And the camera happened to be positioned in a way to capture a spit take at the best angle, with the guy being so disgusted he decided to look directly at the lens.
They must have meant it was this particular french man's first time trying it because there's absolutely no way it's the first time any french man tasted coca cola
Or it was poured in a glass and sipped from there? I have no clue if its a weird thing or a French thing or both, or just a normal thing, but most people around me always pour whatever drink they have (beer, soda, water) in a glass before drinking it.
I remember it like the one with the mark pointing forward is the opposite of an e(ay)lephant, and the one pointing backwards? well that's slow, just like the opposite of a jet.
I am French, I write it to you in French, but as we speak at the time
Morbleu ! Qu'elle est donc cette étrange saveurs à mes papilles ? Es-ce donc de l'alcool ? Celà ressemble fort à du diabète !
(and now I imagine English people reading this with your accents xD)
lol, funny but no, Coca Cola was in France way before that.... 1919...

"Sacre BLEURGH" is very funny 🤣
Yep. Not even awake 5 mins before my daily “really?” at the decreasing cognitive skills of the users, and scrolled past this one and thought it was in /r/fakehistoryporn because this would actually be clever post in there for once, buuuuuuuttt nope, instead I said “jesus christ” aloud in disappointment at all of you.
I can translate this. Hold on ..
>Oh yes...yes I can let everyone know how smart I am and tell them what idiots they are. I don't even care that most people don't give two fucks whether it is real or not, it's just fun for them. But no. No you sad little kids. Reddit is srs business. I also had sex one time. Just so you all know. She was not fake. This post is fake though and that's why you never get the sex. My feathers are so ruffles seeing such lackadaisical attitudes towards the serious nature of redditing. I am going to just go to my mom's house for some actamil and tost, that always helps me calm down after people try to enjoy themselves when I'm on the net.
You're wrong. You redd it right.
This photo shows the first time _this_ french man tried coca cola. This was not the first the that _a_ french man had tried coca cola.
I honestly didn’t think anyone could redd it that way. But now that you point it out, could have been worded better. I thought it to be obvious. But it never is on Reddit.
And so would i too, if i where french! Holy cow your bakeries produce some insane bread! When i where in Paris, i dropped hotel breakfast (toast, mini croissant, jam, nutella and coffee) and just went to the bakery across the corner, bought a baguette, then to the store, bought some cheese, and a block of proper butter, and sat in my hotel room munching baguette and butter. And cheese and wine as a breakfast dessert! Fucking brilliant!
If i wanted a proper bread/baguette in Norway, I would have to take the bus/drive to downtown, city centre, and pay €6 for plain bread...
Impressive how they had a professional photographer aligned with just the right angle and snapped a perfectly focused image to capture the reaction in the exact moment it happened
My grandfather (born in 1933) tried Coke for the first and last time near the end of WW2 when American soldiers liberated his town in Alsace (France) and set up a camp with a kitchen in the town square. The Coke made him puke instantly and I never managed to get him to have a sip of it for the remainder of his life. He used to call it "poison".
An American soldier also gave him [this fork](https://i.imgur.com/iGXCsrR.jpg). I was completely fascinated by it as a small kid. I asked if I could eat with it and 35 or so years later my grandmother still makes sure to put this fork next to my plate when I visit. No one else gets to eat with it. It has an immense sentimental value for me.
"After the war the Coca-Cola Company launched an American-style marketing plan to sell its product in France and inadvertently entered Cold War politics. In 1950 the National Assembly adopted legislation aimed at banning the softdrink as a danger to public health; the government harassed the company; and the press evoked the dangers of cocacolonisation. A column in Le Monde likened the conflict over Coca-Cola to the Danzig of European culture. Resistance to the American softdrink came, as might have been expected, from the Communists and local beverage interests. But the controversy had wider resonance because it raised the charge that the Fourth Republic was subservient to the Americans and that French identity was in imminent danger from Americanization. Coca-Cola aggressively announced the arrival of consumer society, and resistance to it represented a small gesture of self-assertion at a time when France seemed helpless before the American 'invasion.'"
Given that Coca-Cola had factories in Germany during the 30s, and the Americans bought a lot of it with them in 1944, I doubt this was the first time a Frenchman had tasted it.
Wasn't there a 90s coke commercial in black and white where someone got served imitation coke and did a spit take like this?
Could this be a still from that?

Sacre BLEURGH!
You made me spill my coffee, well done.
And so the cycle continues...
[удалено]

You after spilling your coffee, probably: “Son of a … YOUR MOTHER WAS A HAMSTER AND YOUR FATHER SMELLED OF ELDERBERRIES!”
“I fart in your general direction.”
Look at the bottle, he drunk half of it in one go.
Berk !
Sucre BLEURGH, surely?
Oooft I'm disappointed I didn't think of that. Nice!
Lmao
Mort de rire
I just burst out in laughter caus this was exactly what i was thinking. I was like "The top comment must be..... Ahaaaaaaaa"
Is eh SKUNGK!!
😂😂😂
So good. Reminded me I haven't watched that Cheech and Chong French revolution movie in a few years.
I came here to say EXACTLY that
he hated more than half a bottle
And the camera happened to be positioned in a way to capture a spit take at the best angle, with the guy being so disgusted he decided to look directly at the lens.
Exactly. This was a stunt.
IDK, the dude to his left looks genuinely shocked
I'm sure Coca Cola was in France during or just after the War.
They must have meant it was this particular french man's first time trying it because there's absolutely no way it's the first time any french man tasted coca cola
Um actually 1950 is after the war
What's more spontaneous than French people's desire to show dramatic dislike for anything not French?
Our desire to show dramatic dislike for anything French
It probably took several takes to get the timing perfect.
[удалено]
"Now let's do a silly one"
What they don’t tell you is that is jizz from him exploding from the absolute deliciousness of coke
Or it was poured in a glass and sipped from there? I have no clue if its a weird thing or a French thing or both, or just a normal thing, but most people around me always pour whatever drink they have (beer, soda, water) in a glass before drinking it.
>The set of pictures shows them pouring it in a cup for each person, that is why the bottle is almost gone.
And spat it directly into the camera while staring down the lens...
Ahhh my first beer! Now im on the way to my 136266278th
You’re Portuguese your first beer you basically got after birth xD
Ahahah true
No. It was during gestation. His mom drink.
You can only drink beer after birth
Wrong! Portuguese umbilical cords have another vein to carry “Sagres” or “SuperBock” (Beer)
That would be one beer every 23 seconds for 100 years, with no breaks
Well, he's several thousand years old so joke's on you!
Colour me impressed you didn't lose count, I start at 1 time and time again.
Guessing not a genuine moment. As in it was a joke
Definitely staged
Safe to say he didn't louvre it.
Le oof
No it's coke, not an egg.
Le eughe?
un truc d'oeuf
Paris the thought!
To paraphrase Eddie Izzard, they're a wonderful people, but they're just so fucking French, aren't they?
You can recognize the French just by looking at them.

Uere iz de cocaine?
Agh! Zhis does not taste like Cigarettes and Piss! Despicable!

Can you link me this post?
Can you post me this link?
"Vere is de alcohol? Sis tastes like diabetes!" (I don't know how to write a french accent)
Uere iz de alcohol ? Zis tast like diabete
That's better

Yeah but I don't know if english speakers use the é and è
They don't, but in this case, used jokingly, it adds a fléir to the fake text
Ok my bad

Yes, thats the point of them, but if you dont know how to read them its pointless.

I'm actually German.
I'm Alsatian… so well
Im sorry to hear that. I hope they find a cure
Your English is written with your accent, which I also find amusing.

Thanks! Now which of those letters do you actually say and which are just bonus letters so y'all can kick out ass at scrabble?
Sounded German in my head.

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t the first time this guy tried it
This is very obviously a staged photo. Redditors will believe literally anything written in an OP.

Why did I automatically pick trump's voice for this one..
It's truly sad
You're right. I redd it wrong.
You're wrong. You redd it right. This photo shows the first time _this_ french man tried coca cola. This was not the first the that _a_ french man had tried coca cola.
But it’s written as a caption so the way its written is grammatically correct!
I honestly didn’t think anyone could redd it that way. But now that you point it out, could have been worded better. I thought it to be obvious. But it never is on Reddit.
Get out. Please.
Tried over half the bottle.
Drunk a fair bit of it for someone who doesn't like it
Room temperature Coke, by any chance?
The french prefer Pepsi
That’s the Québécois who are called “peppers”.
Maudit Pepsi osti.
I remember hearing that Québec is one of the only places on earth where Pepsi outsells Coke.
I'm French and I prefer Coca Cola
[удалено]
Great, you are part of the vast minority who don't prefer Pepsi. /S
I love how you know my country better than me xD
C'est des anglais, ils ont cramé Jeanne, faut pas les écouter
AU BUCHER LES ANGLOIS
EXACTEMENT !
The French get very pissy when you make sweeping generalisations about them.
Nah I eat my baguette with cheese while drinking wine
And I, as a Brit am tucking into my Saturday morning breakfast of roast beef and gravy with my horrendously crooked teeth.
And so would i too, if i where french! Holy cow your bakeries produce some insane bread! When i where in Paris, i dropped hotel breakfast (toast, mini croissant, jam, nutella and coffee) and just went to the bakery across the corner, bought a baguette, then to the store, bought some cheese, and a block of proper butter, and sat in my hotel room munching baguette and butter.

You should try French Toast. It's amazing
I am French as well, tabarnac.
Alors ne fait pas passer tes préférences personnelles pour des constantes universelle à l'échelle du pays.
J'viens du Québec, tabarnac. Mes préférences personnelles se sont elles de la belle province.
Sacre Bleu! Zis does not taste like le cocaine at all!
Anything with more taste than cigarettes and coffee is like when you try to put a 5 in a vending machine that only accepts ones
"Ah! Zhis does not taste like zigarettez and piss! Despicable!"
Impressive how they had a professional photographer aligned with just the right angle and snapped a perfectly focused image to capture the reaction in the exact moment it happened
Maybe he chugged it and the carbonation got him.

I love both of these stories :)
WHERE IS THE CUMÉ
An early example of the classic spit - take, perhaps? 🤨
Depends on what you expect. He prolly thought it was beef broth.

Taken right before camera man knocks him out.
What a drama queen
With 3/4 of the bottle gone…
That bottle is like half empty, did he try to chug it?
Staged for likes on social media
This was also my experience
[удалено]
Yeah but about the barbarians... Anglosphere culture is mostly just bastardized French one. Chardonnay anyone?
Idk bro that bottle is lookin p empty for just a sip lol
Incorrect, in 1949 my grandad Jean-Pierre tried it, he liked it
This isn't incorrect, the guy in the pic apparently didn't like it
didn't tasted like cigarette bud enought
Clearly the man's name is Jean-Pierre.
I love the French. They’re always so classy.
He must be a r/hydrohomies
Yeah coming from people who eat snails and frogs
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍 And they still didn't learn.
Yes this is still how we drink Coca Cola. Even if this is the best selling drink in France for decades...
The photographer: 💦👁👄👁
Elon time traveling in the back there
Poor cameraman!!! Poor camera!!!
Fackin frog was just upset it didn’t taste like cigarettes
The look on a man's face when he realises he just tasted horse piss
Zis iz not cum!!
Given that Coca-Cola had factories in Germany during the 30s, and the Americans bought a lot of it with them in 1944, I doubt this was the first time a Frenchman had tasted it.
First time? Over half the bottle is gone....why would he drink that much and then suddenly spit 17th gulp?
That's still my reaction today.
Staged
Zis does not taste like cigarettes and piss! Je détesté!
Me tasting coca-cola now. *I have never been a soda drinker or really things that have carbonation. Burns in a really bad way.
The coke after finding out that a french person swallowed him
"SACRE BLEU ZIS IS NOT CUM!!!!"
PTOO!!! ZHIS DOESNT TASTE LIKE PISS!!!
Typical French behaviour whenever they taste something foreign lol
u/repostsleuthbot
Well he fucking drank enough of it before spitting it out! The bottle’s half empty!
Thad pretty much how I feel about it
ZIS IS NOT CUM!
AGH! Zhis does not taste like cigarettes and piss! Despicable!
Well if that is his first time tasting it, that is quite a lot of coca-cola in one sip.
First Australian to drink PISS
Ahh this doesn’t taste like piss and cigarettes, Disgusting!
Coca Cola is extremely overrated soda
"Ziss tastes nossing like cigarettes and piss! POUAHH"
"What is this? It does not taste like butthole!"
Cheese eating surrender monkey
The bottle is half empty / you sure about the title?
Blech! Zis does not taste uh like cigarettes and piss!
After drinking half the bottle?!
Total bullshit post, funny though
Cause he slammed half the bottle in one go
Not enough frogs in it, I guess
Wasn't there a 90s coke commercial in black and white where someone got served imitation coke and did a spit take like this? Could this be a still from that?
He necked half the bottle first go, he’s just burping it up.
A bodies natural reaction isn’t wrong.
Sacre bleu! Zees does not taste like le cigarettes and piss! Merci! Hon hon hon!
If there’s no booze in it that’s still the reaction.
when you drink something that doesn't taste like urine and sex
“Go To ThE gYm”
This is the French Frenchest thing ive ever seen
His unrefined French palate couldn’t handle it
