Coca-Cola

I should actually blog about Coca-Cola... my favourite drink, something which I can't live without!!! Hmmm thought of digging up about this tasty drink and below is something I found interesting..

Who invented 'Coca-Cola'?

Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta. During the first year, 'Coca-Cola' was invented on 8th May 1886 by Dr John S Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. The name 'Coca-Cola' was suggested by Dr Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. He penned the name 'Coca-Cola' in the flowing script that is famous today. 'Coca-Cola' was first sold at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta. During the first year, sales of 'Coca-Cola' averaged nine drinks a day, adding up to total sales for that year of $50. Today, products of The Coca-Cola Company are consumed at the rate of more than one billion drinks per day in around 200 countries. Cool eh! :) If you like to read more about this juss click here...
