The History Of Coca-Cola And Mentos Reaction

Invented in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia, Coca-Cola and Mentos reaction became a worldwide sensation on June 3, 2006 (iml.jou.ufl). It is going to tell not about the experiment on Coke and Mentos but rather the background information on the subject.

Coca-Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Georgia (iml.jou.ufl). It was first called Pemberton's French Wine Coca and was sold as a medicine to help cure colds and give people a boost of energy (iml.jou.ufl). Later on, the name was developed into Coca-Cola by Frank Robinson, John Pemberton’s bookkeeper (iml.jou.ufl). The name Coca-Cola existed because of the Coca leaf, which was present in Coca-Cola, contained cocaine (iml.jou.ufl). After Pemberton died in 1888, Asa Griggs Candler became the sole owner of Coca-Cola in 1891 (iml.jou.ufl). Currently, Coca-Cola is owned by a man named, Muhtar Kent, a friend of Asa Griggs Candler (iml.jou.ufl)
