John Stith Pemberton invented Coca-Cola in 1886. The first sales of Coca-Cola were from a drugstore fountain in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Pemberton, a wounded Civil War veteran, may have concocted the original formula in the process of seeking an elixir that could help him with pain and morphine addiction. He had experimented with various combinations of ingredients including alcohol, coca leaves and kola nuts, prior to settling on the formula that remains largely the same to this day.
