Text 1 Coca-Cola was first created in 1885 at Columbus, Georgia in a three legged kettle by Dr. John Pemberton. It was originally a type of cocaine which was popular in Europe at the time. The original drink was non alcoholic, carbonated and included cocaine and caffeine from the Kola nut. It was originally sold in Jacob’s Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia on May 8, 1886. Originally, an elixir, it was believed to actually cure many diseases which included morphine addiction, impotence, headache, dyspepsia an others. In 1887, another pharmacist Asa Candler bought the formula from John Pemberton. This cost was $2,300, and within ten years, the soda became one of the most popular fountain drinks. It should be noted that the first few years, three versions of the soft drink were sold by three different companies. However, after some legal wrangling, in-fighting, buy outs and forgery, a second Coca-Cola company was created in 1892, this is the Coca-Cola Com- pany that still stands today. жүктеу/скачать 4,5 Mb.
