 COCA COLA COMPANY
INTRODUCTION :
Certainly! Coca-Cola, one of the world's most iconic beverages,
was created in 1886 by John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The
drink's origins trace back to Pemberton's quest to develop a tonic, initially conceived as a
medicinal remedy. He concocted a syrup combining coca leaves (a source of cocaine, which was
later removed from the recipe) and kola nuts, thus naming it Coca-Cola.

The first sales of Coca-Cola were modest, initially averaging about nine servings per day. Asa
Griggs Candler, a businessman, obtained the rights to the formula in 1888. His efforts to market
and distribute Coca-Cola helped it gain widespread popularity.

Candler's aggressive marketing strategies, including coupons for free samples and distributing
clocks, calendars, and other promotional items featuring the Coca-Cola logo, contributed
significantly to its success. By the early 20th century, Coca-Cola had become a household name
in the United States.

The distinctive contour bottle design of Coca-Cola was introduced in 1916, aiming to make the
drink distinguishable even in the dark or when shattered. This design contributed to the brand's
identity and recognition.

Throughout the years, Coca-Cola expanded its product line to include different variations like
Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, and numerous flavors to cater to evolving consumer
preferences.

Coca-Cola's advertising has been notably influential. The company's marketing campaigns,
featuring slogans like "It's the Real Thing," "Open Happiness," and memorable commercials,
have left an indelible mark on global pop culture.

Today, Coca-Cola is a global beverage company, offering more than 500 brands in over 200
countries. Its presence extends far beyond just the original Coca-Cola soda, encompassing a wide
array of beverages, including juices, teas, sports drinks, and bottled water. The brand has also
diversified into various ventures and partnerships, focusing on sustainability, social
responsibility, and innovation.
