Question

Reading Coca-Cola - the short history In 1886 John Pemberton, a druggist in Atlanta, Georgia(USA), made a brown syrup by mixing coca leaves and cola nuts. Pemberton sold the syrup in his drugstore as a medicine to cure all kinds of problems. He called his all-purpose medicine "Coca-Cola".When few people bought Coca-Cola, Pemberton sold the recipe to another druggist, Asa Candler. Candler decided to sell Coca-Cola as a soda-fountain drink instead of a medicine.At the soda fountains in drugstores, the syrup was mixed with soda water to make the drink Coca-Cola. Candler advertised a lot and sold his syrup to many drugstores. Soon everyone was going to soda fountains and asking for Coca-Cola.Candler saw no reason for putting Coca-Cola into bottles. But two businessmen thought this would be a good idea. They got permission from Candler, and before long they became millionaires.As of 1903, coca leaves were no longer used in Coca-Cola. The exact ingredients used and their quantities aren't known - the Coca-Cola Company keeps its recipe a secret.World War I helped make Coca-Cola popular outside the United States. The Coca-Cola Company sent free bottles of the drink to U.S. soldiers fighting in Europe. Coca-Cola became very popular with the soldiers - so popular that the U.S. army asked the company to start ten factories in Europe. After the war , these factories continued to make Coca-Cola. Today, they are Coca - cola factories around the world. Task 3 . True or false (2,5 points)______1.
