Coca Cola Company: Coca-Cola (Often Referred To Simply As Coke) Is An American
Coca-Cola (often referred to simply as Coke) is an American carbonated soft drink[1] produced
by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Originally intended as a patent
medicine, it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton. Coca-Cola was bought out by
businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world
soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The drink's name refers to two of its original
ingredients, which were kola nuts (a source of caffeine) and coca leaves. The current formula of
Coca-Cola remains a trade secret, although a variety of reported recipes and experimental
recreations have been published.
