4:38
remember the Mean Joe Greene promotional
4:40
material
4:41
whoa the fault is wide open and I go
4:43
check out the secret ingredient I've
4:44
always wanted to know they say the early
4:53
bird gets the worm maybe I'll get the
4:55
secret formula no no you will get very
4:58
close to it we do my best if you don't
5:01
see it all right the magic formula is
5:08
within reach totally within reach just
5:12
three weeks after its debut this ad
5:14
appeared in the Atlanta Journal can I
5:18
create the perfectly balanced taste now
5:22
I do know the meaning of tart and sweet
5:25
and spicy and mild but what exactly does
5:30
silky taste like full-on well I can't go
5:34
full on that's as silky as it gets right
5:37
there that's as silky as it gets
5:46
notice how was once referred to as the
5:46
most refreshing drink in the world back
5:50
in 1888 ASA Griggs Candler decided to
5:54
buy shares of the company three years
5:56
later he was the sole owner paid twenty
5:59
three hundred dollars to acquire the
6:01
rights to the formulas now that shipped
6:05
in red oak barrels by a horse-drawn
6:08
carriage the customers would know it was
6:10
on his way by the clip-clop of the feet
6:13
silhouette on this wall was telling the
6:15
story not only written out but also some
6:18
ghost-like creatures from the past
6:22
imitation is the sincerest form of
6:24
flattery
6:25
there will always be imposters however
6:28
not sure how celery Cola would go down
6:31
even a five hundred dollar reward was
6:33
offered for information of those who
6:35
were bottling it under the incorrect
6:37
name okay is it real impostor that's an
6:42
imposter
6:42
that's the magic flirt went around in
6:45
there what's what's happening one thing
6:46
that's a busy I was just drinking some
6:49
of this is it a clever ploy or a
6:52
marketing mistake security cameras
6:55
everywhere they don't want this
6:58
information getting out secret formula
7:02
security system get bubble eyes be part
7:06
of this secret hole I mean bubble eyes
7:09
look my part of the biz I'm part of the
7:14
I'm leaving now wading through the
7:17
bubbles
7:18
waving and waving through the bubbles
7:21
I'm part of the Misiones here
7:31
there it is the secret formula for
7:35
coca-cola
7:36
I gotcha
7:46
Oh being with the coca-cola company
7:54
would you sponsor the Olympic Games we
7:56
are actually the longest-running sponsor
7:58
mr. games that mafia 1928 Amsterdam
8:01
games that would you sponsor the Olympic
8:03
torch relay now I'd like to ask this do
8:06
we design a torches we do not but what
8:08
we do see supplies on the runners when
8:09
they do the relay they're not passing
8:11
towards next or best possible plane so
8:13
this is my all-time favorite one and not
8:15
just because because of firm Atlanta
8:16
it's going to be the Atlanta torch to
8:18
1996 gold that is mightier in in Georgia
8:21
the wood is from a pecan tree because we
8:23
countries Harding they dotrice of
8:25
Georgia details actually in a center
8:26
mostly about their Georgia Syrian to be
8:28
a little bit more towards the bottom now
8:30
the reason why they did that the last
8:31
person like restarting is was the
8:33
Mohammed I leave the famous boxer having
8:35
Parkinson's disease
8:36
shakin a lot and put that hand on is
8:38
there any easier can we use your mouth
8:39
hold it yes sir don't run very cool now
8:42
let's think about the London towards the
8:44
shapes of the shape of the triangle to
8:46
represent you now you can oppose the
8:47
games three times also we enter the
8:49
outer circles twelve eight thousand
8:51
circles to represent the eight thousand
8:53
retina participate in that relay so you
8:56
just hold this anywhere yeah it's not
8:58
really a handle and I run around about
9:00
like out of 10 minutes or so it's like
9:01
less than a mile as they get pretty warm
9:04
and you're holding it down here at this
9:05
end there's not that warrants it lift
9:07
the tank up here seems like a gasoline
9:10
for being kept out the top right over
9:11
here now what's neat about the basic
9:13
towards the way that the Chinese people
9:15
like to hold each other
9:17
each other's by thoroughbred so when
9:19
you're holding the Beijing torch only by
9:20
like the ill have the risk
9:21
I like rather just slide it down a
9:23
little right there get sarcastic grip up
9:25
there yeah
9:34
like the fire with this Salt Lake City
9:34
2002
9:44
sponsoring the games until the 2032
9:44
Olympic Games lips makes it a hundred or
9:46
four years that was excellent thanks for
9:50
sharing all the information yeah let me
9:51
hold us yeah yeah can't believe this is
9:55
happening it's not every day I get to
9:56
meet an animal that enjoys you know
9:59
tipping back an icy cold coca-cola
10:01
you're a bear after my own heart
10:03
how many do you drink a day how many
10:06
would you say total you drink a day five
10:10
that's a lot
10:12
you're never thirsty ever are you
10:15
delicious right you're taller than me oh
10:18
you're gonna oh I'm not a coke there's
10:23
no bottle top up here there's an Burton
10:26
tinkering with the formula get that new
10:29
soft drink all in order here we've seen
10:31
a lot of paraphernalia and my day but
10:33
that might be the first Cola kite I've
10:36
ever seen behind the soda fountain
10:38
counter service with a smile
10:40
back in this era bottles were only a
10:42
nickel check it out back in the early
10:46
1900s they even produce and distributed
10:48
some chewing gum also around that time
10:51
there was something called a decorative
10:52
fob that was attached to pocket watches
10:55
that's a word you don't use too much off
10:57
too often anymore
10:59
some sheet music for a song called the
11:01
palms you would mail offer this what
11:05
she's thinking she's got like a devilish
11:06
grin in it beside view look he's staring
11:09
at me after a while for some carriages
11:12
we're not needed anymore in automobiles
11:14
came into the picture
11:15
like this 1939 Chevrolet panel van
11:18
certainly diving into history headfirst
11:33
some serious Americana food retro
11:33
vending machines that's even some novels
11:36
coming out of that bear will just bounce
11:37
it out right from the barrel the sound
11:39
of refreshment open the door close it
11:44
step back and see if we can hear the
11:46
noises okay that's a good weather that
11:50
would not so good sign overload signs
11:54
everywhere besides a ping-pong set
11:57
compliments of the company Table Tennis
12:00
it's another word for it gone through a
12:03
lot of slogans through their history one
12:05
of them you can't beat the pause that
12:08
refreshes this really makes me want to
12:11

12:29

12:30
of the gorge this is where the magic
12:33
a demonstration of how it all works
12:36

12:44
there they go slowly going by making
12:44
their way to be filled that is pretty
12:47
dang cool you can see them being filled
12:49
back then they're going to have a tat
13:18
down there it feels right at home around
13:21
the perimeter or some very decorated
13:23
items looking out or in depending on
13:26
which way which way you perceive it even
13:28
a topiary version awaits outside in that
13:31
little courtyard area made of grass and
13:33
foliage oh dang a walking vending
13:37
machine of the toy persuasion that is
13:40
cool would be pretty fantastic down

14:39
if you enjoyed this particular episode
14:40
give it a big thumbs up lets me know you
14:44
care there is a bit of a nostalgia
14:47
factor when I think of coca-cola my
14:49
grandfather used to work for the company
14:51
as a truck driver so when we go back to
14:54
visit family for Christmas in
14:56
Mississippi I would go to his home and
14:58
as a youth would go into the fridge I'd
15:01
pull out an 8 ounce maybe it was a 10
15:03
ounce bottle go over to the counter you
15:05
know I thought it was the coolest thing
15:06
to take to take that glass item and just
15:10
shove it against the calendar pop the
15:12
top I was felt like the king of the
15:15
world at my grandpa's house tipping back
15:18
an ice cold coca-cola and he had a lot
15:21
of the mementos a lot of stuff they have
15:23
in there the antiques he had you know a
15:26
little stuff laying around the house so
15:28
it brings back fond memories plus
15:30
Americana at its finest to love rural
15:33
America driving through small towns and
15:36
seeing those old classic coca-cola
15:38
signage painted on the side of brick so
15:42
always fun to stop off the places like
15:44
this I'll see you in the next video the
15:46
vlog is over
