Today, Coca- Cola is perhaps the most famous drink in the world.

But the first people who

drank it didn’t like it very much !
Coca- Cola was invented by Dr John S Pemberton. He was a chemist in the town of Atlanta in
America. The first Coca-Cola was made in a big pot behind his house. The first glasses of Coca- Cola
were sold in Atlanta on 8th May 1886. People thought that it was horrible ! In 1888, the idea for
Coca- Cola was sold by Dr Pemberton to another man, for only $500 .
Slowly , people began to like Coca- Cola and soon it was sold in other towns in America. The
first Coca- Cola was drunk in London, England in 1901. Today, 600 million cans or bottles of Coca-Cola
are drunk by people everyday ! And one day, when we go to the moon, perhaps it will be drunk by
people there, too !
