not my place to speak for the consumer but everyone should buy it Coca-Cola is more
than just a soda it's a global brand with an extremely devoted following here are 10 reasons
why Coca-Cola is bigger than you know drinking Coke in space we thought it was aliens is it
aliens no it's just Elon doing donuts in the sky with many devoted fans of the popular soft drink
would likely tell you that the taste of Coca-Cola is out of this world this is one of those rare
times when an expression can actually be taken literally as Coke was the first soft drink to
venture into outer space yes back in the mid 80s the marketing team at Coca-Cola headquarters came
up with the idea to put the Beloved soft drink in the hands of astronauts while aboard the space
shuttle after getting the green light from NASA the Coca-Cola scientists developed a special can
to house the soda while in Low Gravity has normal soda cans were not suited for that environment in
1985 the space shuttle Challenger and its crew were chosen to transport the specialized space
Coke unfortunately for Coca-Cola their Chief rival Pepsi heard about the popular soda Brand's plans
of heading into space and didn't want to be left out while the two soda Giants both made it into
low earth orbit at the same time I'm a board Challenger it was coke that was the first soft
drink to quench The Thirst of the astronauts aboard the shuttle though Pepsi was consumed
a mere eight hours later by the same astronauts better late than never I guess Coca-Cola is worth
a fortune I'm rolling on some gum when it comes to the mega brands of the world some are worth
a ton of money for example Tech Giant apple is worth a mind-blowing 355 billion dollars if you
can wrap your head around all those zeros okay but that's Apple so what about a company that's
been around long before the iPhone was invented let's start off with this statement Coca-Cola
is big as much of an understatement as that may be it's nonetheless true and a company the size
of Coca-Cola is obviously going to be worth a pretty penny to say the least the popular soft
drink company is worth a fortune remember they're selling soda and not high-tech devices Coca-Cola
is worth an impressive 64.4 billion dollars making it more valuable than shoe giant Nike Porsche and
even Instagram Coca-Cola also happens to be the third most valuable food and beverage brand in the
world world with only McDonald's and Starbucks generating more of that cold hard cash so it's
safe to say that the Coca-Cola secret recipe is worth more than its weight in gold one of
the most successful Brands ever we want to get a drink I get a soda I get a Coke I get a Coca-Cola
once again of all the popular brand logos out there you'll likely picture the golden arches
of McDonald's or maybe the half-eaten Apple of well Apple but another brand that will likely
spring to mind is the distinctive red colored logo with the white script of Coca-Cola as the company
happens to be one of the biggest brands ever Coca-Cola is recognized all over the world and
their iconic cursive Coca-Cola logo can be seen on everything from clothes to Billboards in fact if
you happen to be watching a movie featuring an actor sipping on a soft drink chances are that
drink will be a can of Coke Coca-Cola is also the most common drink found at many of the big biggest
fast food chains such as McDonald's Wendy's and Burger King there's a lot that goes into the
creation of a colossal brand such as Coca-Cola and its massive influence on pop culture has made the
company successful for well over a hundred years so the next time you grab an ice cold Coke from
the fridge you're really holding a can of history in your hand noon hour Channel then take a quick
second and hit that subscribe button you're the best thanks Diet Coke was a major success
and I said oh give me a shot of champagne in there for crying in the die cut in the diet
coke you'd be hard-pressed to find a person out there that doesn't enjoy an ice cold Coke on a
hot summer day however while the popular soft drink is both satisfying and thirst quenching
it does pack a hefty dose of sugar with health and overall well-being starting to become more
mainstream in the 1980s Coca-Cola fans that were mindful of their waistlines wanted to continue to
enjoy their favorite drink without having to worry about excess calories while Coca-Cola had already
seen success with its first low-calorie soft drink tab in the 1960s unfortunately the main sweetening
ingredient with intab was saccharin you're telling me you know when someone's lying every time so the
friends in that beer commercial hate each other this sweetener was believed to be responsible for
the formation of certain cancers in rats and while there were no such links to cancers in humans due
to saccharin the damage had been done and tab's popularity had declined Coca-Cola then moved
on to its second attempt at a diet soft drink diet coke this time using aspartame as the soda
sweetener introduced in the early 80s Not only was Diet Coke the First new product to use the
iconic Coke name since the Brand's introduction it proved to be one of the most successful product
launches of the 1980s and continues to be the top-selling diet soda in the U.S to this day
Coca-Cola once owned Columbia Pictures do you want to hear about the Donkey Kong conspiracy
with plot twists you never saw coming movies have the ability to be much more than just
entertaining the same can be said about the world's most famous soft drink in fact there's
a good possibility that during a night out at the theater you found yourself enjoying a large
Coke in between bites of popcorn while watching a movie the idea of Coca-Cola being paired with
the movies seems almost fitting however it may surprise you to find out that the world's most
iconic soft drink company just so happened to own Columbia pictures for a period in the 1980s yes
that Columbia Pictures the same production company responsible for classic films such as Kramer
versus Kramer and the original Spider-Man films was once owned by Coca-Cola in the summer of 1982
Coca-Cola became the full owner of the production company purchasing the movie studio giant for over
700 million dollars the company would produce the oscar-winning film Gandhi starring Ben Kinsley
during their reign Coca-Cola was also partially responsible for the creation of TriStar pictures
unfortunately all good things must come to an end and Coca-Cola would eventually sell Columbia
Pictures to Sony in 1989 exiting the world of entertainment for good thank goodness they had
a backup plan you know that whole Cola thing the largest Beverage Company in the world sort of
if you hear me screaming bloody murder there's a good chance I'm just enjoying myself it's
hard to know just how many different brands of beverages are available on the market today with
overwhelming choices from juices and iced cheese like Snapple and nasty to soft drinks such as 7Up
or Mountain Dew and everything in between there truly is a drink out there for everyone even more
unbelievable is that among all the beverage companies out there Coca-Cola is the largest
in the world dude at my school they banned soda but then they gave us a sugary blood bag even
though soft drink Rivals such as Pepsi and Dr Pepper enjoy immense popularity and generate a
fortune neither of them can match the enormity of the Coca-Cola Company the soft drink giant
produces more than 500 non-alcoholic beverage brands in fact the only beverage company that
produces more Revenue than the popular soda brand is Anheuser-Busch producer of one of the most
iconic beers in the U.S Budweiser perhaps one day Coca-Cola I will Branch out once again and
start brewing their own beer to rival the king of beers until then the soda giant will have
to be content with being the Undisputed king of soft drinks Coca-Cola bets on oranges in the 60s
and now you can make a decision do you want an apple what do you want an orange if you were to
name one soda and one juice that exists on the market you might come up with these two sinks
Coca-Cola and orange juice maybe lemonade but definitely the first two at one time Coca-Cola was
simply a soda company a giant soda company but a soda company nonetheless but that all changed when
the soft drink giant decided to purchase orange juice brand Minute Maid back in the 1960s minute
Maids history stretches back to 1945 beginning in life as a Florida food Inc and originally
made powdered orange juice for soldiers fighting in World War II before eventually becoming the
orange juice giant we all know today the minute made purchase allowed Coca-Cola to
expand beyond the realm of soft drinks and into the healthier Avenue of fruit juices the Minute
Maid acquisition was also important due to the growing number of consumers who were becoming
interested in their overall health and well-being two of the most iconic averages which also happen
to be synonymous with the Sun Belt of the Southern United States for now being produced by the same
company coincidence well yes but a fitting match Coca-Cola takes a bite out of barks
all right skip all the layers and just go straight to the crazy most successful companies
will eventually expand if they wish to continue to generate large amounts of money and stay
viable and Coca-Cola is no exception the largest producer of soft drinks in the world would make it
a mission to further its reach going all the way back to the 1960s when the mega soft drink brand
acquired orange juice company Minute Maid this marked a new era of both expansion and diversity
as the company could now add fruit juice to its roster of beverages of course Coca-Cola wasn't
satisfied with simply adding a juice brand to its Collective barks is a brand of root beer that was
founded in the late 1800s in New Orleans Louisiana the brand was known for its strong spicy flavor
which was achieved through the use of Wintergreen vanilla and other natural flavors so keep getting
those drinks for free she'll get them she'll get them as many as she can in the 1990s barks became
popular thanks to its catchy ad campaign barks has bites which featured a mascot named Mr bark
and helped to establish the brand as a popular choice among root beer fans in 1995 Coca-Cola
made history when it purchased barks marking the first time that the company had acquired another
carbonated beverage brand within the United States the acquisition allowed Coca-Cola to expand its
portfolio to include a popular root beer brand and gave barks access to Coca-Cola's vast distribution
Network and marketing resources today barks remains a popular choice among root beer fans
so whether you're drinking a barks root beer a Sprite or one of the many Fanta flavors in the end
it's like you're really just drinking Coca-Cola Coca-Cola and Santa Claus go way back you ain't
driving are you I steer a little but the reindeer do my sword what's more synonymous with Christmas
than Jolly Old Saint Nick not too much the image of the rosy-cheeked white bearded Santa guiding
his sleigh while delivering gifts to millions of children is about as Christmassy as you can get
another image that has become a Christmas classic is that of Santa with an ice cold Coca-Cola in his
hand this was a way to change people's perception of the soda due to the popular soft drink being
associated with Summer that if you think that you're on the naughty list I can assure you you
are probably on the naughty list most people at that time only enjoyed a refreshing Coke on a hot
summer day and not so much during the winter so Coca-Cola began an ad campaign to change the image
of their soft drink to that of an all-season beverage with a series of winter themed ads
using of course the images of Santa complete with a bottle of Coke in hand in fact some of
the characteristics of the modern depiction of Santa Claus stem from those original Coca-Cola
advertisements from the 1930s so next time Santa slides down the chimney you may want to leave out
a bottle of coke instead of the classic glass of milk over 200 brands in over 200 countries
it doesn't matter how much you push the envelope it'll still be stationary let's face it Coca-Cola
is a big enough company as it is but why stop big when you can keep getting even bigger this
must have been the business plan for the popular soda company as it now offers over 200 products in
over 200 countries that have nothing to do with its signature soft drink in fact there's a good
chance that you've consumed many of the items Coca-Cola produces without having a clue that
the popular soft drink company was responsible for its production one soda 12 ounces does Coca-Cola
make water well yes it does aha sparkling water CL water and vitamin water are all produced by
the soda giant but wait that's not all there's more the popular Powerade sports drinks Georgia
Coffee Gold Peak teas and coffees Fresca and Fanta are all Coca-Cola products Coca-Cola even produces
