Interesting Facts about Coke

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT COCA-COLA:-

1.COCA-COLA’S INGREDIENTS When launched Coca-Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine (benzoylmethyl ecgonine) and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut, leading to the name Coca-Cola (the "K" in Kola was replaced with a "C" for marketing purposes). 2.COCA-COLA’S FORMULAE: The exact formula of Coca-Cola's natural flavourings (but not its other ingredients which are listed on the side of the bottle or can) is a famous trade secret. The original copy of the formula is held in SunTrust Bank's main vault in Atlanta. A popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula, with each executive having only half the formula.The truth is that while Coca-Cola does have a rule restricting access to only two executives, each knows the entire formula and others, in addition to the prescribed duo, have known the formulation process. 3.COCA-COLA’S MARKETING MODEL: The Coca-Cola Company only produces a syrup concentrate, which it sells to bottlers throughout the world, who hold Coca-Cola franchises for one or more geographical areas. The bottlers produce the final drink by mixing the syrup with filtered water and sweeteners, and then carbonate it before putting it in cans and bottles, which the bottlers then sell and distribute to retail stores, vending machines, restaurants and food service distributors. 4.COCA-COLA’S ORIGIN: The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia by John Pemberton, originally as a coca-wine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca in 1885. In 1892 Candler incorporated a second company, The Coca-Cola Company (the current corporation). Coca-Cola was sold in bottles for the first time on March 12, 1894.
