A. Coca Cola appeared in Atlanta, Georgia, 1886. Doctor John Pemberton made a special syrup, but he
kept its components secret. He added some mineral water to it and took the new product to the
chemist’s. There the syrup was sold for five cents a glass. Pemberton told everyone that Coca-Cola
cured many illnesses, including headaches, stomachaches, and nervous breakdowns.
B. Coca Cola was first sold in ordinary bottles. In 1915, the company held a competition to create a
new bottle for their drink. They said it should be a bottle that would make Coca Cola different from
all other drinks. Even today the shape of Coca Cola bottle is one of the most recognized packages on
the planet..."even in the dark!".
C. The famous Coca Cola symbol was created by John Pemberton's colleague, Mr. Robinson. He
thought that two letters "C" would look great in advertising. Besides, the red and white colours were
simple and effective. Red was energetic and bright and so would attract young people. As for the
style of writing, it was just popular in the United States during that period.
D. Before the 1930s, Coca Cola was only considered to be a drink for warm weather, so the company
started a campaign to remind people that Coca Cola was a great choice in any month. For this a
talented artist drew pictures of a happy Santa Claus enjoying a drink of Coke. The pictures were
published in magazines and made Cola even more popular.

E. Coca Cola was one of the first companies that invested money in public projects. For example, the
company is proud to be an old and devoted partner of the Olympic Games. This connection began in
1928 with the Games in Amsterdam. Since then the company has sponsored lots of football, hockey,
and basketball competitions.
F. The Coca Cola Collectors Club was formed in 1974 by a small group of people. Today it has become
international with more than 5,000 people from 28 countries. Club members collect everything
connected with Coca Cola: bottles, posters, newspaper articles, postcards –
everything. Theysometimesmeettoexchangetheirtreasures.
G. Today there are 16 special variants of the original Coca Cola recipe. Some have less sugar or no
sugar at all. Such Coke is chosen by those who want to keep fit. Children may prefer a cherry or a
vanilla flavour. The drink also changes from country to country, reflecting national preferences. For
example, if you travel to France, you can try the unusual orange Coca Cola.
