Maybe not known much, except out of the old south, early on
Coca Colas were locally called "dope"* when referred
to, as in "lets have a dope at the diner" or get a "dope" after
finishing a job on a hot summer day. We all know about the
"Ice Cold" slogan as well as the "pause that refreshes" used
in the advertising. My grandfather would buy a case at a time of
the small bottles. I think I still have a full wooden "slat" of
the empty bottles upstairs.
From time to time my dad would reflect to me how much he enjoyed
at taste of home, when he enjoyed a Cola while in service during
W W II in Europe. One of the small pleasures of all soldiers during that
time, (along with the captured wine).

*I, being close to seventy, remember the old timers
of my younger days using this term. gajack
