Badass Birthday
On this date, in 1831, in George USA, John Stith Pemberton was born.
Assuredly, you don't know him, but you certainly know OF him.
He served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and recieved a sabre wound in the Battle of Columbus which bothered him for years. He had chornic pain and a morphine addiction because of it. In order for some relief, he experimented with many different combination of toxing and painkillers. He came up a mixture of alcohol and cocaine and eventually this became....
Coca-Cola. He invented and perfected it.
See, I told you you've heard of him.
He passed away just 2 years after doing so in 1888 at the age of 57.
But still, inventer of Coke...yep total badass.
