- John Pemberton was working on a cure for headache when he and a lab
assistant invented the formula for Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola was originally invented by John Pemberton and patented as French
Wine Coca nerve tonic in 1885. Pemberton was hoping to create a substitute
for morphine, to which he had become addicted after an injury during the
Civil War.
