DO YOU KNOW THE STORY OF COCA-COLA?

The coca-cola story began in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1886.

John S.Pemberthn invented a new drink that contained the South American coca leaf and cola nut. But the inventor couldn`t think of a good name for the new drink. His partner proposed the name of Coca-Cola and wrote the new name in a special way – and that became the famous trademark.

A trademark is the special name, sign or word which is marked on a product to show that it is made by a particular producer, and which legally only be used by that producer.

Thirty years later the famous Coca-Cola special bottle first appeared.

For many years, the company made only Coca-Cola. Then they introduced new drinks – Fanta, Sprite and TAB – in the 1960s, and Diet Coke in 1982.

The recipe of Coca-Cola is a secret. The taste of the drink is the same in any place of the world. For example in Kyiv, Dniepropetrovsk, Lviv and many other Ukrainian and foreign cities these drinks are produced all too. Though Coca-Cola and other drinks are produced all around the world the receipt is known only to few people in America. They supply special concentrate to their partners. That is why the taste of Coca-Cola is the same everywhere.

In 1985 the company changed the recipe! Bun the public was very unhappy. And soon the company brought back the original recipe: “Coca-Cola Classic”.

Today they sell Coca-Cola in 195 countries. Hundreds of millions of people drink it every day. It has the most famous trademark in the world.
