You're actually wrong. Coca Cola was always meant to be caramel colored. The whole green thing is a myth.


The first book printed with a printing press was The Holy Bible. I'm not sure about typewriter though.

"The Santa Claus figure, although not yet standardized, was ubiquitous by the late 19th century. Santa was portrayed as both large and small; he was usually round but sometimes of normal or slight build; and he dressed in furs (like Belsnickle) or cloth suits of red, blue, green, or purple. A Boston printer named Louis Prang introduced the English custom of Christmas cards to America, and in 1885 he issued a card featuring a red-suited Santa. The chubby Santa with a red suit (like an "overweight superhero") began to replace the fur-dressed Belsnickle image and the multicolored Santas."

Also wrong about coke changing santa. in fact it was from christmas cards.

"Though this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an Internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product."

there you go. Snopes.com

Check your facts, people. Seriously, you cant make a trivia question IF YOU DONT KNOW THE ANSWER




8. What was the first book written?



Edit: However, an even better fact was that Coca Cola was brown colored so they could hide impurities or anything else that managed to find its way into the cola.

Well no-one else has any trivia so I'm just filling empty space.
... besides it's an easy question.

here's some more useless trivia:

- in how many games does the FF 'Sephiroth' appear?

- Name the 3 main types of clouds

- how much does 1 litre of water weigh?

Thats not really trivia is it?
I mean if you've read the book you won't forget who did it so there's no point, but if you havn't read the book then it's basically a guessing game.....

Well for the sake of answering the question...
