Coca-Cola was invented over one hundred years ago in Atlanta,Georgia, USA.

Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was combinedwith the new syrup, producing a soft drink that was proclaimed ‘Deliciousand Refreshing.’ He first ‘distributed’ the new product by carryingCoca-Cola in a jug down the street to Jacob’s Pharmacy. Pemberton’spartner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the nameCoca-Cola and penned it in the Spencerian script that is now famousaround the world today.Through the world’s largest distribution system, consumers in some200 countries enjoy products of the Coca-Cola Company (such asCoca-Cola, diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite) at a rate of more than one billionservings each day.
