The Invention of Coca Cola

On this date one hundred and fourteen years ago, the first batch of Coca Cola was created in Dr. John Pemberton's backyard in Atlanta. Originally intended as a hangover cure, Pemberton advertised the promotional drink as a "brain tonic and intellectual beverage" and officially began selling it to the public on May 8. But honestly, that date isn't as important as the day on which it was created! Coca-Cola is a gigantic, world-recognized company that is consumed virtually everywhere and sponsors an enormous amount of events. It's insane to think that one of the world's most popular products was created in an Atlanta backyard as a cure to the hangover, and almost makes one laugh. If only Dr. Pemberton could see what his invention has turned into. So to celebrate this great date, and the globalization that Coke has helped promote, why not grab custom global themed collection koozie and enjoy the world's favorite soft drink! Given the significance of today, some cans of Coca Cola would also be the perfect logoed tradeshow giveaway!
