Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink was a type of
syrup, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine;
and with its coca (the source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another druggist, Asa
Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much better if
it was mixed with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also advertised
his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who wanted to sell it
in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men became millionaires. The
famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was designed in 1916. And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most
famous logo in the world. Unlike any other famous commercial logos, it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola company
began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the world’s most
popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world’s most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for making Coca-
Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that was in the original drink, that was
eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today’s Coca-Cola contains caffeine, but not cocaine!
