The Sad True Story Behind John Pemberton and the Invention of Coca-Cola

Coca-Kola

As we know, Frank Robinson suggested the name Coca-Cola. It wasn’t so difficult to come up with considering the syrup contained coca leaf extract as well as caffeine from the kola nut. However, Robinson was known to think outside the box and believed that using two Cs in the name would look amazing and work better when it came to advertising.

That’s when he changed Coca-Kola to Coca-Cola. You can also credit Robinson for first scripting “Coca-Cola” as the famous logo all know today. Obviously, he was right. Robinson obviously had a good eye when it came to marketing because the Coca-Cola symbol has become one of the most recognized in the world. Advertising later became a huge part of the company.
