It was invented in the nineteenth century by John Stith Pemberton but the rights to it were later purchased by Asa Griggs Candler. Pemberton originally intended it as a medicine rather than a regular drink. It was called Coca-Cola because it originally contained cocaine in it, although that was soon removed.

Dean. | + | Coca-Cola is a carbonated, caffeinated soft drink produced by the Coca-Cola Company.
