The Surprising Story Behind Coca-Cola
In 1886, Atlanta pharmacist Dr. John Pemberton created a medicinal tonic to relieve headaches and boost energy — but his experiment led to the birth of one of the world’s most famous drinks. Originally called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca, the formula had to change when Georgia passed prohibition laws, giving rise to the non-alcoholic Coca-Cola we know today.
This video explores the fascinating early days of Coca-Cola — from coca leaf extract and kola nut caffeine to Frank Robinson’s creation of the name and iconic script logo. Discover how the drink, first sold at Jacob’s Pharmacy for five cents a glass, grew from a local curiosity into a global cultural symbol. We’ll uncover its humble beginnings, early marketing strategies, and the vision that turned it into a household name.
