Coca-Cola was founded in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton. It first arrived in the UK in 1900 and was regularly sold starting in the 1920s. Today, 1.7 billion servings of Coke are sold every day worldwide. Coca-Cola owns many popular brands like Sprite, Fanta, and Powerade. While it once contained cocaine, that ingredient was removed in 1903. Coke only sold 9 bottles in its first year but now has over 92,000 employees worldwide and $35 billion in annual turnover. A glass of Coke will not dissolve or harm teeth overnight as an urban legend claims.

The Founder Coca-Cola was found in May 1886 by Dr John Pemberton
Coca-Cola first arrived here in 1900 when Charles Candler, son of The Coca-Cola Company founder Asa Candler, brought a jug of syrup with him on a visit from the US to England. It was first sold in the UK on 31 August 1900, but didn't go on sale regularly until the early 1920s, when it appeared at outlets around London including Selfridges and the London Coliseum.
The Bottles

Coca- Cocaine Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose; in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola once contained an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass. In 1903, it was removed.

Annual Turnover In 2010 Coca-Cola turned over $35.119 Billion

Does a glass of coke make a tooth dissolve in a glass of coke over night? This is a popular urban legend, and totally untrue. Coca-Cola will not dissolve teeth or meat overnight. There is a small amount of edible acid present in many foods, including fruit juices, buttermilk and soft drinks such as Coca-Cola, but these foods are not acidic enough to harm your body tissues - in fact, your own natural stomach acid is more acidic. These stories continue to spring up and get recycled because each new generation finds them hard to ignore, but they simply are not true.
