2. Who invented "Coca-Cola"? Where and when was it invented?
"Coca-Cola" was invented in May 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. The name ""Coca-Cola"" was suggested by Dr. Pemberton’s bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. He penned the name "Coca-Cola" in the flowing script that is famous today. "Coca-Cola" was first sold at a soda fountain in Jacobs’ Pharmacy in Atlanta by Willis Venable.

During the first year, sales of "Coca-Cola" averaged nine drinks a day, adding up to total sales for that year of $50. Today, products of The "Coca-Cola" Company are consumed at the rate of more than 1.5 billion drinks per day.
