John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, invented Coca-Cola in 1886. He created a carbonated soft drink that was sold at soda fountains. Pemberton experimented with a formula including coca leaves and kola nuts. Frank Robinson, Pemberton's partner, named the new beverage "Coca-Cola". Pemberton sold portions of his business before his death in 1888, with the majority being purchased by businessman Asa G. Candler. Coca-Cola has since become one of the most recognizable brands worldwide.
2. 1886 is the year when Coca Colas history begins. A curious pharmacist named
John Stith Pemberton created a soft drink that was sold at soda fountains.
John Stith Pemberton was born 8th of july 1831 in Knoxville, Georgia. He died 16th of august
1888 in Atlanta, Georgia. John lived in Atlanta, Georgia. John was married with Ann Elzia
Clifford Lewis. Pemberton only got one child, and his name was Charles Ney Pemberton.
(Unfortunately i coulden´t find any photos of Ann and Charles.)
Like i wrote before was he a pharmacist, and he invented a soda in 1866 that soon will be named
Coca Cola. But first John sold the soda under the namn “Pembertons french wine coca”. When
the soda got the name Coca Cola, it was the year 1886.
Two years after Dr. Pemberton created Coca-Cola, he unfortunately died. But before that he
actually sold portions of his busniess. The majority was sold to a busniessman nemad
Asa G. Candler.
3. Frank Mason Robinson was Jonh S. Pembertons partner and bookkeeper.
Frank M. Robinson was born in the year 1845 in Corinth, Maine. He died 1923 in Atlanta,
Georgia. M. Robinson was married to a women named Laura Clapp.
Frank came to Atlanta 1886, where he soon became a important marketer.
Dr. John Pemberton was experimenting with a formula that included coca leaves and kola nuts.
The formula was introduced in may 1886 at the Jacobs pharmacy in Atlanta.
Frank gave this formula the name Coca-Cola.
The Coca Cola name was written in Spencerian script which was popular with bookkeepers of
the area. The script will soon be one of the most recognized trademarks in the world.

5. Coca Cola has exicted in many diffrent flavors, and you can still get hold of some
of the flavors. But som flavores doesn´t exict anymore. Some of the flavores was
good, but some was a little bit wierd. All the flavores you can se on this side is not
all of them, but it´s mot of them.
Coca Colas most famous flavores right now is Coca Cola, Coca Cola Light,
Coca Cola Life and Coca Cola Zero.
6. Coca Cola is always trying to make people happy, so they decided to start a
happiness-campaign. The Happiness campaign got worldwide 2009 and has since
that just got bigger.
Happiness to Coca Cola is anything that can bring a smile to someones face. Coca
Cola has written this on their website:
“We´re in the business of spreading smiles and opening happiness every day all
across the world. We know we might not change the world over night, but if
we can add just a few smiles to the world the we´ve done our job!”

7. You may be suprised when you hear that Santa
hasn´t always lookt like he does. Santa has been
tall, skinny, a dwart, you name it!
Many people say that coca cola is the creator of
how Santa Claus looks, and that may not be
completely true. Santa Claus has been wearing a
red suit and been grown up for a long time before
coca cola came in to the picture.
Today , Santa Claus is famous all over the world
as the kind, old man who brings Christmas gifts to the children. Santa Claus will be used in a
massive range as a commercial eye catcher, in particular after 1930, when Coca-Cola for the first
time painted him in their advertisements. There he had a big white beard, black boots, a big red
coat, and an infectious laugh. Just as we know and love him today.
With that Coca Cola spread the commercial with Santa, and it soon became the Santa we know
today with a big smile, a red suit, white beard and so on. So Coca Cola hade big part of spreading
Santa to the world, and beacuse Coca Cola
is a big company many started to se the
Coca Cola - Santa as the Santa Claus it is
today.
The one to create our picture of Sant Claus
is named Haddan Sundblom, and he was
the one Coca Cola hired to paint Santa to
thier christmas commercial.

9. Coca Colas bottles has changed a little bit over the years. This year, 2015, Coca Cola celebrate
100years of Coca Cola bottles.
A few decades after dr.Pemberton gave Coca Cola its taste, an Indiana glass company gave Coca
Cola it signature curves, this was the year 1915.
“A bottle so distinct that you would recognise if by feel in the dark or lying broken on the
ground.”

What´s great with Coca Cola is that even the richest cosumeras buys the same thing as the
poorest. If you waych TV for exampel and sees the Coca Cola ad, you know that presedent
drinks Coke, and so does many many celebreties. Than think, even you can drink Coca Cola.
Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than someone is drinking.
All cokes are the same, the president knows it, celebreties knows it and you know it!
10. Today we celebrate 100years of the famous Coca Cola bottle.
Coca Cola owns alot of different brand, it is just not the
Coca Cola brand.
Fanta is a soda produced of the Coca Cola Company. Fanat was
devolped 1940 of Dr. Schetelig. Fanta was on the market 1941 i
Germany, but how they first strted to creat Fanta is a little bit funny
history.
Under world war 2, Coca Colas allies broke the trade realations
with Germany. So they hadn´t all the ingrediens to make Coca Cola,
so they came up with the idé to make a fruit drink of all the products
and ingredies that was avalible.
Sprite is a soda with taste of lemon and lime. Sprite originated in
Germany where it wsa called “Fanta Klare Zitrone”.
Sprite started selling in the US in 1961, and sells now in over 160
countries.
Christmas 2013 a special variant of Sprite came in the US called
Sprite Cranberry, and tasted cranberries.
The water is sold in many countries, with or without gas or taste.
BonAqua has some different fruit flavores, like pear, starwberry,
rasberry and bloodorange for example.
11. Powerade is a sportdrink that the Coca Cola Company owns, like the rest of the brand on this
page. Powerade is a improved version of the 1980 century sport drink from Florida called
Gatorade. Sportrade came to Sweden 2001, but started to sell in
the US market 1988.
The Coca Cola company bought MER 1997. Before that MER
