Coca-Cola's birthday
In March 1886, in Atlanta, Colonel John Stith Pemberton, a pharmacist by training, was trying to find a cure for headaches. For this purpose, he brewed an unusual caramel-colored syrup. The drink's recipe included a decoction of coca leaves, sugar and caffeine. Therefore, the drink turned out to be quite stimulating in its effect.
The syrup was sweet and thick; Pemberton praised the taste of his creation quite highly. He decided to sell it through Jacobs Pharmacy. The first portions of syrup began to be sold here for five cents per glass. At first, coca was sold in the amount of nine glasses a day.
Later, sparkling water was added to the drink. Around the same time, the drink received the name “Coca-Cola.” The name and original font were invented by Frank Robinson, a friend and partner of John Pemberton.
After Pemberton's death, successful businessman Asa Kendler purchased the Coca-Cola recipe from his widow for $2,300. And then Candler placed the drink in a metal container, in which he brewed it along with his own patented “Plant Blood Balm.” Over the next ten years, Coca-Cola strengthened its title as a “medicinal drink.” And on January 31, 1893, the Coca-Cola trademark was officially registered in the United States.
By the way, it was in the same 1893 that a young pharmacist from New Bern, Caleb Bradham, conducted an experiment to create a pharmaceutical mixture of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils and cola nuts. This unusual mixture, under the silent name “Brad’s drink,” began to be sold in pharmacies as a cheerful, strengthening and digestive drink. Five years after its invention, Bradham gave the drink a new name, Pepsi-Cola, and registered it as a trademark. The name was made up of the names of the ingredients - pepsin (a digestive enzyme) and kola nut.
Four years later, in 1902, Caleb Bradham formed the Pepsi-Cola Company. And for more than a century, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola have been fighting for the title of the most popular drink in the world.
