indiscretions remarkably well.
Coke has at times been bottled in green glass bottles, which perhaps explains the popularity of this particular rumor.
nice job R! I stand corrected on the coca cola. I shoulda checked my "facts" :-)
I got 1 and 2 correct but only because I guessed. Have a great weekend Lisa!!
Here are some questions about your questions!
1. Do frogs really have hands?
2. Who costs consumers more with their shoplifting? men or women?
3. True or false? Coke will remove rust from a car?
4. Why would you want to bring a cow upstairs?
5. What states are the largest producers of the three fruits?
Well I went with
Left
Women
Brown
Cow
and I don't have a clue other than blackberry.
Very interesting way to start the weekend.
guessing is good Matt-man!
R, I will be back to answer those.
Jamie, good answers. have a great weekend!
Interesting little tidbits there Lisa!
R, your answers.
1. of course they do! but because some frogs have webbed hands it is harder for them to do certain things. like, play pick up sticks.
2.men
3.true
4. well, normally, cows live on the ground floor but one day, it rained, and rained, and rained and the ground floor flooded so the cows had to go upstairs so they wouldn't drown. and then they were stuck. until Farmer Bob and his two hefty sons lifted them down. so the only time you would want to bring a cow upstairs is if it rains a lot.
5. no clue. I'll guess new york, massachussets, and michigan.
hi Julie!
Are the hand smore tender than the legs? Do they serve frog hands or just the legs? Seems like a waste to me!
I'll take your word for it. So women shoplift more inexpensive things?
Tis true! Althought they say any soda will work due to the acid content. And that Coke leaves a sticky sugary residue!
Being from Chicago, several years ago there were a couple arrests made at the Farm at the Zoo at Lincoln Park Zoo for people having "relations" with the cows!
Surprisingly, Wisconsin produces about HALF of the US' annual cranberry craop; Michigan and New Jersey produce 66% of blueberries; and Washington followed by other western states is responsible for over half a million tons of the grapes.
no, the hands are very tough and I hear they taste like pork.
uh huh.
think of what coke does to your stomach...
ewwwwww.
interesting! thanks for the info.
Random search found this page. Where are the answers??? Ahhhhh? :O)
Anyway - regarding the Coca Cola issue, I feel people may be getting confused with their strange facts here.
The confusion seems, to me, to be founded somewhere in that Santa Claus was origingally dressed in GREEN and white. He now appears in RED due to an advertising campaign by Coca Cola who dressed him in their corporate colours.
