In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's book keeper Frank Robinson.
It was a prohibition law, enacted in Atlanta in 1886, that persuaded physician and chemist Dr. John Stith Pemberton to rename and rewrite the formula for his popular nerve tonic, stimulant and headache remedy, "Pemberton's French Wine Coca," sold at that time by most, if not all, of the city's druggists.
So when the new Coca-Cola debuted later that year - still possessing "the valuable tonic and nerve stimulant properties of the coca plant and cola nuts," yet sweetened with sugar instead of wine - Pemberton advertised it not only as a "delicious, exhilarating, refreshing and invigorating" soda-fountain beverage but also as the ideal "temperance drink." It is said coke was discovered when DeLuise, a 19th century American soda jerk accidentally hit the soda water spigot, adding carbonated water to the syrup in the glass. The result was a "happy accident": the invention of Coca-Cola.
Though Pemberton died just two years later - five months, in fact, after his March 24, 1888, filing for incorporation of the first Coca-Cola Co. - the trademark he and his partners created more than one hundred years ago can claim wider recognition today than that of any other brand in the world.

Doritos is a brand of flavored tortilla chips produced since 1966 by the American food company Frito-Lay (a division of PepsiCo, Inc.). Doritos are sold in many countries worldwide.
Originally produced and marketed only as tortilla chips and sold in red bags, over the years Doritos have produced new flavors and corresponding different bag colors. An all-new Doritos look premiered in December 2005, although Doritos' pre-2005 logo was introduced for the Canadian market in 2006, as it is still used for the Mexican market and internationally.
The Doritos brand is also known for its marketing campaigns, which have included many television commercials featuring the late Avery Schreiber as well as product placement in movies such as Wayne's World.
The brand name seems to be loosely derived from the Spanish word oro for gold (or dorado for gilded) and the diminutive suffix -ito meaning small (therefore orito without the D would mean little gold). It also rhymes with other Frito-Lay brand names Cheeto, Tostito, and Frito (which is the Spanish word for fried), so the term fits in with the larger corporate theme.

WE ALL are guilty for that
we JUST TALK and make nice movies abt it
but WE DONT get out from our comfortable homes
neither SHARE our meal

e NEM DIVIDIMOS nosso pão
vendo esse video NÓS podemos ver como nossas vidas e metas são TÃO FÚTEIS
