Cathrine Deulloa Professor B. McCurdy Business 300 3 May 2015 Coke Is Short for Coca Cola The history of Coca Cola dates all the way back to 1886 when John Pemberton, a pharmacist that studied medicine and pharmaceuticals at the Reform Medical College of Georgia in Macon, stumbled upon a taste bud enchanting drink that is well known today as Coca Cola. Pemberton’s preference was medical chemistry rather than regular medicine which explained his many attempts on trying to create a successful medicinal beverage. He created the syrup and took it to his neighborhood pharmacy where he got it carbonated. Then he took it to his partner/book keeper, Frank M. Robinson, where they came up with the name Coca Cola and got the drink established. John Pemberton’s idea of Coca Cola was invented to be used as a medicinal beverage that was supposed to help hair loss, relieve headaches, and help with addiction to morphine (although that did not pan out, because shortly after he created the medicine he became addicted to morphine, which initially contradicted the works of his medication). The medical ingredients in the drink actually derives from its name “Coca Cola”; "Coca" came from the Coca leaf, which is used to create cocaine that this soda contained, and "Cola" from the Kola nut, which provides the caffeine in the drink. When John Pemberton first started his business, it wasn 't thriving; he was making on average 9 sales a day, with only himself and his partner on the job and he didn
Where does Coca-Cola get its name? Why was it created? In 1886, the Georgia pharmacist, John Pemberton, designed Coca-Cola as a headache remedy and a stimulant. The original beverage contained cocaine and was used both as an intoxicating beverage and a medically useful tonic. The effects of the drink helped make it popular. Only in the early twentieth century was the drug eliminated from the Coca-Cola recipe and replaced with increased amounts of caffeine.[1]
John Stith Pemberton, a pharmacist and “cash-strapped morphine addict,” created Coca-Cola in 1886. He used a French wine called Vin Mariani as his product to replicate. Coca-Cola was different because it was water-based, not wine-based, and included kola nut, caffeine, coca leaf extract, and sugar. It was originally sold as a medicine, a “brain tonic” that “Cures Morphine and Opium Habits and Desire for Intoxicants.” Later broke and ill from his stomach problems and morphine addiction, Pemberton sold the patent to Coca-Cola to Asa Candler, who later officially created The Coca-Cola Company.
John Pemberton created Coca- Cola because of the Temperance. Since French Wine Coca had wine in it, it was made illegal. He needed something to sell to his costumers. John never got to see that his new soda product was a bestseller. He sold all the rights to the company 1n 1887.
Pharmacist John Pemberton originated Coke when he was trying to create a cure for headaches. He mixed different ingredients in a pot and then took the liquid that he created to the pharmacy to mix with soda water, creating Coca-Cola.

The story of Coca-Cola dates to the late 1800’s where an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Permberton, created a soft drink that would later develop into the “Coke” that is now a staple within many American households. Coca-Cola quickly found themselves bottling for mass production in 1899, which was something revolutionary for the time. No other soft drink was being mass-produced in bottles like Coke was attempting to do. This was due in large part to three businessmen out of Chattanooga who had purchased bottling rights, and had the mindset of taking the soft drink in a direction no other soft drink gone before. The famous Coca-Cola label and logo were not produced until 1916, but the label has never seen a change since.

It all started in April 1865, John Pemberton was serving for the Confederate Army’s 12th Cavalry Regiment in the Battle of Columbus Georgia (Journey). Pemberton got severely wounded and became addicted to the morphine he received when recovering. John Pemberton was a pharmacist and wanted to find a safer alternative to his addiction. At first, Pemberton created a beverage that had alcohol in it. But in 1886, Atlanta and Fulton County began to participate in the temperance movement, a social movement to consume alcohol in moderation (Journey).
