Coca-Cola (often referred to simply as Coke) is an American carbonated soft drink[1] produced

by The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Originally intended as a patent
medicine, it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton. Coca-Cola was bought out by
businessmanAsa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world
soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The drink's name refers to two of its original
ingredients, which were kola nuts (a source of caffeine) andcoca leaves. The current formula of
Coca-Cola remains a trade secret, although a variety of reported recipes and experimental
recreations have been published.
The Coca-Cola Company produces concentrate, which is then sold to licensed Coca-Cola bottlers
throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold exclusive territory contracts with the company, produce
the finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate, in combination with filtered water and
sweeteners. A typical 12-US-fluid-ounce (350 ml) can contains 38 grams (1.3 oz) of sugar (usually in
the form of high fructose corn syrup). The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola to
retail stores, restaurants and vending machines throughout the world. The Coca-Cola Company also
sells concentrate for soda fountains of major restaurants and foodservicedistributors.
The Coca-Cola Company has on occasion introduced other cola drinks under the Coke name. The
most common of these is Diet Coke, with others includingCaffeine-Free, Caffeine-Free Diet
Coke, Cherry, Zero, Vanilla and special versions with lemon, lime and coffee. Based on Interbrand's
best global brand study of 2015, Coca-Cola was the world's third most valuable brand. [2] In 2013,
Coke products were sold in over 200 countries worldwide, with consumers downing more than 1.8
billion company beverage servings each day.[3]
