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.
