Many people get a New Year's mood when a red van with a sparkling Coca-Cola sign enters the city. For some people, this drink is associated with childhood, traveling abroad, going to the cinema... All these memories come alive at the Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta. Even if you haven't touched this sweet fizzy drink in years.
It all started with a desire to help people. That was what the pharmacist John Pemberton, who, incidentally, was originally from Atlanta, was guided by. He created a very concentrated sweet syrup. This syrup diluted with water perfectly relieved the abdominal pain. Then Coca-Cola's father took his invention to the nearest pharmacy, where the syrup was mixed with sparkling water and sold. Sweet carbonated water quickly gained popularity among residents of the city, and then around the world.
Just imagine, $ 1.9 billion a day! That's how much profit daily servings of Coke bring. In those days when the taste of Coca-Cola was just beginning to be tasted, they sold only nine servings a day for five cents per glass.
By the way, now Coca-Cola can also benefit the stomach. The main thing is not to overdo it.
It is a little exciting to enter the building of a world-famous company that is more than 125 years old! In the main hall, you are greeted by huge bottles of Coca-Cola from all over the world: Tashkent, Malaysia, China. They are all different. This legendary drink unites the whole world.
Go further and you will see motivational posters on the walls, inscriptions, people with smiles on their faces, and a glass of cold Coke. All in the same bright and cheerful colors. Do you remember that beautiful glass Coke bottle? You don't want to throw it away. You want to leave it as a memory, as if about some event. And someone collected them: not quite ordinary bottles, but from a limited series.
And then you see a miracle! Bottled Coke is being produced right in front of you!
