Coca-Cola was founded on May 8, 1886, by Dr. John Pemberton a local pharmacist. produced the
syrup for Coca‑Cola, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy,
where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda
fountain drink. Since then, it became a theme that continues to echo today “Delicious and
Refreshing”. Dr. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name
and penned the now famous trademark "Coca‑Cola" in his unique script. The first newspaper ad
for Coca‑Cola soon appeared in The Atlanta Journal, inviting thirsty citizens to try "the new and
popular soda fountain drink." Hand-painted oilcloth signs reading "Coca‑Cola" appeared on store
awnings, with the suggestion "Drink" added to inform passersby that the new beverage was for
soda fountain refreshment. During the first year, sales averaged a modest nine drinks per day.

Coca-Cola products are widely known and consumed by almost everyone all over the world, so I
will definitely recommend this product but, I want to emphasize that there are some factors to
consider when consuming Coke because of its effects on our health. Although they produced a
drink that has less sugar, people will still look for that classic taste, so I would suggest that
everyone should drink it moderately or maybe occasionally.
