__an___ druggist in Atlanta, Georgia, invented a new type __of___ syrup, using coca leaves, sugar
and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine; and with its
coca (the source __of___ cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton_s_ medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to
another druggist, Asa Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea; he thought that
Pemberton_s_ "medicine" would be much better if it was mixed with soda.
Candler was thus _the___ man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. At first he sold it in his
drugstore; then he began selling the syrup to other drugstores, who used it with their soda fountains.
Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon people were going to drugstores just to get a drink
of Coca-cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple __of___
businessmen who wanted to sell it in bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very
quickly the men became millionnaires. ___The__ famous bottle, with its very distinctive shape, was
designed in 1916.
During __the___ First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so
__the___ Coca-cola company began to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers, that they
then had to start bottling _the___ drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over __the__ world, including Russia and China; it is the
world_s_ most popular drink.
As for _the___ famous formula, it is probably __the__ world_s_ most valuable secret! __the___
exact ingredients for making Coca-Cola are only known to a handful __of___ people. And as for the
"coca" that was in the original drink, that was eliminated in 1903. It was a drug, and too dangerous.
Today_a__ Coca-Cola contains caffeine, but not cocaine!
