The Short History of Coca-Cola

 COLEGIO DE LA SALLE CARTAGENA L-GEP-14
TALLER Vigente desde:

In 1886 John Pemberton, a druggist in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), made a brown syrup by mixing coca
leaves and cola nuts. Pemberton sold the syrup in his drugstore as a medicine to cure all kinds of
problems. He called his all-purpose medicine “Coca-Cola”.

When few people bought Coca-Cola, Pemberton sold the recipe to another druggist, Asa Candler.
Candler decided to sell Coca-Cola as a soda-fountain drink instead of a medicine.

At the soda fountains in drugstores, the syrup was mixed with soda water to make the drink Coca-
Cola.

Candler advertised a lot and sold his syrup to many drugstores. Soon everyone was going to soda
fountains and asking for Coca-Cola.

Candler saw no reason for putting Coca-Cola into bottles. But, two businessmen thought this would
be a good idea. They got permission from Candler, and before long they became millionaires.

As of 1903, coca leaves were no longer used in Coca-Cola. The exact ingredients used and their
quantities are not known – the Coca-Cola Company keeps its recipe a secret. World War I helped
make Coca-Cola popular outside the United States.

The Coca-Cola Company sent free bottles of the drink to U.S. soldiers fighting in Europe. Coca-
Cola became very popular with the soldiers – so popular that the U.S. Army asked the company to
start ten factories in Europe. After the war, these factories continued to make Coca-Cola. Today,
they are Coca-Cola factories around the world.

a). How was Coca-Cola first used?

publicity.__________________________________________________________________
