Reply to comment by Funkyard87 in TIL Kola Coca was developed in Spain in 1880. A year after Kola Coca won an award in the US, Coca-Cola was introduced. by ElJamoquio
Technically correct, but not the prohibition most people think of, Atlanta passed prohibition in 1886, so Coca Cola was only alcoholic for a few years.

Yep. When I was in the Army in the late 90’s/early 00’s we would hold our military gps and a consumer gps (probably a garmin, I would guess) and you could see instantly how much more accurate the military one was.
