What is Coca Cola?

In 1886, Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, returned from the Civil War with hopes of inventing something that would bring him success. Because Pemberton’s previous experiments with medicines had been largely unsuccessful, he opted for a different angle; he decided to make his own soda fountain syrup. After stirring up his distinctly flavored, caramel-colored syrup, Pemberton headed to his neighborhood pharmacy, Jacob’s Pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water. There, the drink was sampled by customers who agreed that it was something special. Jacob’s Pharmacy began selling the drink for five cents a glass; shortly after, it was named Coca-Cola by Pemberton’s partner, Frank Robinson, who also helped to develop the classic red-and-white script that is still used today. Nowadays, Coca-Cola has become one of the most recognizable brands and trademarks in the world. With over 1.7 billion servings of Coca-Cola products being served each day, Coca-Cola continues to be one of the world’s most ubiquitous beverages.
