Coca Cola all over the word. Hundreds of millions of people can recognize a Coke bottle by its
shape, even if they cannot see it! And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most famous logo in the
world. But the story of Coca-Cola is even older than that. It was in 1886 that John Pemberton, a
pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, invented a new type of drink. He used coca leaves, sugar and cola
nuts, plus a few other secret elements. Pemberton sold it as a medicine. Nevertheless, Pemberton's
medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another pharmacist, Asa Candler.
Candler was interested because he had another idea. He thought that Pemberton's "medicine" would
be much better if it was mixed with soda. As a result, Candler was the man who really invented the
drink Coca-Cola. At first, he sold it in his drugstore and latter in other drugstores. Candler also
advertised his new drink and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
