The product range of Coca-Cola comprises non-alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, bottled water, sports drinks and energy drinks. The company’s most popular soft drink is certainly the soft drink Coca-Cola. Brand rankings list the brand, for good reasons, as one of the most valuable and recognizable brands worldwide. The history of Coca-Cola began in 1886 when Atlanta pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton created a flavored syrup with a distinctive taste which could be sold at soda fountains by mixing the two components together. The secret formula, which originated in the United States, is still used today for producing Coca-Cola around the world.
People, who visit Atlanta, may take a tour through the World of Coca-Cola, where the company gives additional information on the company’s famous history and their beverages which are sold around the world today. In Coca-Cola’s latest annual report, the company states that the North American segment accounted for about 36.7 percent of global revenue in 2018.
