2. Coca-Cola Company
• The Coca-Cola Company, American corporation founded
in 1892 and today engaged primarily in the manufacture
and sale of syrup and concentrate for Coca-Cola, a
sweetened carbonated beverage that is a cultural
institution in the United States and a global symbol of
American tastes. The company also produces and sells
other soft drinks and citrus beverages. With more than
2,800 products available in more than 200 countries,
Coca-Cola is the largest beverage manufacturer and
distributor in the world and one of the largest
corporations in the United States. Headquarters are
in Atlanta, Georgia.

4. Coca-Cola History
• The drink Coca-Cola was originated in 1886 by an Atlanta pharmacist,
John S. Pemberton (1831–88), at his Pemberton Chemical Company. His
bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, chose the name for the drink and penned it
in the flowing script that became the Coca-Cola trademark. Pemberton
originally touted his drink as a tonic for most common ailments, basing it
on cocaine from the coca leaf and caffeine-rich extracts of the kola nut; the
cocaine was removed from Coca-Cola’s formula in about 1903. Pemberton
sold his syrup to local soda fountains, and, with advertising, the drink
became phenomenally successful. By 1891 another Atlanta pharmacist,
Asa Griggs Candler (1851–1929), had secured complete ownership of the
business (for a total cash outlay of $2,300 and the exchange of some
proprietary rights), and he incorporated the Coca-Cola Company the
following year. The trademark “Coca-Cola” was registered in the U.S.
Patent Office in 1893.
