Fanta was created during WWII in
Germany after Coca-Cola stopped shipping
its syrup
Yes, we are talking about the bubbly, fizzy orange
drink manufactured by Coca-Cola that is very
popular in Europe, parts of Asia, Africa and Latin
America, but did you know that the origins of this
beverage could be traced back to Nazi Germany?
The events of December 7, 1941 – Pearl Harbor –
brought WWII to U.S. shores. However, Pearl
Harbor also played a vital role for Coca-Cola in a
slightly different way.
After the attack on American soil, Coca-Cola
stopped shipping its intimately guarded secret syrup
to Germany. This meant Max Keith, the chief of
Coca-Cola in Germany, was no longer able to
produce the world's favorite fizzy beverage and
stocks were quickly depleting.
Max, determined to keep Germany awash in soda,
brought together some random ingredients
including some leftover by-products from a local
cheese factory, remains of apple after being
processed for cider and a mountain of artificial
sugar. The result was Fanta, a drink that quickly
caught on all over Nazi Germany not only because it
was quite tasty, but also because it made an
excellent substitute for soup broth.
When the war ended, Fanta production was stopped
then re-introduced, (with slight improvements) to
compete with Pepsi.

Cocaine was in Coca-Cola's secret syrup
Ever wondered how the world's favorite drink got its
name? Coke's super secret formula may have
something to do with it.
Coke's original formula had two main ingredients
that gave the beverage its distinct flavor – coca
leaves and cola nut. Yes, we are talking about the
same coca leaves that are used in cocaine. Coke did
contain a small amount of cocaine (or fluid extract
of coca leaf).
Back in the day, cocaine was widely used as a
medication and the soft drink was developed to be a
tonic for nerves. When the draconian effects of
cocaine were finally discovered, Coke altered its
formula to use processed Coca leaves (after
extracting the drug) which it uses to this day.
Coca-Cola's history is a lot murkier than this, but
that could be the topic of a whole new list.

Kellogg's Corn Flakes were invented to
control masturbation
During the early 1900s, one of the greatest taboos
was masturbation. People firmly believed that the
practice would lead to mental and physical health
problems, thanks to the hard work of a handful of
anti-masturbation crusaders.
John Kellogg was a trained physician and
nutritionist who attempted to deter masturbating
youth with techniques such as sewing the male
foreskin with a silver wire and burning the female
clitoris with carbolic acid.
Kellogg believed meat created sexual urges and
insisted that people should consume more cereal
and nuts to curb their masturbation. He created
Kellogg's Corn Flakes with his brother Will, who
worked as a bookkeeper at the sanatorium where
John practiced.
Will was not interested in marketing corn flakes as
an anti-masturbation supplement and instead sold
the sugar-coated flakes as a breakfast alternative.

4)
Graham crackers – another anti-
masturbation food
Graham crackers were a part of an essential diet
designed by Sylvester Graham to help people
control their sexual urges.
Much like John Kellogg, Sylvester Graham pushed a
cereal/nut based diet and asked people to not
consume meat.
The original recipe for graham crackers called for
bland biscuits made out of unrefined flour, but the
crackers have undergone many changes over the
years and the present version has very few
similarities to its original ancestor.
5)
Santitary napkins were designed to stop
bullet wounds
The history of sanitary napkin manufacturer Kotex
dates all the way back to World War I.
In 1914, paper supplier Kimberly-Clark developed a
unique product processed from wood known as
"cellucotton." The material had over 5 times the
absorbing capacity of cotton and was half the price.
Cellucotton was used by the U.S. military during
World War I to stop wounded soldiers from
bleeding to death.
After the war, Kimberly-Clark decided to
re-purpose Cellucotton to create disposable sanitary
napkins. This was groundbreaking at a time when
only cotton rags were being used by women for
their sanitary needs.
Cellucotton transformed itself into Cellunap and
eventually Kotex (Cotton-Textile) thanks to some
clever marketing efforts by the Charles F.W.
Nichols Company. By 1945, every American woman
was using sanitary pads.

The truth about cow bile in Red Bull
Admit it, most of you have at least one can of Red
Bull stashed away somewhere in your home. Did
you know that the world's favorite energy drink has
some skeletons in its closet?
No, we are not talking about the urban legend that
suggests Red Bull has bull sperm. What it does have
is an amino acid most commonly found in cow bile.
Dietrich Mateschitz (the guy who created Red Bull)
came across a rejuvenating tonic sold in Thailand
that went by the name "Krating Daeng" (Red Water
Buffalo). Mateschitz found that the tonic worked
incredibly well in curing his jetlag and he was
immediately struck with an idea.
Mateschitz rebranded the syrup for the western
market after tinkering with the original recipe. The
main components of Red Bull are taurine (the stuff
that gives you the wings), caffeine and loads of
artificial sugar.
Taurine (Greek for bull urine) is a product that is
found most abundantly in cow bile. It is present
naturally in most mammals and trace amounts of
taurine can also be found in meat and diary
products. Studies suggest that it is safe for
consumption in small quantities.
The taurine in Red Bull is the source of all the
controversies associated with the drink (including
the one about bull sperm). Sadly for conspiracy
theorists, Red Bull synthesizes taurine in laboratory
and not from bovine urine as many may lead you to
believe.
