Created in 1886 by Colonel John Pemberton, Coca-Cola is a carbonated beverage that was marketed as a tonic that could cure morphine addiction, dyspepsia, neurasthenia, headache, and impotence; its two main ingredients were cocaine and caffeine.

A perfect subject for Howard Finster to weave his teachings about the Lord with angels and the church throughout in his signature style and save us from the sinful cola. Finster "did not learn how to paint in a university; instead he was self-taught, and most of his work was inspired by visions."
