had the first public reading in the

26
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.520

it built over in England and shipped
over here. It got here in seventeen

29
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.120
fifty one. Now, before they
hoisted it onto the roof, they decided

30
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.520
to get a little testing. Well, I cracked saw they had a couple

Who was born on July the eighth,

52
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.680
John Pemberton. He was born in
Knoxville, Georgia in eighteen thirty one.

53
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.040
You're in a medical degree by the
time he's nineteen years old. Then he

54
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.160
went to fight for the South in
the Civil War. During a battle,

55
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.120
he was stabbed in the chest.
He led, but it caused a lifetime

56
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.959
of chronic pain. After the war, is working as a pharmacist and he

57
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.959
became addicted to morphine. So he's
trying to kill, you know, kicking

58
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.439
himself getting off the morphine. So
he's coming up and trying all these different

59
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.560
concoctions to see what he could do
well. One day accidentally mixed carbonated water

60
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.560
with the concoction he was working on. I knew it wasn't medicine, but

61
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.279
it tasted really good and it made
a good fountain drink. So coca cola

62
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.680
was born. Now, the original
coke, it did have nine bilograms of

63
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.319
cocaine in it, just to give
you a little perspective. A typical line

64
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:00.160
of cocaine that people snort and cane
tains around fifty to seventy milligrams. Now

65
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.639
after Pemberton, you know, of
course he didn't kick the morphine, but

66
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.319
he ended up getting stomach cancer.
