John Pemberton was a pharmacist born in 1831 in Georgia who invented Coca-Cola. He earned his medical degree in 1850 and initially practiced medicine and surgery before opening a drug store. During the Civil War, he served as a lieutenant colonel in the Confederate Army. In 1886, Pemberton accidentally blended the Coca-Cola syrup with carbonated water and decided to sell it as a fountain drink rather than medicine. He claimed it provided health benefits like curing headaches and exhaustion. Frank Robinson came up with the name "Coca-Cola" and designed the script logo.

• He blended the base syrup with carbonated water by accident when trying to make
another glassful of the beverage. Pemberton decided then to sell this as a fountain drink
rather than a medicine. Frank Mason Robinson came up with the name "Coca-Cola" for
the alliterative sound, which was popular among other wine medicines of the time.
Although the name refers to the two main ingredients, because of controversy over
its cocaine content, The Coca-Cola Company later said that the name was "meaningless
but fanciful". Robinson hand wrote the Spencerian script on the bottles and ads.
Pemberton made many health claims for his product, touting it as a "valuable brain
tonic" that would cure headaches, relieve exhaustion, and calm nerves, and marketed it
as "delicious, refreshing, pure joy, exhilarating", and "invigorating".
