The Second World War is still an unforgettable history, the largest war of mankind to date. In this war, many people have lost their cities, lost their homes, lost their loved ones, and many more have lost their lives. The person who provoked this war was Hitler, so he was also considered a demon. As we all know, the Asian theater could end in 1945, and a large part of the reason was that the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. The two atomic bombs directly destroyed two cities, and it was not only the United States that studied the atomic bombs in the first place.
Germany was the first to study, but their scientists only miscalculated some numbers, leading Germany to think that building an atomic bomb was impossible. And if you don't misrepresent those numbers, the result may be far opposite. Control would be on Hitler, who might mass-produce atomic bombs and materials that could be obtained from his occupying powers. Whoever provoked him could bomb the other side from time to time. Another is that Hitler won, and it is estimated that there will be no Coca-Cola in the world, and Coke will have to be replaced by an apple-flavored soda.
On May 8, 1886, because john Styce Pemberton banned alcohol, he thought of inventing a drink for many people who needed supplementation. By that time he had already invented it, the first cup tasted good, and when it was time to pour the second cup, his assistant accidentally added soda to it. John Styce Pemberton found that the taste had gotten better, and his partner Robinson found the inspiration for naming the ingredients of the syrup, and Coca-Cola was born. It was the world's first Coke, and then Asa Kandler saw the promise of it.
They made Coke into bottled drinks and sold them to countries around the world, before Germany could start World War II. Naturally, there was also Coke, and the Germans liked the drink very much, and they became the most loyal advocates of Coke. Of course, Coca-Cola also opened a distribution in Germany, and sales are better than in the United States. If you want to say why it sold so well, you have to talk about Henry Ford, the general manager of Coca-Cola's branch in Germany at the time.
This is still relatively business-minded, and Hillert's relationship with the United States after coming to power, although not particularly bad, is not very good. So the general manager, in order not to make the Nazis hate Coke from the United States, tried his best to please Hitler. Their symbol on Coke at that time was actually the symbol of the Nazi swastika, and their slogan was very similar to the slogan put forward by Hitler when he came to power, almost changing a Führer into a coke.
In this way, Hitler naturally did not ban it, so the German army also bought a lot of Coke to drink. However, with the beginning of World War II, the relationship between Germany and Germany was completely broken. In December 1941, the United States officially declared war on Germany. Naturally, the Coca-Cola Company could not offend the local company, so the head office in the United States stopped supplying raw materials to the German branch. In this way, the German branch has no raw materials, and there is no Coke, and the loss is huge. But the general manager is not willing to lose, and the method is figured out by people.
He set his mind on Fanta, an affiliated brand created in 1940. He began to recruit people to develop a cola-like drink, named Fanta, and unexpectedly, this apple-flavored soda made of apple pomace was also very popular once it was launched. Of course, Fanta during World War II did not have a fixed product image and materials, sometimes apples, sometimes oranges, and its taste depended entirely on the materials found.
Of course, after World War II, Germany was defeated and Fanta returned to Coca-Cola. And in 1955 the orange-flavored soda was reintroduced if World War II had changed. Then Hitler probably couldn't tolerate the Coca-Cola Company, and there would be no Coke that everyone drinks today.
