World War II
–
World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the worlds countries—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing alliances, the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust and the bombing of industrial and population centres. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history, from late 1939 to early 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe, and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan. Under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours, Poland, Finland, Romania and the Baltic states. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States and European colonies in the Pacific Ocean, and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific. The Axis advance halted in 1942 when Japan lost the critical Battle of Midway, near Hawaii, in 1944, the Western Allies invaded German-occupied France, while the Soviet Union regained all of its territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies. During 1944 and 1945 the Japanese suffered major reverses in mainland Asia in South Central China and Burma, while the Allies crippled the Japanese Navy, thus ended the war in Asia, cementing the total victory of the Allies. World War II altered the political alignment and social structure of the world, the United Nations was established to foster international co-operation and prevent future conflicts. The victorious great powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, China, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the United States emerged as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold War, which lasted for the next 46 years. Meanwhile, the influence of European great powers waned, while the decolonisation of Asia, most countries whose industries had been damaged moved towards economic recovery. Political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to end pre-war enmities, the start of the war in Europe is generally held to be 1 September 1939, beginning with the German invasion of Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later. The dates for the beginning of war in the Pacific include the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War on 7 July 1937, or even the Japanese invasion of Manchuria on 19 September 1931. Others follow the British historian A. J. P. Taylor, who held that the Sino-Japanese War and war in Europe and its colonies occurred simultaneously and this article uses the conventional dating. Other starting dates sometimes used for World War II include the Italian invasion of Abyssinia on 3 October 1935. The British historian Antony Beevor views the beginning of World War II as the Battles of Khalkhin Gol fought between Japan and the forces of Mongolia and the Soviet Union from May to September 1939, the exact date of the wars end is also not universally agreed upon. It was generally accepted at the time that the war ended with the armistice of 14 August 1945, rather than the formal surrender of Japan

S. wanted to remain neutral. The American national-interest goal was to use the new laws to avoid war, one of the most comprehensive attempts at an embargo happened during the Napoleonic Wars. In an attempt to cripple the United Kingdom economically, the Continental System – which forbade European nations from trading with the UK – was created, in practice it was not completely enforceable and was as harmful if not more so to the nations involved than to the British. The United States imposed an embargo on Cuba on February 7,1962, referred to by Cuba as el bloqueo, the US embargo on Cuba remains one of the longest-standing embargoes. The embargo was embraced by few of the United States allies, in 1973–1974, Arab nations imposed an oil embargo against the United States and other industrialized nations that supported Israel in the Yom Kippur War.

It is also worth noting that a Spanish drink called Kola Coca was presented at a contest in Philadelphia in 1885, the patent for this Spanish drink was bought by Coca-Cola in 1953. In 1885, Pemberton registered his French Wine Coca nerve tonic, in 1886, when Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation, Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, a nonalcoholic version of French Wine Coca. The first sales were at Jacobs Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia, Pemberton claimed Coca-Cola cured many diseases, including morphine addiction, indigestion, nerve disorders, headaches, and impotence. Pemberton ran the first advertisement for the beverage on May 29 of the year in the Atlanta Journal. By 1888, three versions of Coca-Cola – sold by three separate businesses – were on the market, a co-partnership had been formed on January 14,1888 between Pemberton and four Atlanta businessmen, J. C. Mayfield, A. O. Not codified by any signed document, a statement given by Asa Candler years later asserted under testimony that he had acquired a stake in Pembertons company as early as 1887. John Pemberton declared that the name Coca-Cola belonged to his son, Charley, Charleys exclusive control over the Coca Cola name became a continual thorn in Asa Candlers side. Candlers oldest son, Charles Howard Candler, authored a book in 1950 published by Emory University, in this definitive biography about his father, Candler specifically states

Whey
–
Whey is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. It is a byproduct of the manufacture of cheese or casein and has several commercial uses, sweet whey is manufactured during the making of rennet types of hard cheese like Cheddar or Swiss cheese. Acid whey is a byproduct produced during the making of types of dairy products such as cottage cheese or strained yogurt. Whey proteins consist of α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin, serum albumin, immunoglobulins, to produce cheese, rennet or an edible acid is added to heated milk. This makes the milk coagulate or curdle, separating the milk solids from the liquid whey, sweet whey is the byproduct of rennet-coagulated cheese, and acid whey is the byproduct of acid-coagulated cheese. Sweet whey has a pH greater than or equal to 5.6, Whey is used to produce whey cheeses such as ricotta, whey butter, so-called brunost, and many other products for human consumption. The fat content of whey is low, for example 1,000 kg of whey are required to make typically 1 kg of whey butter and it is also an additive in many processed foods, including breads, crackers, and commercial pastry, and in animal feed. Whey proteins consist primarily of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin, depending on the method of manufacture, whey may also contain glycomacropeptides. Dairy whey remaining from home-made cheesemaking has many uses and it is a flour conditioner and can be substituted for skim milk in most baked good recipes that require milk. Whey protein is often sold as a nutritional supplement, such supplements are especially popular in the sport of bodybuilding. In Switzerland, where production is an important industry, whey is used as the basis for carbonated soft drinks such as Rivella. In Iceland, liquid whey is sold as Mysa, throughout history, whey was a popular drink in inns and coffee houses. When Joseph Priestley was at college at Daventry Academy, 1752–1755, he records that, on the morning of Wednesday,22 May 1754 and this was probably sack whey or wine whey. ”Whey was also used in central Spain to enrich bakery products. In some traditions, it was used instead of water to produce bread dough, in areas where cheese is made, excess whey byproduct is sometimes sprayed over hay fields as a fertilizer. Historically whey, being a byproduct of cheese making, was considered a product and was pumped into rivers. Containing protein, this led to the growth of large concentrations of algae which were deemed to be an environmental hazard. The government eventually prohibited this practice led to a disposal problem for producers. Their first solution was to use it as a filler in the production of ice cream

Pomace
–
Pomace, or marc, is the solid remains of grapes, olives, or other fruit after pressing for juice or oil. It contains the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the fruit, Grape pomace has traditionally been used to produce pomace brandy and grape seed oil. Today, it is used as fodder, as fertilizer. Pomace is derived from the Latin pomum, the English were the first to use the term pomace to refer to the byproduct of cider production. In the Middle Ages, pomace wine with a low content of three or four percent was widely available. This wine was made by adding water to pomace and then fermenting it, generally, medieval wines were not fermented to dryness, consequently the pomace would retain some residual sugar after fermenting. The Ancient Greeks and Romans used pomace to create a wine that later known as piquette. This was an inferior wine normally given to slaves and common workers, after the wine grapes had been pressed twice, the pomace was soaked in water for a day and pressed for a third time. The resulting liquid was mixed with water to produce a thin. Apple pomace is used to produce pectin and can be used to make ciderkin. Grape pomace is used to produce pomace brandy and piquette, most wine-producing cultures began making some type of pomace brandy after the principles of distillation were understood. Pomace in winemaking differs, depending upon whether white wine or red wine is being produced, in red wine production, pomace is produced after the free run juice is poured off, leaving behind dark blackish-red debris consisting of grape skins and stems. The color of red wine is derived from skin contact during the maceration period, the resulting pomace is more alcoholic and tannic than pomace produced from white wine production. Pomace from the Italian wine Amarone is macerated in Valpolicella wine to produce Ripasso, in white wine production, grapes are quickly pressed after crushing to avoid skin contact with pomace as a byproduct of the pressing. The resulting debris is a pale, greenish-brown color and contains more sugars than it contains tannins. This is the normally used in brandy production. Pomace is produced in quantities in wine production, with disposal an important environmental consideration. Some wineries use the material as fertilizer, while others are selling it to companies for renewable energy

In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned, the 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered a world city by the Globalization.

By 1327, the name had developed into Aemsterdam, Amsterdam is much younger than Dutch cities such as Nijmegen, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. In October 2008, historical geographer Chris de Bont suggested that the land around Amsterdam was being reclaimed as early as the late 10th century. This does not necessarily mean there was already a settlement then, since reclamation of land may not have been for farming—it may have been for peat. Amsterdam was granted city rights in either 1300 or 1306, from the 14th century on, Amsterdam flourished, largely from trade with the Hanseatic League

As of March 2009, the site had approximately 6.2 million visitors per month, where appropriate, pages are generally marked undetermined or unverifiable if the Mikkelsons feel there is not enough evidence to either support or disprove a given claim. The name was chosen for its acronym, T. R. O. L. L, a reference to the early 1990s definition of the word troll, meaning an Internet prank, of which David Mikkelson was a prominent practitioner. One fictional legend alleged that the nursery rhyme Sing a Song of Sixpence was really a coded reference used by pirates to recruit members. This parodied a real false legend surrounding the supposed connection of Ring a Ring o Roses to the bubonic plague.

A&W Root Beer
–
A&W Root Beer is a root beer brand primarily available in the United States and Canada, started in 1919 by Roy W. Allen. In 1922, Allen partnered with Frank Wright and they combined their initials to create the brand A&W and inspired a restaurant chain, founded in 1922. A&W root beer sold for five cents. The U. S. variant is sold as an import drink in Southeast Asia and Italy, as well as Australia, the United Kingdom. On June 20,1919, Roy W. Allen opened a root beer stand in Lodi, California. He soon opened stands in Stockton, California, and five stands in nearby Sacramento, in 1920, Allen became partners with Frank Wright and the two combined their initials and called their product A&W Root Beer. A mistaken notion is that the initials were derived from Alice and this mistake arose owing to Marriotts first business, an A&W franchise In 1924, Allen bought Wrights share, obtained a trademark, and began selling restaurant franchises. A&W was one of the first franchised restaurant chains in the United States, franchise owners could use the A&W name and logo and purchased concentrated root beer syrup from Allen. By 1933, there were more than 170 A&W franchised outlets, there was no common menu, architecture, or procedures shared by the franchisees and some chose to sell food with the root beer.

Barq's
–
Barqs /ˈbɑːrks/ is an American soft drink. Its brand of beer is notable for having caffeine.

Available in Root Beer and Vanilla Cream, Diet Barqs Red Crème Soda Barqs French Vanilla Crème Soda Discontinued, Diet Crème Soda Barqs French Vanilla Discontinued, Barqs Floatz, which is designed to taste like a root beer float. J & J Snack Foods Corporation once licensed the name for Barqs Floatz ice cream squeeze tubes. The Barqs Brothers Bottling Company was founded in 1898 in the French Quarter of New Orleans, by Edward Charles Edmond Barq and his older brother, the Barq Brothers bottled carbonated water and various soft drinks of their own creation. Early on their most popular creation was a soda called Orangine. Edward Barq moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, in 1897 with his new wife, the following year he opened the Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works. 1898 is often given as the year for what was later to be known as Barqs root beer. It was on the Mississippi coast that Barq met and employed a young boy, Robinson was mentored by Barq and later moved to New Orleans to find his fortune. In 1934 Edward Barq, Sr. and Robinson sign an agreement on Barqs product rights. The agreement was unique from other franchises in many aspects, one, that Robinson was allowed to make his own concentrate. The two men remained close their entire lives, working on flavors and production challenges, a distinctive difference between the Biloxi-based root beer and the Louisianas was that the Louisiana bottle was printed in red. This was to distinguish ownership of bottles as blue labeled ones were returned to Mississippi, there were also regional taste differences between the various Barqs bottlers. While there may have been minor formula differences, water generally defined these differences, for many decades Barqs was not marketed as a root beer. This was in part a desire to avoid conflict with the Hires Root Beer company. It was also due to differences from other root beers at the time, the formulation was sarsaparilla based, contained less sugar, had a higher carbonation, and less of a foamy head than other brands

Julmust
–
Julmust is a soft drink that is mainly consumed in Sweden around Christmas. During the rest of the year it is quite difficult to find in stores. At Easter the name is påskmust,45 million litres of julmust are consumed during December, which is around 50% of the total soft drink volume in December and 75% of the total yearly must sales. Must was created by Harry Roberts and his father Robert Roberts in 1910 as an alternative to beer. The syrup is made exclusively by Roberts AB in Örebro. The syrup is sold to different soft drink manufacturers that make the final product in their own way. This means that the must from two different companies doesnt taste the same, even though they are made of the same syrup, must is made of carbonated water, sugar, hop extract, malt extract, spices, caramel colouring, citric acid, and preservatives. The hops and malt extracts give the must a somewhat root beer-like taste without the sassafras and it can be aged provided it is stored in a glass bottle. Some people buy julmust in December only to store it a year before drinking it, in 2013 a rumour occurred that the EU would ban julmust due to a directive banning the selling of malt beverages containing caramel colouring. The rumour however turned out to be false since julmust is not a fermented beverage, in Sweden, julmust outsells Coca-Cola during the Christmas season, in fact, the consumption of Coca-Cola drops by as much as 50% over the holiday. This was quoted as one of the reasons that The Coca-Cola Company broke away from their contract with the local brewer Pripps. Coca-Cola Drycker Sverige AB produced its own julmust, albeit very slyly with The Coca-Cola Companys name occupying only a space on the label. Their julmust was never advertised until 2004, when Coca-Cola started marketing their julmust under the brand Bjäre julmust, by 2007 the Bjäre julmust was only sold at McDonalds restaurants and it had completely disappeared from Coca-Colas range of products by Christmas 2008, only to return for Christmas 2011. In November 2004 PepsiCo marketed a product similar in taste to julmust in the United States called Pepsi Holiday Spice. It was on sale during the 2004 and 2006 Christmas seasons, cost Plus World Market in the United States sells julmust during the Christmas holiday season. IKEA in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and it is also sold in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Switzerland as Dryck Påskmust at Easter.
