Happy 128th birthday to Coca-Cola, the world’s most refreshing beverage!

On May 8, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton served the first Coca-Cola at Jacobs’ Pharmacy in Atlanta. While this magic moment took place in Atlanta, GA, Coca-Cola has since traveled to every corner of the globe—and into space.

Why? Because of the specialness of Coca-Cola. The uniquely delicious taste. The fizz. And the refreshment and uplift people can always count on when they reach for an ice-cold Coke…….

I hope you’ll take time, personally, to enjoy a Coca-Cola today with your colleagues, customers, family or friends. Buy a Coke for someone you love—or someone you’ve just met. Because it’s always time for a Coca-Cola …
