After he retired, he then focused mainly on promoting the drinks. Who knew that this little invention would last a lifetime? Pemberton had not known how to start advertising . A slogan. He came up with a design and a slogan to start him off on the right track. His slogan was “The Pause That Refreshes.” The coca cola did not start off very well the first year.

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.
In 1866 the curiosity of a pharmacist from the state of Atlanta by the name of Dr. John S. Pemberton led to him creating a beverage with a distinctive taste. The taste was so distinctive that it was immediately questioned if it can be sold in soda fountains. Dr. Pemberton then took his distinctive tasting beverage to a very good friend of his, Frank M. Robinson who was also a pharmacist. They both agreed to add carbonated water and sampled the drink around for reviews. After they received positive reviews on their new drink they decide to take things to the next level and become business partners. They agreed to sell their drink in the market and named the drink Coca-Cola. They also created its trademarked logo, which is still used today.
Coca-Cola argues many points in support of its marketing and image. Especially in the years following WWII, Coke has worked hard to present an image associated with having a good time. Since the late 1800s, Coke’s advertising has shown people in beautiful places and in beautiful clothes, having a beautiful time and enjoying their beautiful lives--even in times of war and economic recession. While wars, riots and scandals rage in this country, Coke has been “holding forth to the world a picture of itself as pleasant and rewarding--the kind of place most people would like for it to be” (Watters 216). In Coke’s more recent advertising, Coke continues its image of fun and beauty, showing teens enjoying a sunrise and at a rave dance party in the woods. However, these more current commercials were in response to two other adds that were considered “not funny” and “mean spirited” by public opinion polls (Sampey par 1-4). Those ads showed family members and friends physically fighting with each other because someone had forgotten to bring Coke.
