Medicine and medical supplies are thin or non-existant, consumer comfort items are scarce, food can be hit or miss, but Coke is always available.
Wasn't coke marketed as medicinal in its very early days?
I don't know, but my grandparents called it "Dope." Want a bottle of dope?" my Grandmother would ask when I was a little kid. It must have had something in it besides sugar.
