Coca~Cola

Ever wondered how this famous soft drink came to be?
This is one of the very fist Coca~Cola bottles
On may, 1886, a local pharmacist in Atlanta named John Pemberton  created this product in a three legged brass kettle in his back yard. Pembertons close friend and bookkeeper , Frank Robinson suggested the name Coca~Cola, and actually in scripted the familiar logo that we see on cans and bottles today. Because robinson was a bookkeeper his handwriting was extremely neat.

Coca~Cola was actually was  first introduced as a tonic, which contained traces of Koca nut (which was rich in caffeine) and Cocaine.
