 | Coca-ColaThe biggest-selling soft drink in history, and the best-known product in the world! 'Coca-Cola' was created on 8th May 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton, and was first offered as a soda fountain beverage - produced by mixing 'Coca-Cola' syrup with carbonated water - at Jacob's Pharmacy, Atlanta. 'Coca-Cola' arrived in Britain in 1900, when Charles Candler son of the Company founder, Asa Candler brought a jug of syrup with him on a holiday visit to England. First sold regularly through soda fountain outlets including Selfridges and the London Coliseum in the early 1920s, 'Coca-Cola' is now the most recognised trade mark in the world. The word 'Coca-Cola' itself is even thought to be the second most widely understood word in the world after 'OK'!
