Did you know that one of the world's most famous drinks, Coca-Cola, was originally introduced as a medicinal syrup? The story began in 1886 when Atlanta pharmacist John Stuth Pemberton created a syrup designed to reduce pain, increase mental agility and improve mood.
The original recipe for Coca-Cola contained two interesting ingredients:
• Coca leaves, which were used to make cocaine (it was legal and common at that time).
• Cola nuts, which are naturally rich in caffeine.
The name "Coca Cola" actually refers to the same two important ingredients!
