Things Go Better with Coca-Cola

Coca-cola is enjoyed all over the world. 1.6 billion gallons are sold every year, in over one hundred and sixty countries. The drink was invented by Dr. John Pemberton in Atlanta as a health drink on 8 May 1886, but it was given the name Coca-cola by his partner, Frank Robinson, because it was originally made from the coca (cocaine) plant. In the first year, only 9 drinks a day were sold.

The business was bought by a man called Asa Candler in 1888, and the first factory was opened in Dallas, Texas, in 1895. Coca-cola is still made there. Billions of bottles and cans have been produced since 1895, but the recipe is still kept secret!

Diet Coke has been made since 1982, and over the years many clever advertisements have been used to sell the products. It is certain that Coca-cola will be drunk far into the twenty-first century.
