An invention that has literally conquered the world.
The Coca-Cola is a drink that is on the tables all over the world, so widespread as to become a trademark of 71.8 billion dollars!
Maybe not even its inventor, the American pharmacist John Stith Pemberton, could imagine the success of his drink when on May 8, 1886 in Atlanta he invented a new alcohol-based remedy against tiredness, the 'Pemberton's French Wine Coca'.
Pemberton replaced alcohol with an extract of kola nuts that together with a mixture of coca leaves formed the 'Coca-Cola'.
In fact, the coca plant was and it is considered a health hazard so the extract that is used is deprived of all toxic substances, then we should not be impressed by the name 'Coca'. Paradoxically, this excerpt is the 'secret ingredient' of the famous drink: the 'aroma 7x' is jealously guarded and kept secret by The Coca-Cola Company.

The Coca-Cola's logo, although it looks very nice in the fonts used, was created with little attention by an accounting of the Company that used the font 'Spencerian Script', very common in the United States at that time. But this is not the greatest curiosity about the Coca-Cola.
We all know that the character of Santa Claus, with a long white beard, was inspired by St. Nicholas, patron of children. So, the costume of Santa Claus would become red only once, in the 30s, the Coca-Cola Company used it for its Christmas advertising, and dressed him in red and white, just like the logo of its famous drink.
In short, we can say that Santa Claus is 'Coca-Cola branded'!!
