賣出去第一瓶可口可樂 (Coca-Cola) 了:188658

現在你可以在販賣機裡買到瓶裝可口可樂,或者是跟速食店的櫃臺人員買杯裝的可口可樂,但是在1960年代之前,不管是小城鎮或者是大城市的居民,都還是必須要坐在商店裡面才能喝到飲料。通常汽水櫃臺是設置在藥房裡頭,而許多不同年齡的人會來店裡買飲料。也許你在電影裡或1950年代或1960年代的電視節目中看過這種場所。

下一次你和你朋友在喝可口可樂的時候,可以告訴他們可口可樂的歷史故事,讓他們大吃一驚。


Now, you may get a can of Coca-Cola out of a machine or a cup self-served from a fountain at a fast food restaurant, but until the 1960s, both small-town and big-city dwellers would sit down in their local soda fountain or ice cream parlor for the soft drink. Often, the soda fountain was inside a drug store, and people of all ages would come and meet there. Perhaps you've seen this type of place in movies or on TV shows set in the 1950s or 60s.

Next time you have a Coca-Cola, amaze your friends with historical trivia about the popular soft drink.
