Coca Cola was first sold in ordinary bottles. In 1915, the company held a competition to create a new bottle for their drink.

The famous Coca Cola symbol was created by John Pemberton's colleague, Mr. Robinson. He thought that two letters "C" would look great in advertising.

Before the 1930s, Coca Cola was only considered to be a drink for warm weather, so the company started a campaign to remind people that Coca Cola was a great choice in any month.
