Pemberton sold the new drug in his pharmacy and published the advertisement I mentioned earlier. The business man Asa Griggs Candler tried it and realised that it could be more than just a drug.

Not only can it quench your thirst, but it is reputed to be good for removing stains and rust as well as for fertilising your plants. But Coca-Cola isn’t the only all-rounder: monetary policy is also currently being branded as a cure for assorted ills.
