Coca-Cola - Memorabilia (Pre-Orders)
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and
vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola
Company in Atlanta, Georgia and is often referred to simply as Coke or (in
European and American countries) as Cola or Pop. Originally intended as a patent
medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton,
Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing
tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the
20th century.
The company produces concentrate, which is then sold to various licensed Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North America and western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales to major restaurants and food service distributors.
