On May 8, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton brought his perfected syrup to Jacobs’ Pharmacy in downtown Atlanta where the first glass of Coca Cola was poured.

We are constantly transforming our portfolio, from reducing added sugar in our drinks to bringing innovative new products to market. We seek to positively impact people’s lives, communities and the planet through water replenishment, packaging recycling, sustainable sourcing practices and carbon emissions reductions across our value chain. Together with our bottling partners, we employ more than 700,000 people, helping bring economic opportunity to local communities worldwide.

FAQs

Q Can you die from eating Mentos and drinking Coca-cola at the same time?

No, this is an urban myth. It’s true that putting Mentos into a bottle of Coca‑Cola will cause an impressive fountain of soda to erupt from the bottle. In fact, carbonated water, sparkling wine and other soft drinks will have similar effects. However, you won’t get the same effect from eating Mentos after drinking Coca‑Cola. The eruption you get when you mix Mentos and Coca‑Cola is caused by the rough coating of the candy, which results in lots of bubbles forming rapidly on the surface when it’s placed in a carbonated beverage. But the coating begins to dissolve the moment you eat it. So you won’t get the same reaction in your stomach.

Q Can Coca-cola be used to clean toilets ?

It can, and you get a similar effect if you use other acidic foods and drinks, like lemon juice. But these are not very good choices for cleaning. Coca‑Cola contains phosphoric acid, a safe food ingredient used in some of our beverages which can help clean off dirt. However, because Coca‑Cola is a beverage, not a cleaning agent, it isn’t effective at killing germs, and there are lots of products that are much better at cleaning.
