What is the history behind Coca-Cola and McDonald's?
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by an American pharmacist John S Pemberton, who took a sample of his drink to Jacobs' Pharmacy that placed it on sale as a soda fountain drink. While McDonald's was founded by Dick and Mac McDonald, who in 1948 introduced a 'Speedee Service' concept featuring 15-cent hamburgers and started franchising their concept after its success.
