John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a  three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion  given by John Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson Birth of coca cola Being a bookkeeper, Frank Robinson also had excellent penmanship. It was  he who first scripted "Coca Cola" into the flowing letters which has  become the famous logo of today The soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886. About nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that  first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that  it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales  were a loss. Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut. Asa Candler In 1887, another Atlanta pharmacist and businessman, Asa Candler bought  the formula for Coca Cola from inventor John Pemberton for $2,300. By  the late 1890s, Coca Cola was one of America's most popular fountain  drinks, largely due to Candler's aggressive marketing of the product.  With Asa Candler, now at the helm, the Coca Cola Company increased syrup  sales by over 4000% between 1890 and 1900. Advertising was an important factor in John Pemberton and Asa Candler's  success and by the turn of the century, the drink was sold across the  United States and Canada. Around the same time, the company began  selling syrup to independent bottling companies licensed to sell the  drink. Even today, the US soft drink industry is organized on this  principle. Death of the Soda Fountain - Rise of the Bottling Industry Until the 1960s, both small town and big city dwellers enjoyed  carbonated beverages at the local soda fountain or ice cream saloon.  Often housed in the drug store, the soda fountain counter served as a  meeting place for people of all ages. Often combined with lunch  counters, the soda fountain declined in popularity as commercial ice  cream, bottled soft drinks, and fast food restaurants became popular. New coke On April 23, 1985, the trade secret "New Coke" formula was released.  Today, products of the Coca Cola Company are consumed at the rate of  more than one billion drinks per day. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Coca-Cola_Glas_mit_Eis.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Original  formulaPublished versions say it contains sugar or high fructose corn  syrup, caramel color, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca extract, kola nut  extract, lime extract, vanilla and glycerin. Alleged syrup recipes vary  greatly. The basic “cola” taste from Coca-Cola and competing cola drinks  comes mainly from vanilla and cinnamon; distinctive tastes among  various brands are the result of trace flavorings such as orange, lime  and lemon and spices such as nutmeg. To this day, Coca-Cola uses a United States license to purify the coca leaf for medicinal use. Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola  uses "spent," or treated, coca leaves, those that have been through a  cocaine extraction process, to flavor the beverage. The coca leaves are  imported from countries like Peru and Bolivia, and they are treated by  chemical company Stepan, which then sells the de-cocainized residue to  Coca-Cola.Some contend that this process cannot extract all of the  cocaine alkaloids at a molecular level, and so the drink still contains  trace amounts of the stimulant. The Coca-Cola Company currently refuses  to comment on the continued presence of coca leaf in Coca-Cola. A court case in Antalya, Turkey mentioned cochineal dye in Coca-Cola, but the company denies it currently uses the dye </blockquote>
