Coca-Cola Celebrates 139 Years: From Humble Beginnings to Global Recognition
Coca-Cola's history dates back to 1886 when Dr. John Pemberton created his 13th recipe for a unique soft drink.
He took this syrup and some soda water to Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, where it was first tasted by an unknowing customer.
The customer declared the drink 'delicious', marking the birth of one of the most recognized brands in human history.
