Business life: coca cola's first recipe was invented in 1885 in Columbus at a drug STORE by a man called John Pemberton. It was first originally called cocawine. Coca-Cola was sold in bottles for the first time on March 12, 1894. Cans of Coke first appeared in 1955. The first bottling of Coca-Cola occurred in Vicksburg, Mississippi, at the Biedenharn Candy Company in 1891. Its proprietor was Joseph A. Biedenharn. The original bottles were Biedenharn bottles, very different from the much later hobble-skirt design that is now so familiar. As a Candler was sold as a patent medicine for five cents.

There was five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup a significant dose. There was once an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass but in 1903 it was removed but it still has coca flavoring.
