In 1885, john pemberton, Georgia, USA, invented a dark syrup called Pemberton's French Wine Coka in pemberton. In 1885, the government issued a prohibition order, so pemberton invented Pemberton's French Wine Coka without alcohol. On May 8, 1886, he wanted to invent a drink, which made many people who needed nutrition supplements like to drink.

that day, he was stirring the prepared beverage, and found that it had the functions of refreshing, calming and relieving headache. He added syrup and water to this liquid, and then added ice cubes. He tasted it and it was delicious, but when pouring the second cup, the assistant accidentally added soda water (carbon dioxide+water), which was even better this time.

Frank M.Robinson, a partner, inspired the naming idea from two ingredients of syrup, namely the leaves of Coca and the fruit of Kola. Robinson changed the K of Kola to C for uniformity, and then added a horizontal line between the two words, so Coca-Cola was born. The first Coca-Cola was sold for five cents.

It's two American lawyers who really make Coca-Cola show its strength. They went to the office of Asa Candler, the boss of the Coca-Cola Company at that time, and put forward an innovative way of business cooperation, that is, the Coca-Cola Company sold them syrup, and the companies and sales points they invested in their own production mixed the syrup with water, bottled it, sold it, and produced it according to the requirements of the Coca-Cola Company with quality assurance.
