Coke
Do you like Coke®? Most people do. It is a soft drink that looks like syrup. It is
brown and sweet. It can be in a can, or it can be in a glass. It can be in a tall thin
bottle.
It was invented on May 8, 1886. The man who made it was John Pemberton. He was
a man who made medicine for sick people. He was also an inventor.
John made many kinds of syrup. He made pills and syrups to make people feel better.
He sold them in a store.
John also made a drink that people liked to sip for fun. It was made out of wine,
coffee beans, and caffeine. People all over wanted his drink.
One day a new law was made. No one could use wine. No one could
drink it.
John still wanted to make money. He still wanted to sell his drinks, but
they could not have wine in the drink. He put sugar and fruit in the mix.
It looked good, and it had a good taste. People loved it. It was called
Coca-Cola®.
John made the drink we have today.
