The Name Game.

In lesson 3 of our hand book we were studying The Name Game. So, i chose to write about Coca-Cola, the most popular artificial beverage in the world.

The Coca-Cola's two main ingredients were cocaine and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from Kola nut, instead of  Coca-Kola, the ¨k¨ in kola was replaced with a ¨c¨ for marketing purposes.

When you have a Coca-Cola bottle or can in your hands you can read the ingredients listed on the side, but they are not all the ingredients, the exact formula is a trade secret. there is a myth which says that only two executives have access to the formula and each one only have half of it.

Is interesting to know that John Pemberton, the creator of The Coca-Cola's company, was an addicted to morphine, after years of fighting against the addiction ended up on creating a new drink, so he mixed the cocaine and the caffeine and converted into a syrup and added carbonated water, he finalized the formula in 1886, in Atlanta Georgia. Then, he made an alcoholic drink called French Wine Coca, ( I'm pretty sure that all of us will would have loved to try that drink, specially YOU, Atilano 😆 ) but prohibitions laws in Atlanta prevented him to selling it, after that he created a similar drink, non-alcoholic version. Frank Mason, his partner in crime, you know that every drug addicted are never alone, 😜 suggested him the name Coca-Cola for the Syrup formula.

Pemberton faced several problems with his beverage, as it contained coca leaves during a period were cocaine was a topic on debate. Because cocaine is a addictive substance, the manufactures of Coca-Cola did not want to be known as the creators of an addictive cocaine beverage in the market, so by 1902 the beverage contained a very little quantity of cocaine to protect the trademark, but in 1929 the soda became cocaine-free and the beverage was still able to maintain its name.

So, guys we already know that the main formula of Coca-Cola, a soda that almost everybody in the world even kids drink, still being a secret. I wonder what the hell are we drinking? Sorry for the expression.

Urban Legends

In the second lesson of our handbook we were talking about Urban Legends. So, I'm going to introduce a place that i have visited in the amusement park were i'm working right now in wildwood New Jersey which had gruesome stories in the past.

The Ghost Ship is one of the attractions that Moreys Piers has in one of the three amusement parks, the interesting thing is that this is not a created Ship,  it's a real ship that was haunted long time ago, it was in disuse in the early 80's and was put in the park with the purpose of scaring people and trust me, i'd tried and it really scares, it was extremely creepy. it has like 10 rooms inside and 12 different stories. Watch the following video for more details. 

J- Ball

In the first lesson of the  handbook that we were studying in class we talked about J-Ball which is the baseball in Japan. I will write some interesting facts about the Dominican players in Japan.

The first Dominicans that played in the professional baseball league of Japan were Sijo Linares, who was the first one playing in a single match with the Taiyas Whales in 1971. Also, in the same year, Jose Vidal Nolasco who was born in La Romana, invaded that league in Japan.
Then, other players followed him, as Mateo Rojas Alou in 1974, Rafael Batista in 1975 and Winston Llenas in 1976. They were the pioneers in Baseball in Japan even not speaking the language in this country.
