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

McDonald’s Coke

In 1955. McDonald’s owner Ray Kroc asked Coca-Cola if they can provide fountain drinks for his chain of fast-food restaurants. Coca-Cola and the Golden Arches have combined their efforts and had an excellent relationship ever since. They partnered up on menu developments, and Coca-Cola even allows them to use their corporate facilities when globally expanding.

But the best benefit is the actual drink. Did you ever notice that McDonald’s Coke tastes the best? Well, it’s not your imagination; there is a reason behind it. Coca-Cola ships its syrup in stainless steel containers exclusively to McDonald’s, instead of the plastic bags they use for everything else. As a result, McDonald’s has the most delicious Coke you can get.
