The Atlanta Pharmacist: The Story Of Coca-Cola

Satisfactory Essays

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.
