The history of Coca-Cola

The Coca-Cola company started 110 years ago as a small, insignificant one man business. Since then,
it has grown into one of the largest companies in the world. Coca-Cola was invented by Dr. John
Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist. He concocted the formula in a three legged brass kettle in his
backyard on May 08, 1886 by mixing lime, cinnamon, coca leaves, and the seeds of a Brazilian
shrub.

Coca-Cola was named by Frank Robinson, one of Pemberton's close friends. Robinson also designed
the famous Coca-Cola logo. Later, Dr. John Pemberton sold the Coca-Cola company to Asa Candler
for $2,300.

On January 31, 1893, the famous Coca-Cola formula was patented. In 1915 the Root Glass Company
made the contour bottle for the Coca-Cola company. Candler advertised Coca-Cola in newspapers
and billboards. Coca-Cola was sold after the prohibition era to Earnest Woodruff for 25 million
dollars. He gave Coca-Cola to his son, Robert Woodruff who would be president of the company for
six decades. Woodruff introduced the six bottle carton in 1923. He also made Coca-Cola available
tlu·ough vending machines in 1929. The Coca-Cola contour bottle was patented in 1977. The two
litter bottle was introduced in 1978. The same year, the company introduced plastic bottles.

During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca­
Cola company began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they the_n had to start
bottling the drink in Europe. Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including
Russia and China; it is the world's most popular drink.

As for the famous formula, it is probably the world's most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for
making Coca-Cola are only known to a handful of people. And as for the "coca" that was in the
original drink, that was eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous. Today's Coca-Cola
contains caffeine, but not cocaine!
1. Answer the following questions briefly. 4X1=4
a. Who invented Coca-Cola? What was his job?
b. Who did Pemberton sell the Coca-Cola company to?
c. Who made Coca-Cola available through vending machines and when?
d. When did the Coca-Cola company begin to export Coca-Cola to Europe?
