Shoot, fire, man, it was invented in Georgia

Absolutely, Geoff!...and it was none other than the "Georgia Peach" himself, baseball great Ty Cobb, who made himself rich after his playin' days with his early investments in Coca-Cola stock! And, BTW, the early Coke recipe did contain a smidgeon of cocaine in it, YCLIU...they made 'em take it out somewhere around the turn of the 20th Century. So you see, "soft drinks" with that jolt of caffeine, sugar rush, and once-upon-a-time cocaine aren't so soft after all!
