Frank Mason Robertson

Frank Mason Robertson

Frank Mason Robertson was the bookkeeper for Dr John Pemberton, the inventor of the drink Coca-Cola. Robertson came up with the name for the drink based on its ingredients, which included the coca plant and the kola nut. The alliterative sound of the name was popular among other "wine medicines" of the time, because Coca-Cola was originally marketed as a medicinal drink for those suffering from morphine addiction as well as other pains and headaches.

Robertson also came up with the now world-famous writing of the Coca-Cola name.Fact|date=April 2008
