Coca-Cola float · Atlanta
An Atlanta-invented soft drink poured over vanilla ice cream. The Varsity downtown serves Frosted Orange floats since 1928; the Coca-Cola museum the canonical version.
Coca-Cola was invented in Atlanta by pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886 and bought by Asa Candler in 1888. The company headquarters has anchored the city since. The Coca-Cola float, sometimes called a Black Cow, became a soda-fountain staple from the 1920s. The Varsity, founded 1928 at North Avenue downtown, runs Frosted Orange and Coca-Cola floats from a counter that has fed Atlanta for nearly a century. The Coca-Cola museum at Centennial Olympic Park completes the tour.
