Summary[edit]

Description

On 15 January 1889, the Coca-Cola Company—then known as the Pemberton Medicine Company—was originally incorporated in Georgia, US. At the time it was incorporated, the company sold Pemberton's Indian Queen Hair Dye, Pemberton's Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and Pemberton's French Wine Cola—a moderately successful health drink made from extracts of the coca leaf and kola nut. French Wine Cola was the predecessor to the famous Coca-Cola.

Although New Zealand has produced soft drinks since the 1830s, it was the in late 1930s that Coca-Cola began to frequent New Zealand shores. As Te Ara notes, "Coca-Cola was popularised by American servicemen in New Zealand during the Second World War. It was imported ready-made from 1939, and made locally from imported concentrate after 1944."

The link between Coca-Cola and American servicemen can be seen in this kitschy and now politically-incorrect painting held at Archives New Zealand: warart.archives.govt.nz/node/1089. Dean Cornwell's "Have a "Coke" = Kia Ora" was painted c.1943-1945, and comes from the extensive collection of War Art. This collection is composed of about 1,500 original artworks depicting those who served New Zealand in times of war, and the arenas in which they served.
