who set up Cocacola company ?

Answer 1

Asa Candler

In 1886, John Pemberton devised what became Coca-Cola, as a "brain" tonic made from coca leaves and kola nuts. I.e., it was an upper. However Pemberton was also a morphine addict. He sold interest in the product and process to a number of people, sometimes simultaneously. Somehow, a druggist by the name of Asa Candler got control by 1888. One story claims that a customer came into his drugstore and asked him to mix some of the Coca-Cola tonic. There was trouble with the water supply and so he asked if it would be OK to use selzer. The customer said that it tasted pretty good and a new product was born. In any case, a year or so later he had purchased all the outstanding interests in the company, and started an aggressive marketing campaign. By the turn of the century, he was one of the richest men in Atlanta.

Answer 2

John Pemberton was the inventor of Coca Cola
In May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. John Pemberton concocted the Coca Cola formula in a three legged brass kettle in his backyard. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's bookkeeper Frank Robinson.

Birth of Coca Cola
Being a bookkeeper, Frank Robinson also had excellent penmanship. It was he who first scripted "Coca Cola" into the flowing letters which has become the famous logo of today.
The soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886.

About nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales were a loss.

Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut.


Asa Candler
In 1887, another Atlanta pharmacist and businessman, Asa Candler bought the formula for Coca Cola from inventor John Pemberton for $2,300. By the late 1890s, Coca Cola was one of America's most popular fountain drinks, largely due to Candler's aggressive marketing of the product. With Asa Candler, now at the helm, the Coca Cola Company increased syrup sales by over 4000% between 1890 and 1900.
Advertising was an important factor in John Pemberton and Asa Candler's success and by the turn of the century, the drink was sold across the United States and Canada. Around the same time, the company began selling syrup to independent bottling companies licensed to sell the drink. Even today, the US soft drink industry is organized on this principle.

Asa Griggs Candler acquired to formula for Coca-Cola from Pemberton and founded the Coca-Cola Corporatoin in 1888 and as the result of some disputed claims as to who actually owned the rights to Coca-Cola, Candler founded a second corporation in 1892. The second corporation, The Coca-Cola Company is the company that exists today.
