Pemberton sold his famous drink for about 2,300 dollars and died two years later. In World War II, American soldiers could buy a bottle of Coca-Cola for five cents, anywhere in the world. In 1940, a German manager with no syrup created Fanta from apples and cheese water. In 1985, Coca-Cola changed its famous recipe, and angry customers forced the old taste back in only 79 days. #CocaCola #CocaColaHistory #JohnPemberton #AsaCandler #EnglishListening
