The Short History of Coca-Cola
In 1886 John Pemberton, a druggist in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), made a brown syrup by mixing coca
leaves and cola mats. Pemberton sold the syrup in his
drugstore as a medicine to cure all kinds of
problems. He called his all-purpose medicine "
Coca
-
Cola"
When few people bought Coca-Cola, Pemberton sold the recipe to another druggist, Asa Candler.
Candler decided to sell Coca-Cola as a soda-
fountain drink instead of a medicine.
At the soda fountains in drugstores, the syrup was mixed with soda water to make the drink Coca-
Cola Candler advertised a lot and sold his syrup to many drugstores. Soon everyone was
going to soda
fountains and asking for Coca-Cola.
Candler saw no reason for putting Coca-Cola into bottles. But two businessmen thought this
would be a good idea. They got permission from Candler, and before long they became millionaires
As of 1903, coca leaves were no longer used in Coca-Cola. The exact ingredients used and
their quantities aren't known-the Coca-Cola Company keeps its recipe a secret. World War I helped
make Coca-Cola popular outside the United States
The Coca-Cola Company sent free bottles of the drink to U.S. soldiers fighting in Europe
Coca-Cola became very popular with the soldiers-so popular that the U.S. Army asked the company
to start ten factories in Europe After the war, these factories continued to make Coca-Cola Today,
they ate Coca-Cola factories around the world
