I would’ve liked the original recipe >>> “Coke was the brainchild of Dr. John Stith Pemberton, who was injured while fighting for the Confederacy and then became addicted to the morphine prescribed for pain relief. Living in Atlanta after the war, the physician tried the new wonder drug cocaine and found it cured his morphine problem. Like many other medical professionals of his time, he identified cocaine as a safe solution to conditions including the “nervousness” that plagued the white middle class—not to mention impotence and sexual dysfunction.
In 1884, Pemberton began selling cocaine-laced wine. After Atlanta passed a temperance law the next year, he switched gears and started producing a soft drink named for its two key medicinal ingredients—coca leaf and the caffeine-containing African kola nut. Coca-Cola was an immediate hit at soda fountains, a space catering to middle-class white customers. After Pemberton’s death in 1888, the brand continued to grow under the leadership of his business partner, Asa Grigs Candler.
Black laborers in the New Orleans area began using cocaine to help them get through long, hard days of physical work.
But, Cohen writes, within just a decade, public attitudes regarding cocaine changed dramatically. This had everything to do with the drug’s adoption by the southern Black working class. Around the time Candler assumed control of Coca-Cola, Black laborers in the New Orleans area began using cocaine to help them get through long, hard days of physical work. Cocaine use spread to workers at plantations and in urban areas around the South. It also became a popular recreational drug in Black and mixed-race neighborhoods.
While the medical profession had seen nothing wrong with tonics such as Coca-Cola advertising themselves to white, middle-class consumers for their aphrodisiac qualities, it became an entirely different matter when Black people used cocaine. Medical journals warned of the “Negro cocaine menace.” Newspapers claimed that the drug caused Black men to commit crimes—most notably, raping white women.
Cohen writes that Candler fought back against the damage that cocaine’s declining reputation did to his brand’s reputation, arguing that the small quantity of coca extract in Coke was merely energizing. He also leaned into an emphasis on the soda as a “refreshing” and “great tasting” drink, downplaying its supposed medicinal qualities.”

And I took the pics to prove it wasn't just because it was 4:20.
I bet you if you had looked at that time , you wouldn’t have noticed? …it’s that long exposure really brought them outI really wanted a lightning bolt. but at least the clouds right above the mountain gave a nice show. Totally missed those Stars, Star
What the
Indeed, what it is that? Sea urchins don’t live on land in New York
lol.. it was a caterpillar curled up
I just looked it up. It’s a giant leopard moth caterpillar. https://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/MISC/MOTHS/Hypercompe_scribonia.htm
So I sent this pic to the NWS and PSU.
I asked of it was a fogbow.
They both say it is a low angle rainbow.
Fogbows are White. This just proves to me that the mountain makes it's own weather. There had to be raindrops in that fog, which is cool, but the storm was long gone.
PSU Thanks for sending in this photo! This was a good point of conversation amongst the Weather & Climate Communications Group today as a fogbow would be more white. You typically need bigger drops for color, so a rather high sun angle and some residual light rain falling between the mountain means this was probably a low-hanging rainbow. A unique snapshot, no less, with you at the right vantage point at just the right time. Thanks again for sharing! We may feature this as a Photo of Week in future weeks!
NWS
Incredible shots, We snapped a similar photo out our window in State College at the same time yesterday. Thinking it's a rainbow technically, low to the horizon because of the sun angle still being around 31 degrees, and how far away the storm is. The ridgeline right behind the rainbow in your shots looks awesome. Would it be OK if we save off your photos and potentially use them in future NWS media?
Thanks again!
This is the NWS shot.
everyone knows sea urchins have giant testicles,and like 18 of them!
