|  | Coca-Cola |
| The Origin | | On May 8, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton sold the first glass of Coca-Cola at Jacobs' Pharmacy for five cents in downtown Atlanta. Pemberton’s recipe contained cocaine in the form of an extract of the coca leaf, which inspired the “Coca†part of the beverage’s name. The “Cola†comes from the kola nut (which contains caffeine, another stimulant). | | As Medicine? | | Pemberton described the drink as a “brain tonic and intellectual beverage,†and advertised it as a “patent medicine.†He claimed it cured headaches, upset stomach, and fatigue. | | Taking the "coke" out | | The amount of cocaine in Coca-Cola was reduced over time, and finally eliminated from the drink by 1929. This was during the Prohibition Era in the United States, when alcohol was illegal. Coke soon became popular as a “soft†drink, an alternative to hard alcohol. |
