The public must be colossally stupid if it refuses to buy a product because of the name.

Me too. I remember it having a prominent place at the corner apothecary.
When I was five my mom sent me there to pick up a prescription. Dr. Karp, the pharmacist gave me a free candy bar.

Quite a history on Coca-Cola in China on Wiki. Seems local distributors were trying their hand at phoneticizing the brand into Chinese characters. “Female horse stuffed with wax” was one example.
Coca-Cola executives consulted the finest Chinese scholars they could find and came up with four characters which meant, “Let the mouth rejoice”.
