Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta in 1889, named and scripted by John Pemberton's friend, Frank Robinson. In 1887, Asa Candler bought over the formula for Coca Cola, and aggressively marketed the soft drink, which became of of the most popular drink in America by late 1980s. It was first bottled in 1894. The unique contour Coca Cola bottled was designed by and manufactured in 1916. Coca Cola went through the Olympics, the war in 1943, and still introducing new beverages throughout the years.

From bringing refreshments to patrons of the pharmacy, to having more than 400 brands now, Coca Cola entered its second century, with fans all over the world, even in the most remote corners of the globe. Today, products of the Coca Cola Company are consumed at the rate of more than one billion drinks per day.

  2. Coca Cola is one of the largest company in the world and still is working together with Mc Donald's which is a famous fast food restaurant. A great strategy indeed to maintain its business.

  3. Coca Cola is definitely one of the most well-known brand in the world.Coke is popular and addictive, when I think of soft drink or gassy drink, the first thing came in mind is coke.

    I have 3 friends that are addicted to coke, even though they know that it is unhealthy, they cannot resist the temptation to drink at least 1 can per day.

  4. Coke was used to be a medication when it was first invented but soon it was being revolutionise to a soft drink as lots of people enjoy consuming it. Coca cola was the mastermind behind the red suit that santa claus wears. ( Santa isn't someone who wears red suit at the first place and it was Coca cola which set the impression in everyone's mind ). It is addictive ( I am also a coke addict ) due to it's caffine content.

  5. Coca Cola was first invented as a cough mixture, till today it still retains it medicinal value, thus drinking boiled coke with lemon actually cures which i think is cool..!

  6. Coca Cola can be found almost everywhere, be it fast food restaurant, vending machine or convenience stores. The drinks ranges from Coke light, Coke Zero, Coke Vanilla and Coke lime. The caffeine and cocaine content in it is very addictive, some of my friends are addicted to it.

  7. I am not a very huge fan of Coca Cola but still, it is like appearing almost everywhere! Rather than having just coke, it actually has many other beverages under its wing e.g. F&N , minute maid.
    Although not really enjoying the drink very much, i think that for a drink to grow this famous, it sure has tonnes of effort and history behind it!

  8. Coca Cola is known worldwide and has not been overtaken/succeeded by any other soft drinks in terms of its popularity.

    My dad once told me he used to share one bottle of coke with 6 other siblings and they had to mix it with water such that there is enough for all of them.

    This goes to show that in the past, coke was like a luxury to them.
    However to us, coke is just like any another beverage now.

  9. yes, coca cola is already an established brand with a powerful reputation. i agree with Min Da that coke is used as medication, cough mixture, to be exact. and to make coke more appealing to consumers, they dyed it, as the original colour of coke, is green. coke is sometimes used to clean out the stains in our kitchen sink or bathroom wash basin. also, being creative, they came up with vanilla coke and coke lime. their fierce competitor would be pepsi, who came up with pepsi lemon. however, coke, has a longer history and has many many more fans, or should i say, consumers?

  10. There are not many products that are globally recognizable probably because of the language But coca cola tin is instantly recognizable even when the words are in Chinese, the red and white colour combination, with the funky stripe and the particular font used for the brand name. Coca Cola is a really strong brand so i think it's a really good choice to study into.

  12. Open a bottle of happiness.
    Cheers to all. By the way, have you all seen a coca cola shop around? Well. Nope. It is because coca cola is one of the few companies that do not do retail sales, but yet, a world wide brand name.

  13. Coca Cola is a very long time friend to us , as it have been allowing us to taste the sweetness of it. the design of the bottles and cans are changing for all this years to allow us to have a fresh feeling of it. the advertisements they have been doing even interest us to get it.
