What you didn't know about Coca-Cola

I have to admit to drinking far too much Coca-Cola. Almost every health authority says Coke is filled with unnecessary sugar, and drinking a lot of it is inevitably detrimental to your health. But I think I've found a way to justify continuing to imbibe the drink. Just look at this ad from the 1890s. Contrary to everything we hear today, I'm sure it's telling us the real truth about "The Real Thing". Ideal Brain Tonic! Cures Headaches! Relieves Mental and Physical Exhaustion! Obviously, Coke is first and foremost a great medicine. In fact, with all that medicinal power in it, you should probably have to get a prescription to drink it. At least now I no longer need to feel guilty when I guzzle a big glass of Coke.
