In 1886 John Pemberton , a druggist in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), made a brown
syrup by mixing coca leaves and cola nuts. Pemberton sold the syrup in his
drugstore as a medicine to cure all kinds of problems. He called his all-purpose
medicine “Coca-Cola”.
When few people bought Coca-Cola, Pemberton sold the recipe to another
druggist, Asa Candler.
Candler decided to sell Coca-Cola as a soda-fountain drink instead of a medicine.
At the soda fountains in drugstores, the syrup was mixed with soda water to make the drink
Coca-Cola. Candler advertised a lot and sold his syrup to many drugstores. Soon everyone was going
to soda fountains and asking for Coca-Cola.
Candler saw no reason for putting Coca-Cola into bottles. But two businessmen thought this
would be a good idea.They got permission from Candler , and before long they became millionaires.
As of 1903, coca leaves were no longer used in Coca-Cola. The exact ingredients used and
their quantities aren’t known – the Coca-Cola Company keeps its recipe a secret. World War I helped
make Coca-Cola popular outside the United States.
The Coca-Cola Company sent free bottles of the drink to U.S. soldiers fighting in Europe.
Coca-Cola became very popular with the soldiers – so popular that the U.S. Army asked the company
to start ten factories in Europe. After the war, these factories continued to make Coca-Cola. Today,
they are Coca-Cola factories around the world.
