Coca-Cola+Franchise

=THE COCA-COLA FRANCHISE=

John Pemberton was a pharmacist, and he made a medicine. When he brought it to the pharmacy, the carbonated it, and a man named Frank Robinson named it Coca-Cola. They started selling it for 5¢ a pop,


=== ===and it sold 9 glasses a day. In three years, they had made $2,300 dollars from the drink. John Pemberton died in 1888 right before his business took off. Like magic, after he died, things really did start falling together for Coca-Cola. Asa G Candler turned the drink selling into a business, and Joseph Biedenharn started to bottle it. There were only 2 bottlers at this time.=== ===

=== ===When they needed a design (one that could be recognized in the dark), Haute Indiana won the competition and designed the bottle. Woodruff became the president of Coca-Cola in 1923, and he introduced Coca-Cola to the Olympics in 1928. He introduced the 6 pack of Coca-Cola and the open-top cooler. At this point in time, Coca-Cola was not a soda, but a part of life. If you notice now, there are not //thousands// of ads for Coca-Cola, but yet everyone knows about it.=== ===

=== ===When WWII broke out, Woodruff said "Every man in uniform gets a bottle of Coca-Cola, wherever he is".However, during this time, they removed the Cocaine from Coke. Business was ready to expand at this point, and they introduced new sodas: Fanta©, TAB©, Fresca©, and they bought out Minute Maid©. They also introduced Diet Coke.=== ===

=== ===Business overseas started to be promising. There were business opportunities in places like Cambodia, Montserrat, Paraguay, Macau, Turkey, and more. Also, China declared that Coca-Cola was the only company allowed to sell soft drinks in China. It was also said to be the top Low Calorie drink in the world, taking lead of the entire world as a drink. In 1985, they introduced a change to the recipe called "New Coke", and people were so angry with it, they overthrew it and begged for the original. It became the official drink of NASCAR, and they introduced the Coca-Cola Polar Bear in 1993. More Expansions came: Powerade, [|Qoo], Dasani, Limca, Cadbury Schweppes, and bought out Barq's root beer.=== ===
