WAS COCA COLA INVENTED IN VALENCIA, SPAIN ?

[GuntherHess]

The idea of a "secret formula" in the age of technology like gas chromatography amuses me whether it be coke or KFC.
I guess its all part of the branding lore.

Thanks for the rat turd pic......................Just what I needed with my lunch[:'(]

Just to clarify Pemberton developed his French Coca Wine before 86, Coke was formed in 86. As mentioned the syrup was tweeked for use as non acholic drink because of prohibition in Atlanta.

Until the other day I could not have told you the difference between Madrid, Spain and Valencia, Spain.

So I am wondering if maybe, just maybe if our mysterious Mr. Spain of "Nuez de Cola-Koca" fame might have been confused about the difference between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New Orleans, Louisiana? The reason I ask is because there was a World Exibition in New Orleans in 1885.

P.S.

What I really meant to ask is if that sign is actually from Spain or Mexico?

(It appears to be pre-1915)

Edit/Add

For claraification regarding the "Cotton" reference of the 1884-1885 New Orleans Exibition.

It was merely part of the title to acknowledge the 100 year anniversary of cotton - and not just about cotton. Thousands of various bronze - silver - and gold medals were awarded. But whether Mr. Spain and Mr. Pemberton attended the Exbibition, we may never know. No evidence yet to suggest they did.

The 1884-85 "World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition" was held in New Orleans at least in part to advertise the city's commercial revitalization following the end of the Reconstruction era. Also to commemorate the centennial of the first shipment of cotton from the United States to England and to advertise the cotton industry.

No proof at all.
Of anything.
I've heard stories, though.

But, Bob, you've got a photograph of the Rat Turd plant's seeds and yet you deny the existance of the plant. But I can't prove that either.

And note that I didn't start the rat turd meme...
