Coca-Cola Company was incepted in 1886 by John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist who stirred up an aromatic, caramel-colored liquid. The blend was mixed with carbonated water and tasted by consumers. The founder’s bookkeeper named the blend Coca-Cola and wrote it out in his unique handwriting. Up to date, Coca-Cola is still inscribed the same way and most of the consumers have continued to use the brand. In the first year, the founder of the company was able to sell just nine glasses of Coca-Cola per day. One hundred years later, the company has generated over ten million gallons of syrup. In addition to this, Asa Griggs Candler, an Atlanta businessman secured the rights of the company for a total of approximately 42,300, and he became the first president of the company who brought the actual vision to the brand and the business.
