No great mistake
At first Coca-Cola was sold as a medicine. It was invented by Dr John Pemberton in 1886. He first made it as a syrup and served it to his friends in still water, that is, water without bubbles. Some people say one day he made a mistake. He served the syrup with sparkling water. His friends liked it a lot more. But he had been working on Coca-Cola for a long time. He had meant to serve it that way.
Coca and kola
Very few people know the real recipe for Coca-Cola. The syrup is made in only a few places. Then it is shipped all over the world. The recipe is top secret. The few people who know it are not allowed to travel together in case they have an accident. At times the recipe used coca leaves and an extract of the kola nut.
