The Iconic Look
That made us think. What was the origin of Coca-Cola’s famous look? To address that question, let us go back a century to 1886 when John S. Pemberton combined the first batch of Coke ingredients. Millions of people around the world know and adore the drink today, but it was only a novel drink when Pemberton created it in 1886. It didn’t have a name yet.
“Coca-Cola”
It was merely a fizzy, sugary concoction without a name at the time. This quickly changed when Pemberton’s financial counselor began dispensing pearls of wisdom. Frank M. Robinson is known as the inventor of the Coca-Cola beverage. That’s striking gold right there! But where did he get the name from? What was the source of inspiration for it? It probably never occurred to him that it would become a household name around the world.
