“Coca-Cola remains emblematic of the best and worst of America and Western civilization. The history of Coca-Cola is the often funny story of a group of men obsessed with putting a trivial soft drink "within an arm's reach of desire." But at the same time, it is a microcosm of American history. Coca-Cola grew up with the country, shaping and shaped by the times. The drink not only helped to alter consumption patterns, but attitudes toward leisure, work, advertising, sex, family life, and patriotism.” MenCountryStoriesAmericaDesireSexAttitudeGroupsWorstArmsGrewDrinkCivilizationGrew UpRemainsWesternPatternsAdvertisingObsessedLeisureAmerican HistoryConsumptionFamily LifeWestern CivilizationMicrocosmCoca ColaFunny StorySoft Drinks Author:Mark Pendergrast

“I used to go into pubs and people would want to pick a fight with me. I would hear a group of girls say: 'Oh look, there's Pat Cash.' And then one of them would come up to me and say, 'You think you're so good,' and throw a drink in my face. That kind of reaction from people was a bit of a shock initially, and you don't ever really get used to it.” PeopleThinkingWantLooksKindFacesUsedGirlFightingBitsGroupsDrinkPicksCome UpReactionsShockCashPubs Author:Pat Cash
“I was very healthy from a young age. I was always known as the healthy kid in my group of friends. My mom had us drink barley-grass powder, and I've taken vitamins and fish oil and multivitamins since I was a kid. My mom just had me doing that for a long, long time. And I enjoy eating healthy.
