"Things go better with Coca Cola,
Things go better with Coke!"
~ Coca Cola Slogan (1964)
Since its inception in 1886, Coca-Cola has been notable for its advertising slogans and campaigns. If you're confused and wearied with the trend for generation labeling: Gen Z/iGen/Centennials (1965 - tbd), Millennials/Gen Y (1977-1995), Gen X (1965-1976), Baby Boomers (1946-1964), Traditionalists/Silent Generation (1945 and before), why not revive and refresh yourself with a bubbly caffeinated beverage and self-identify instead with the famous slogan from your formative years! New campaigns with jingles were released every few years by the Coca Cola Company. Or perhaps in your salad and soda days you were Team Pepsi instead. And if you ever wondered, according to those who study these things: "Pepsi is sweeter than Coke, so right away it had a big advantage in a sip test. Pepsi is also characterized by a citrusy flavor burst, unlike the more raisiny-vanilla taste of Coke. But that burst tends to dissipate over the course of an entire can. Pepsi, in short, is a drink built to shine in a sip test." Cola Wars! 😀
On May 8th, 1886, the first Coca-Cola soft drink was sold. It was at a place called Jacob’s Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia and was in the form of a soda fountain drink.
The beverage was invented by Dr. John Pemberton of Atlanta, Georgia, in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name came from a suggestion by Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, who scripted the logo that is still used today.
Trying to come up with a headache cure and general pain reliever, Civil War veteran, John Pemberton, turned pharmacist, had been severely wounded in battle as Lieutenant Colonel with the Third Georgia Cavalry.
Trying to control the pain resulting from those wounds, Pemberton had became addicted to morphine. After the war, Pemberton settled in Atlanta, where he began work on a beverage combining coca leaves and cola nuts. His objective was to create a pain reliever but when his lab assistant accidentally mixed the concoction with carbonated water on May 8, 1886, the two men tasted it, liked it, and decided it might make a profitable alternative to ginger ale and root beer.
Designed by Janet Helm Presents Tartan (a Vancouver design company) for Coca Cola for use in a promotion, this tartan is considered dangerously close to one of the Burberry tartans.
