GROWTH OF COCA COLA The Coca-Cola recipe was made at the Eagle Drug and Chemical Company, a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia by John Pemberton, originally as a coca wine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca. In 1886, when the county passed legislation which prohibited the alcoholic version, Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, a non-alcoholic version. The soft drink was first sold to the public in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886. It proved popular in the United States at the time due to the belief that carbonated water was good for the health. Pemberton claimed Coca-Cola cured many diseases, including morphine addiction, dyspepsia, neurasthenia and headache.
Coca-Cola was first sold in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia and was the creation of John Styth Pemberton. It was Pemberton who made the first Coke commercial, using the advertising slogan "Delicious, Refreshing, Exhilarating" which, compared to today's short, snappy and easy to remember slogans, is primitive. It was Asa Candler who made Coca-Cola the popular drink of today, after having bought Coca-Cola for a small price in 1888. He changed the recipe by removing the alcohol and cocaine and spent a record 20% revenue on advertising. Candler was one of the first people to make advertising pay off in a big way for their company.
