    Coca-Cola was originally invented by John Styth

    Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. In

    1886, he made up a new kind of medicine to cure


    John Pemberton
    tiredness and headaches. Two of the most important

    ingredients at that time were coca leaves and kola nuts – and that’s how the

    drink got its name. The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John

    Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885. Pemberton sold

    the first glass on May 8, 1886. But it tasted revolting, and as a result

    almost nobody wanted to buy it. In the first year, Pemberton only made $

    50 from it!

    Then a businessman called Asa Griggs Candler bought the recipe in 1887

    and advertised it, not as a medicine but as a refreshing

    drink. All he did was mix it with water and carbon dioxide!

    It worked. Everybody wanted to buy it and in only a few

    years Coca-Cola became the national drink of the United States. The shape

    of the famous bottle was invented in 1915 by bottle designer Earl R. Dean.

    During the Second World War American soldiers drank

    three million bottles of Coca-Cola a day! They therefore

    helped to spread the name and the taste for ‘Coke’ all over

    the world. Today, nearly 300 million bottles are drunk

    every day, in 155 different countries.

    Anybody can try to make a drink which tastes something

    like Coca-Cola. Chemists say that it consists almost entirely of fourteen

    ingredients. They
    include sugar, caramel, caffeine, phosphoric acid, extract of kola nuts,

    cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, glycerine, lavender, fluid extract of guarana, lime

    juice, and citrus oils. The most secret ingredient is called ‘7X’, and is less

    than one per cent of the drink. But nobody outside the Coca-Cola company

    has yet discovered what the ‘magic’ extra ingredient is, and very few people

    have ever known the secret formula of this world-famous soft drink.
