In 1886, Coca-Cola was invented by a pharmacist named John Pemberton everything he made failed in pharmacies so decided to try his hand in the beverage market And this was when Coca-Cola was born. SLOGAN "The Pause That Refreshes."
Coke did not do so well in its first year. And to make matters worse, Doc Pemberton died in August 1888 Candler rescued the business. In 1891, he became the sole owner of CocaCola. Candler also decided to spread the word of Coca-Cola by plastering logos on calendars, posters, notebooks and bookmarks to reach customers on a large stage. He hired traveling salesmen to pass out coupons for a free Coke. His goal was for people to try the drink, like it, and buy it later on
In addition to the coupons A controversial move on the part of Candler was to sell Coca-Cola syrup as a patent medicine, claiming it would get rid of fatigue and headaches. In 1898, however, Congress passed a tax in the wake of the Spanish-American war. The tax was on all medicines, so Coca-Cola wanted to be sold only as a beverage. After a court battle, CocaCola was no longer sold as a drug.
Coca cola once contained an estimated 9 mili grams of cocaine per glass. In 1903 it was removed. Feb 2003 report showed that soft drinks were extremely dangerous to Indian citizens, based on the reports conducted by Pollution Monitoring Laboratory High fructose corn syrup Acidity and tooth decay
