About
This Date
Coca-Cola was invented in May, 1886, by Dr. John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. The name came from his bookkeeper who wrote it out in the script that is famous today. They sold the drink at a soda fountain with no profits the first year. The business was sold to Asa Candler for $2,300, but it was a Mississippi candy store owner who thought of bottling drinks in the back room. In 1899, large-scale bottling began, and today more than 834 million drinks are sold each day.
