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.
