the first bottling agreement with coca-cola took place in which city
Coca-Cola It was then a few years later that two entrepreneurs from Chattanooga, Tennessee, namely Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead, proposed the idea of bottling and were so persuasive that Candler signed a contract giving them control of the procedure for only one dollar.[31] Candler never collected his dollar, but in 1899, Chattanooga became the site of the first Coca-Cola bottling company. Candler remained very content just selling his company's syrup.[32] The loosely termed contract proved to be problematic for The Coca-Cola Company for decades to come. Legal matters were not helped by the decision of the bottlers to subcontract to other companies, effectively becoming parent bottlers.[33] This contract specified that bottles would be sold at 5Â¢ each and had no fixed duration, leading to the fixed price of Coca-Cola from 1886 to 1959.
Bottled water Although vessels to bottle and transport water were part of the earliest human civilizations,[2] bottling water began in the United Kingdom with the first water bottling at the Holy Well in 1621.[3] The demand for bottled water was fueled in large part by the resurgence in spa-going and water therapy among Europeans and American colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries.[4] The first commercially distributed water in America was bottled and sold by Jacksonâ€™s Spa in Boston in 1767.[5] Early drinkers of bottled spa waters believed that the water at these mineral springs had therapeutic properties and that bathing in or drinking the water could help treat many common ailments.[4]
