The origin of Coca-Cola

In 1885, John Pemberton of Georgia, USA, wanted to invent a drink that many people in need of nutritional supplements would like to drink. He was stirring the prepared drink and found that it had a refreshing, calming effect and relieved headaches. He added the liquid to syrup and water, and the assistant accidentally added soda water, which tasted better this time.

Partner Robinson inspired the name from the two ingredients of the syrup, which are the leaves of coca (Coca) and the fruit of kola (Kola). In order to be consistent, Robinson named The K of Kola was changed to C, and a horizontal line was added between the two words, and Coca-Cola was born.

The Father of Coca-Cola

Candler founded the Coca-Cola Company in 1886. He is known as the "Father of Coca-Cola".

In 1919, Elntst Woodruff bought the Coca-Cola Company from the heirs of Asa Candler for $2.5 million. In 1923, his son Robert W. Woodruff, one of the most important figures in Coca-Cola's history, became Coca-Cola's CEO, and Woodruff began working with the company's bottling franchises.

In the 1920s, when Coca-Cola entered the Chinese market, it was first translated into the incomprehensible "tadpole chewing wax", and was later replaced by "Coca-Cola" translated by Professor Jiang Yi.
