Frenchman Tastes Coca-Cola

This is the closest thing we’ll ever get to a starving medieval child being handed a Dorito The first time a French man tasted Coca-Cola, 1950.

A black-and-white photograph shows a man in a beret being hit in the face by a forceful spray of Coca-Cola while holding a glass bottle. The joke compares his exaggerated reaction to a starving medieval child receiving a Dorito, framing the image as an absurdly intense first taste of a modern snack or drink. It is used as a reaction to overwhelming novelty or sensory shock.
