Work about the coca-cola company
Coca-Cola was created by pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886. After testing several types of medicinal formulas, seeking to create a cure for headache, he eventually created a liquid mixture, with caramel color. So John Pemberton took this liquid mixture to a pharmacy named “Jacob's Pharmacy”, and to this mixture, he added carbonated water and served to customers.

In 1916, the “Root Glass Company”, started manufacturing the “contour bottle”, which was registered in 1961 as the exclusive Coca-Cola bottle. This bottle was chosen for its unique shape which allows the consumer to recognize the product, even in the dark.
