Coca Cola
Fun Fact
Ever wondered how the world’s most popular soft drink was created? You know it… Cola! It was by accident of course.
Chemist John Pemberton was trying to find a cure for headaches and combined coca leaves and kola nuts. One day, his lab assistant accidentally combined the concoction with soda water, but customers loved it. The iconic beverage Coca-Cola was born in 1886! (But as of 2016, the cola drink no longer contains the kola nut extract)
Today, Coca-Cola is one of the most consumed sodas in the world and a staple in most restaurants and stores. Around 1.9 billion servings in 200 different countries are enjoyed each day.
