It was Pemberton who made the first Coke commercial, using the advertising slogan "Delicious, Refreshing, Exhilarating" which, compared to today's short, snappy and easy to remember slogans, is primitive. It was Asa Candler who made Coca-Cola the popular drink of today, after having bought Coca-Cola for a small price in 1888. He changed the recipe by removing the alcohol and cocaine and spent a record 20% revenue on advertising. Candler was one of the first people to make advertising pay off in a big way for their company.

Popcorn has been the all American snack for hundreds of years. Demand for popcorn has remained steady throughout the years with a peak in the 1990s.

A local pharmacist, Dr. John Stith Pemberton produced the Coca-Cola syrup (The Coca-Cola Company, 2014).

His first day, Belfort broke the company’s record by selling $5,000 worth of penny stocks to one investor. Almost immediately, Belfort and his colleague developed the penny-stocks brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont. Belfort was only 26 years old at the time.
