The Best-Known Taste in the World 

In Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886, Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for Coca-Cola®, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed.

Lionel celebrates the 125th Anniversary of Coca-Cola with the first in a series of six separate sale cars that celebrates 125 years of unique Coca-Cola designs from the earliest eras to the present.
