CocaCola
Probably you wonder what can be said about Coca Cola. Is it just a popular drink? Or maybe just a sugar filled sweetened fattening drink? A drink which almost hasn’t changed in the last 100 years?
Actually, I want to tell you about Coca Cola as it’s one of the most successful brands that have ever existed and that has managed to form the popular culture.

Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, in 1886. The “Coke” formula was discovered in a brass kettle in his patio as a nerve tonic, energizer and remedy for a headache having the stimulant properties of the coca plant and cola nuts sweetened with sugar. His bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, came up with the name for the drink and wrote it down, what has become the Cola cola trademark and a popular symbol of our times.
It was advertised as a delicious, exhilarating, refreshing and invigorating cooler.
The cocaine was removed from Coca Cola’s formula about 1903. Pemberton sold his syrup to local soda fountains and the drink quickly became exceptionally successful. By 1891 another Atlanta pharmacist had bought the Coca cola business and in 1893 registered the trademark Coca Cola in the U.S. Patent Office.
