	Coke - LoveToKnow 1911
		COKE (a northern English word, possibly connected with "colk," core), the product obtained by strongly heating coal out of contact with the air until the volatile constituents are driven off; it consists essentially of carbon, the so-called "fixed carbon," together with the incombustible matters or ash contained in the coal from which it is derived.
		Formerly coke was made from large coal piled in heaps with central chimneys like those of the charcoal burner, or in open rectangular clamps or kilns with air flues in the enclosing walls; but these methods are now practically obsolete, closed chambers or ovens being generally used.
		This property is utilized in several large coking plants in America, where the gas from the first ten hours' working is drawn off by a second hydraulic main and sent directly to town gas-works, where it passes through the ordinary purifying treatment, the gas from the second period being alone used for heating the ovens.

		COKE [coke] substance obtained by the destructive distillation of bituminous coal.

		Coke had spent more than a hundred years convincing the North American population that its product was an integral part of their lives, their very identities.

		New Coke sort of faded away (it quickly settled to a 3% market share in its first year and was redubbed "Coke II" in 1990) and now holds onto a 0.1% market share.

		Coke launched Diet Coke in July 1982 with a $100 million ad campaign, putting the swooshy wave trademark on a product other than Coca-Cola for the first time since 1886, when the company was formed.
