About Me

If your last meal would include a tall cold glass of me then we need to be friends!I was created in 1886 as a nerve tonic by a former Confederate soldier, Dr John Smith Pemberton. My original name, "Pemberton's French Wine Coca," wasn't very catchy....plus, those Temperance people didn't dig the fact that I was originally sweetened with wine. Once I got sweetened with sugar, though, the masses went wild! Frank Robinson gave me my name because not only was I made from extracts of coca leaves and cola nuts (GET IT??), but alliteration is super catchy. Robinson also designed my logo. Don't you think he was super talented? I do. Anyway, I became really popular at the turn of the century, because I wasn't an alcoholic beverage (keeping those wacky teetotallers happy), but also because...and this became my slogan!...I am DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING. I have a uniquely-shaped bottle, which fits comfortably in your hand when you're chugging me down on a hot day.There are pretenders to the throne, yeah - but when it comes down to it, I'm simply the best soda you can guzzle down your gullet. After all, everyone from polar bears to Santa Claus laud my existence...and dentists everywhere can thank me for giving them business. Would you like to buy the world a Coke? I sure would! Except it's hard, because I'm a delicious fizzy liquid.

My Interests

making people drink me, philanthropy, being fizzy, being kosher for Passover, causing smiles

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who does not find me delicious, so I can change their minds and make them drink me!

Music:

"I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke" by those multicultural kids on that hill, "Lola" by the Kinks, "Rum And Coca-Cola" by the Andrews Sisters, "Common People," by Blur (rum and I make a cameo in the lyrics!!!!!!)

Television:

All the stuff I sponsor and all the stuff that sponsors me. Also, I enjoy "Matlock" re-runs.

Heroes:

Bette Davis, who had a Coke machine installed in Joan Crawford's dressing room during the filming of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" Joan Crawford was married to Alfred Steele at the time....and Alfred Steele was the CEO of Pepsi. Bette, you RULE MY HEART! Also, everyone who is addicted to me. I couldn't do it without you, guys!
