From the Paper:

"Coca-Cola was created on May 8, 1886 by Dr. John Stith Pemberton, an Atlanta Pharmacist. Pemberton was curious about the caramel-colored liquid he created so he took the syrup a few doors down to Jacobs' Pharmacy. The syrup was mixed with carbonated water and the rest is effervescent history. During the first year Jacobs' pharmacy sold about nine glasses of Coca-Cola a day at five cents per glass. In the 119 years since then, Coca-Cola has produced 10 Billion gallons of syrup which are used to produce more than 400 different brands of beverages today. Dr. Pemberton was a great inventor to create the ingredients for the most popular soft drink in the world, but not the smartest businessman. In 1891 Dr. Pemberton sold the company to an Atlanta businessman, Asa Griggs Candler, for $2,300."
