Cheerwine was founded in Salisbury. wow, didn't know that either! yet, the state "was" known for tobacco products rather than soft drinks. soft drinks would've been a better label than cigarettes... |

Coca-cola was invented in Atlanta Ga. She’s talking about the bottling company being founded in Greensboro.

Hopefully we brokered the deal as a business deal not just a "community support" deal. I see that funding is coming from both the company and the foundation.

Coca-cola was invented in Atlanta Ga. She’s talking about the bottling company being founded in Greensboro. Correct May 8, 1886, the world's first Coca-Cola was served at Jacobs' Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the creation of Dr. John Pemberton as a tonic for common ailments..i.e CoCaine 😋 Cola 😆 Pepsi Cola New Bern Cherrwine Salisbury. But the most favorite drink in North Carolina is Root Beer 🍺 😆🤣😂 |
