It is a carbonated soft drink sold in the stores, restaurants, and vending machines of more than 200 countries.. Originally proposed as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing strategies led Coke to its governing of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate by combining it with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola to retail stores and vending machines. This includes Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and Western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for soda fountains to restaurants and food service distributors.
