A 1942 Coca-Cola advertisement carrying the line "Wherever thirst goes" places the drink alongside the American servicemen who were then fighting across the globe. The slogan was part of the company's wartime campaign, which pitched Coke as a familiar taste of home for troops stationed overseas. Coca-Cola's bottling plants were set up near many military camps and combat zones, and the company's leadership was closely tied to that effort. The ad is worth a look for its direct appeal to patriotism and for how it turns a soft drink into a symbol of service.
