Coke Invented as a Headache Cure
In 1886, Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton was searching for a quick cure for headaches. He brought his concoction down to Jacobs' Pharmacy and combined it with carbonated water. The customers who sampled it were enthusiastic, and soon the pharmacy was selling it at the soda fountain for five cents a glass.
