Coca-Cola started in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia.
A pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton wanted to invent a new medicine for headaches.
He mixed sweet syrup with different plant extracts.
At first, it was sold as a health drink, not a fun soda.
People bought it by the glass at a local pharmacy.
They did not get cans or bottles yet!
One day, the syrup was mixed with sparkling water instead of plain water.
Customers loved the fizzy taste! 💧
This accident turned the drink into a soft drink.
The name Coca-Cola was written in fancy script by Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Robinson.
He also designed the famous curly logo still used today.
At first, Coca-Cola was sold only at one soda fountain in Atlanta.
People came back again and again.
Word spread: this new drink was refreshing, especially on hot days.
Dr. Pemberton was often sick and needed money.
He slowly sold pieces of the Coca-Cola business.
A businessman named Asa Candler bought most of it.
Candler believed Coca-Cola could become very popular.
He focused on advertising and growing the brand.
