Origin of coca-cola

  • In the late 18th century, a colonel named John Pemberton, who was addicted to morphine drugs was on restriction due to his injuries. As he had a medical degree too, he found a recipe for a drink with coca wine and kola nut for caffeine.

  • Later it was presented as kola-coca, a spanish drink which a year later in 1886 the official birth of "coca-cola" took place. Later this spanish drink rights were brought by coca-cola in 1953.

  • During the 1880's there was a belief that carbonated water was good for health.

  • Later in 1886, pemberton's new drink infused with carbonated water started getting popular and was sold as a cure for many diseases with patents like drug addictions, nerve disorders, headaches etc.

  • In 1888, after the death of Pemberton, Asa chandler approached the Pemberton family and brought the rights of coca-cola for $300, and later became sole proprietor of coca-cola brand and company.

  • Do you know the fact that coca-cola is sold all over the world except in North Korea and Cuba countries? They are not legally sold in these two countries till date.

  • The recipe is still kept as one of the top secrets of the company.

  • In 1985, the company tried to change the original recepie, but they received a huge backlash from the consumers. So they came back to the old recipe again with the name coca-cola classic within a few months.
