It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke . Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.
