THE INVENTOR OF COCA-COLA: JOHN STITH PEMBERTON

IMG_9452.jpeg

John Stith Pemberton, born on July 8, 1831 in Knoxville, Georgia, United States, is known worldwide as the inventor of the Coca-Cola drink. 

Its creation has had a lasting impact on the beverage industry and global popular culture. Pemberton, a professional pharmacist, sought to develop a medicinal drink to help relieve his pain after being passed down in the American Civil War. In 1886, in his laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia, Pemberton created a syrup based on extract of coca leaves and kola nuts, mixed with carbonated water. 

Initially, the drink was marketed as a medicinal tonic called "French Wine Coca." When Atlanta implemented an alcohol ban in 1886, Pemberton modified his formula to create a non-alcoholic drink. The result was Coca-Cola, a drink that quickly gained popularity for its unique and refreshing taste. 

The iconic Coca-Cola name and logo were created by Pemberton's partner, Frank M. Robinson. Although Pemberton sold the rights to his formula to several partners due to financial and health problems, his invention laid the foundation for what would become one of the most recognized and valuable brands in the world. 

Coca-Cola remains a symbol of innovation and commercial success. John Stith Pemberton passed away on August 16, 1888, but his legacy lives on in every bottle of Coca-Cola enjoyed around the world.
