The ROOT bottle is the prototype of the now famous "hobbleskirt" bottle, which later evolved into what is used today - a streamlined contour bottle. The ROOT bottle was never actually put into production due to the much exaggerated hobbleskirt shape that made it difficult to produce and market From the Brand: The product that has given the world its best-known taste was born 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.
