Coke

Coca-Cola, commonly referred to as Coke, is one of the world’s most famous carbonated soft drinks. It was created in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia, initially as a medicinal tonic. The drink became popular for its unique flavor and branding, quickly transforming into a commercial beverage under the Coca-Cola Company, founded by Asa Griggs Candler.

Coca-Cola is known for its distinctive taste, primarily derived from a combination of sugar, carbonated water, caffeine, and natural flavors. It has grown into a global brand, available in over 200 countries and constantly adapting to cultural preferences with different flavor variations, like Vanilla Coke, Cherry Coke, and the more recent Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.

Coca-Cola's branding, iconic red and white logo, and extensive marketing campaigns have made it a cultural icon. The brand is closely associated with American culture but has established a strong presence worldwide.
