EVOLUTION OF THE COCA COLA BOTTLE




Coca Cola was invented by Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia  in 1886. Dr Pemberton created the syrup that gives the drink it's flavour. He took the syrup to another pharmacist where they mixed it with carbonated water, It was Dr. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson who came up with the name Coca-Cola and designing the logo.
Initially Coca Cola was sold at soda fountains for 5 cents but in 1894 it was first bottled by the Biedenharn Candy Company in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The proprietor, Joseph A. Biedenharn, was a customer of The Coca-Cola Company, buying Coca-Cola syrup and serving the soft drink to customers at his soda fountain. He came up with the idea of making Coke available to people that lived in the country where they did not have a local soda fountain. Bottling Coca-Cola was the answer.
In the above pictures, you can see the evolution of the Coca Cola Bottle from 1899 until now.
