Question:

Why was Coke-cola was invented?


Answers:
Coca-Cola was created during the era of patent medicine in the US. Atlanta pharmacist Pemberton came up with several of these in the 1880s and one of the popular ones was a nerve tonic, stimulant and headache remedy that he called Pemberton's French Wine Coca. The formula was modified to remove the alcohol to comply with prohibition legislature in 1885. In 1886, the formula was rebranded as "Coca-Cola" and served as a fountain drink.
