The Coca-Cola Company History
In July 1886, pharmacist John Stith Pemberton from Columbus, Georgia invented the original Coca-Cola drink, which was advertised as helpful in the relief of headaches, to be placed on sale primarily in drugstores as a medicinal beverage. Pemberton had made many mixing experiments and reached his goal during May, but the new product was as yet unnamed and uncarbonated.
The name “Coca-Cola” was first used in 1892, and over the years this delicious drink came to be known as the “water of the gods.” It was originally sold in the southern United States, where it was commonly mixed with water, and in the northern States, where it was commonly served over ice. In the early 1900s, it was first sold in glass bottles and then later in aluminum cans. Today it is sold in more than 200 countries around the world, and it's signature red and white bottle is one of the most recognized packaging symbols in the world.
The name Coca-Cola first appeared on the label in an early version of the recipe dated July 4, 1887. That original formula was a combination of kola nuts, coca leaves, and syrup of glucose and water. The recipe was also the inspiration for Coca-Cola’s first advertising campaign. Pemberton also built his first two plants to manufacture Coca-Cola, one in Atlanta and another in Columbus.
The first Coca-Cola drinks were sold in pharmacies in Atlanta, Georgia, in July 1887. The drink was originally called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca and was an extract of the coca leaf. Coca leaves were a common ingredient in many medicinal and non-medicinal drinks of the time. Pemberton’s French Wine Coca consisted of coca leaves ground with cold water to a fine powder, mixed with wine or other spirits.
Pemberton sold the first Coca-Cola recipe to Asa Candler, a businessman who had acquired the proprietorship of the once-famous Coca-Cola brand name, later that same year. The new beverage was a sensation. Candler established a production plant in Atlanta and began to sell Coca-Cola under the famous old trademark in pharmacies and soda fountains throughout the South. Within a few years, the company was producing thirty thousand barrels of Coca-Cola per year. bottling plants in other states, including Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.
The first Coca-Cola syrup product was simply called Coca-Cola and was originally intended as a medicine. As such, it was first sold in drugstores as a medicinal beverage. Because Pemberton's original goal was to create a medicine that would relieve headaches, the first Coca-Cola syrup product was initially sold primarily in drugstores as a medicinal beverage. Over time, as the original medicinal goal was outgrown, the product began to be sold in soda fountains, restaurants, and soda shops.
