Who invented Coca Cola?
The Invention of Coca Cola
Who invented Coca Cola? Released in 1886, the recipe for this highly popular soft drink was invented by John Pemberton some time in 1885. Its original name was Pemberton’s French Wine Coca, which was basically an alcoholic beverage made up of cocaine and wine. At first, the intended purpose for developing such product was to treat different kinds of illnesses including impotence, headache as well as neurasthenia. Likewise, it was also used to cure other diseases such as dyspepsia and morphine addiction.
Additional Facts and Other Important Information
The invention of Coca-Cola started out when Pemberton was working as a chemist and druggist in Columbus, Georgia. In his quest to produce a coca wine, he combined damiana, kola nut and coca, and later on called the mixture Pemberton’s French Wine Coca. Because of the temperance legislation that was implemented in Fulton County and Atlanta some time in 1885, he decided to create a non-alcoholic variant of the original mixture. Frank Mason Robinson, who was then a significant marketer of the product during those times, coined the name Coca-Cola.

i realy like Cherry Cola its one of my favorites Cherry Cocoa Cola
When I was a child there was always old bottles of concentrated Coca Cola in the medicine cabinet.
Mom would give it to us for upset stomach and other stuff.
It really looked old, like this:
I wonder if I was a “coke head” as a child.
There was this little feed store some six miles from our town and they had one of those old coca cola vending machines and for one thin dime you could get a cold 12 oz bottle of coke
@Spurwing Plover: Hate to correct you spurwing, but when cokes were a dime, they were all 6 1/2 oz. Pepsi’s and RC’s were 10 oz. I grew up in rural backwoods Georgia and we liked the Cokes and Pepsi’s.
24 bottle case of 16 oz bottles available only at Sams club here, no one sells my favorite here the 6.5 oz bottles of Orange Crush. Icy cold soda from bottles is so much better than from plastic or aluminum.
There are many things we dont know about the inventors of everyday things. Ford inventor of the assembly line was a raging anti-semite.
@kitt: True, Kitt. I watched that recent, very good story about how American cars were built from the early days, and of course, rightfully Henry Ford gets credit for the assembly line, the beginning of middle class America. I don’t recall any point in it where it was mentioned about him being anti-Semitic. (and I’ve never heard that anywhere else either. ) But I have heard that Anti-semiticism was very popular back before WWII. I know I never heard good things about Jews in rural Georgia back in the 40’s and 50’s. I never knew any, so I had no opinion.
@Redteam: Its easy to find, Ford only held union organizers in higher contempt. It was the age in which he lived, those that tear down history in hopes to wipe out todays bigotry or racism will only destroy the lessons we learned.
No normal person agrees with the KKK or neo-nazis, most are just exactly like the opposing side losers looking to blame something or someone for personal failures or profit from the division, they cause this type of insanity http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3173456/Vigilante-protesters-start-DIGGING-body-Confederate-general-Nathan-Forrest-KKK-leader-grave.html
@kitt:
Interesting. I didn’t see much about union organizers on that show either. So, if Ford didn’t like union organizers or Jews, you would have to watch another show to hear about it. I have no opinion. I still don’t understand why Jews have historically been mistreated. I don’t see where they are that different than any other ‘group’ of people. I’m assuming it’s because Jesus was a Jew and the people (most at the time) were not Christians, so they disliked anything about him or his race. From my own experience, most middle eastern people seem to feel as if Jesus were credited as being ‘the Savior’ that it made all others a lesser class. I feel as if that is antithetical to the true beliefs or teachings of Christ.
