Of the 150+ Coca-Cola copycat soda brands known to exist during the first two decades of the Twentieth Century, Koca Nola was remarkable for three reasons:
-
Koca Nola was one of six major brand name sodas first marketed in embossed bottles utilizing Hutchinson's Patent Spring Stopper;
-
Although the syrup of other brand name sodas contained cocaine, the Koca Nola Company was one of the few firms indicted and found guilty of adulteration; and
-
With 68 franchises in 21 states, D.C., Mexico, and Cuba, the Koca Nola Company was one of the most successful of all the early copycat soda brands. During the company's 1906-1909 heyday, Koca Nola was a top five selling U.S. soda brand.
