Made in the USA

Who doesn’t wear jeans, drink cola and eat potato chips? Almost everyone does! But have you ever wondered what the stories are behind these products?

JEANS

The story of jeans goes back to the 19th century when sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore durable cotton and wool denim trousers. Then, in 1853, 24-year-old Levi Strauss travelled to San Francisco from Germany and decided to design trousers for manual workers from this material. They were a big hit, and by the 1950s, jeans had become very popular with a whole generation of young people. At first, many places such as theatres and restaurants banned them. Nowadays, jeans are a staple item of clothing in everyone’s wardrobe!

POTATO CHIPS

In 1853, George Crum was working as a chef at a restaurant in New York. One day, a customer sent Crum’s French fries back to the kitchen, saying they were too thick. Crum got very angry and decided to take revenge on the fussy diner; he made a new batch of fries so thin and crispy that the customer couldn’t eat them with a fork! To George’s surprise, the guest was thrilled with them and other diners began asking for them, too. Fast-forward to the 21st century and, in the US alone, sales of potato chips amount to over $6 billion per year.

COCA-COLA

John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Georgia, invented the original Coca-Cola formula in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard! The soft drink was first sold as a medicine in a chemist’s on 8th May, 1886. Dr Pemberton sold about 9 servings each day. He made about $50 in the first year, but unfortunately it cost him about $70 to make the cola! In 1887, a businessman bought the formula and by 1900 sales, had risen by over 4000%. Coca-Cola remains the most famous soft drink in the world, but its exact ingredients are still a trade secret!
