The story of Coca-Cola
What is the most recognizable1 object in the world?

The answer is a Coca-Cola bottle. The famous Coca-Cola bottle is 100 years old !
Coca-Cola is a permanent part of world culture. People know and drink Coca-Cola all over the world. It is
said that the Coca-Cola bottle is the most recognised object in the world. Hundreds of millions of people can
recognise a Coke bottle by its shape, even if they cannot see it! And the famous Coca-Cola logo2 is the most
famous logo in the world. Unlike3 any other famous commercial logo, it's not changed in 100 years!
But the story of Coca-Cola is even older than that. It was in 1886 that John Pemberton, a druggist 4 in
Atlanta, Georgia, invented a new type of syrup5, using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts6, plus a few other
secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine.
Pemberton's medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another druggist, Asa
Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea; he thought that Pemberton's "medicine" would
be much better if it was mixed with soda7.
Candler was the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. At first he sold it in his drugstore; then he
began selling the syrup to other drugstores, who used it with their soda fountains. Candler also advertised8 his
new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who
wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men became
millionnaires. The famous bottle, with its very distinctive9 shape, was designed in 1916.
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola
company began to export10 to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers, that they then had to start bottling the
drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the world's
most popular drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world's most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for
making Coca-Cola are only known to not many people.
