Coke's early beginnings - Promoted as a stimulant & health drink - History of Coke - Part 2

In the early years, Coca-Cola was sold at pharmacies as a syrup that could be used as a syrup, or diluted in water.

It was promoted as a stimulant, health tonic, and beverage. -

It was the No-Doz of the 1880's.


Pemberton sold the Coca-Cola secret formula to Willis E. Venable and George S. Lowndes
in July 1887.

After a short 5 months, Venable & Lowndes sold the formula to Woolfolk Walker and Mrs. M. C. Dozer.

In 1888 - the formula was sold AGAIN to Asa G. Candler. - (Unfortunately, Pemberton, the original inventor, died this year. )
