Cola

Invented in 1886, in Atlanta, Georgia, by pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton, Coca-Cola was at first used as a medicine until its unforeseen fate to become a fountain drink was realized. By 1899, it was sold in every state and territory in the U.S. It is now the number one soft drink in the world, being available in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

Coca-Cola, for an eight-ounce serving size, has ninety-seven calories, twenty-seven grams (g) carbohydrates, 33 milligrams (mg) sodium, 41 mg phosphorus, 23 mg caffeine, and 38 g sugar.
