@[]#####COKE LOSES ITS BOTTLE#COKE STEPS UP COLA WARS
The 1886 cola was actually Dr Pemberton's second version: his first, the year before, had involved adding coca leaves from South America (which contain the drug cocaine in unrefined form) to red wine#Dr Pemberton sold his interest in 1888 to a businessman named Candler, who began bottling it. The business grew rapidly, and by the time Candler sold it to an investor group headed by the banker Ernest Woodruff in 1919, it was worth $25 million#Pemberton's drink was called Coca-Cola because, besides the flavorings and sugar, it was made from coca leaves and the cola nut (containing caffeine): it was intended as a pick-me-up tonic and hangover cure#Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name Coca-Cola and drew the logo which has remained unchanged for over a century#The recipe for Coca-Cola has always remained a closely guarded secret and is kept in a bank vault in Atlanta; the original formula, known to only a few top executives, is called 'Merchandise 7X'#All traces of cocaine were removed from the drink in 1903, although the Company was still obliged to defend itself in 1909 from federal charges that Coca-Cola - by implication of its name - contained the illegal drug#Coca Cola today is open for business in over 200 countries, making it the world's most widely recognized brand name. It outsells its nearest rival, Pepsi, by a margin of two to one#Robert Woodruff was at the helm of Coca-Cola for more than 60 years#In 1991 the Coca-Cola Company collaborated with the Soviet space agency to test a "Coca-Cola Space Can"; until then, astronauts had been deprived of carbonated drinks#The key to Coca-Cola's worldwide success has been its system of granting licensed franchises to local manufacturers#Advertising illustrator Haddon Sondblum established the modern image of Santa Claus in a series of whimsical advertisements in the Thirties. It is only as a result of these advertisements that modern Father Christmases always wears Coke red: before Sondblum, Santa was often seen in green, blue and yellow
