MONDAY MURALS--COCA-COLA

Somewhere around 1886, John Pemberton, an American pharmacist, created Coca-Cola out of necessity. to control his chronic addiction to morphine, which he took as a result of a painful saber wound.  Shortly after, he decided to market his 'pain killer' as a drink, and the rest is history. 

Looks like it didn't make it to Serbia (then Yugoslavia) until 1967. I love this mural. It shows an old Italian FICA (FEE-cha), very popular then, the classic red cubic hot dog stand, and an example of the BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE building nicknamed the Toberlerone Building because of its triangular projections.
