Blog # 7: The Allegory of The Cave in Coca Cola

There was a time in history in which people lived in an illusion of the benefits that the original Coca-Cola brought to them. Coca-Cola was originally made by John Pemberton with cocaine and wine called "French Wine Coca" claiming that the product help people think more clearly. Then in 1886 Pemberton changed the formula since the amount of alcohol and cocaine in the French Wine Coca was prohibited. Pemberton then remade the drink naming it today's "Coca-Cola" claiming it helps cure "headaches and upset stomachs." The Coca-Cola drinks became popular due to its claim to help reduce pain. Even when Coca-Cola is discovered to not have any effects on helping reduce any headaches or upset stomachs, it is still remain as today's popular soft drink.
