Which soft drink was originally marketed as a temperance drink?
Correct answer: Coca-Cola
Sophi
Years back I’ve watched the documentary about Coca-Cola and the fact that in Mexico they own the sources of the fresh water so people living there just drink coke and give it to their kids from toddlers because water is more expensive there. I’ve never touched the coke since and happy to never drink it again.

Was it the temperance drink because it actually had cocaine in it,, that is why it became so popular but the author left that out !!!

Bijou, yeah addiction to Coke (cocaine “coca leaves”) is no joke

Player #94103631, sure explains its popularity!

I was taught that at the beginning, it contained cocaine, hence the first syllable. Not until the drugs were regulated was it removed. Since then the company has tried to distance itself from the drug association. the 'coco' referred to was made illegal and so now they don't mention what part of the coco plant it contained.

LIKE OF THE COCA COLA.
Player Say what!?
Player #23222557, I figured they'd leave that out. Too controversial? Never heard temperance being used, but back in the day, the ads said, "the pause that refreshes".
