    The whole meaning behind the Drugstore Soda Fountain baffles me. I cannot seem to wrap my mind around the fact we once were served fountain drinks with drugs such as cocaine and caffeine. I don’t feel like Pharmacist should have been authorized to infuse drinks with drugs just because customers had some physical malady. Personally I believe that The “Harrison Act” which implemented the ban of cocaine in over-the-counter products saved a lot of our ancestors as well as the generations to follow by finding other methods to cure headaches and other body aches. I do however think it’s neat that we still call our fountain drinks “soft drinks.…

Due to the presence of cocaine in the prototype recipe, Pemberton claimed that Coca-Cola could cure many diseases, including morphine addiction, neurasthenia, headache, dyspepsia and…

    1. Personally speaking, coming from a consumer’s point of view, I think that selling Coca Cola through interactive vending machines is a bad idea. Nonetheless, it is a good idea coming from the company’s standpoint. Even though conventional economic theory would say that it is wise for Coca Cola to execute price discrimination to increase market efficiency, dual entitlement theory says otherwise. Since consumers already have a reference price and firms have a reference profit they should stick with, consumers would be upset because they think that the firms are trying to receive extra benefits.…
