I can’t believe I missed this edit, but here we go again with another coke product that we tried a while back. The Marshmello Limited Edition Coke. This was a confusing one for many who have no idea that Marshmello is a DJ, and not a reference to the puffy bits of sugar people put in their hot chocolate.
I still see this cola at HyVee and Target. So if you are curious about trying it yourself, stop by your local grocery store and grab a can.
And of course, let us know what you think.
Who are our Questers today?
Kris, has gone too far.
Nate, you lost me.
Matt, speculating wildly.
Amy, Subscribe!
A History of Coca-Cola
On May 8th, 1886, pharmacist Dr. John Pemberton was visiting a pharmacy in Atlanta to promote his medicinal wonder, French Wine of Coca. This cure-all medicine was a mix of Bordeaux red wine, caffeine, and coca leaf extract. Since it was a medicine and more of a niche market, Pemberton decided to try to sell it as a soda. So he took his bitter tasting medicine and threw in a bunch of sugar. And to make it marketable to children and adults, he removed the alcohol. But not the cocaine, since after all, it was legal.
Asa Candler acquired the company in 1891 after Pemberton’s death. By the end of the 1890s, they were selling a quarter of a million gallons of syrup a year. Coca Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, employing over 700,000 worldwide.
So what is Marshmello’s limited edition Coca-Cola? According to the Coca-Cola website, Marshmello’s Limited Edition Coca Cola is inspired by the world-renowned artist, Marshmello. It has the familiar Coca-Cola taste, with added watermelon and strawberry flavor.
