In the original Old Testament eve was not Adam’s first wife. God made Adam and his first wife out of clay. She was part human the top half part snake the bottom half. She was a disobedient wife so Adam had god kick her out of Eden which the name Eden being the garden  that started man was taken from the Sumerians they had it first by thousands of years. Then god took Adams rib and made eve his obedient wife. It was Adam’s X wife that tricked eve into eating the apple not Satan a talking snake but Adams X wife half woman half snake. That entire story came from the Egyptians. They had a half snake half woman in an apple tree poring apple juice down from the tree on to a man and the ancient drawing speaks volumes. The fact the Bible changed it self from that earlier story to a talking snake shows how fake it is just changing its story to suit the priest as they go along. 

 

Joseph Charles, the creator of Trinidad and Tobago’s famous Solo soft drink, was born Serjad Makmadeen in Princes Town in 1910. 

The son of an East Indian immigrant father and Martiniquan mother, Charles became a gardener at age 10 in order to assist his family financially. In 1922, he moved to St. James and began working at a bakery, where he became a top salesman by cultivating a loyal clientele. 

In later years, he purchased the “Delaware Punch” soft-drink company on Patna Street, St. James. He and his wife bottled their drinks manually, producing one bottle of soft drink every two minutes. He sold the drinks to customers while continuing his bread delivery service. 

When Charles attempted to market the drink to foreign investors, no one responded to his letters signed with his given name. He decided to change his name to Joseph Charles, which immediately garnered investors. 

During World War II, Charles decided to purchase the entire stock of a Canadian bottling company that was shutting down because there was a shortage of glass bottles. When he received them, they were all printed with the word “Solo” and the image of a pilot having a drink after completing a solo flight. Charles decided to keep the bottles and have the name “Solo” become the brand name of his soft-drink company, with their trademark heavy glass bottles. This is how Solo Beverages began.

Solo Beverages has consistently supported local endeavours such as sports (The Trinidad & Tobago Great Race), music (the Solo Harmonites) and talent shows like Scouting for Talent and Mastana Bahar.
