About Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola was formulated by Atlanta pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in 1886 and sold at a soda fountain as a patent medicine before Asa Candler bought the formula and built it into a national brand. The contour bottle dates to 1915 and the 1985 attempt to replace the formula with New Coke was abandoned within three months.
