Behind the brand.
Coca-Cola is the sparkling soft-drink brand created by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta in 1886. This dossier covers Coca-Cola-branded cola, rather than every drink owned by The Coca-Cola Company. Recipes, sweeteners, caffeine, nutrition and pack sizes vary by product and market, while local bottling partners manufacture and distribute finished drinks, so shoppers should check the exact label sold locally.
