What if one of the world’s most iconic beverages wasn’t invented for taste—but for pain relief?
In this episode of Twist of Fate Radio, we follow the remarkable journey of Dr. John Pemberton, a wounded Civil War veteran who set out to cure his own addiction… and accidentally created a drink that would change the world. From morphine to coca leaves, prohibition laws to soda fountains, this is the true story of how Coca-Cola began—not as a refreshment, but as a remedy.
One man’s search for healing became a global brand, all because of a twist in the road.
Hosted by Angela Clark.
