The story behind Coca-Cola's name and recipe is one of the most fascinating mysteries in the world of branding. What started as a small medicinal tonic, created by Dr. John S. Pemberton in 1886, evolved into the iconic soft drink we know today. The secret formula, which has been closely guarded for over a century, still holds an air of intrigue. From its humble beginnings to becoming a global sensation, Coca-Cola's transformation is a testament to the power of marketing, innovation, and a bit of serendipity. Its name itself carries a legacy, derived from the key ingredients of the original recipe — coca leaves and kola nuts — yet how it captured the world’s attention remains a story of strategic brilliance and cultural influence.
