A community portal about Coca-Cola with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Coca-Cola is a carbonated cola and the world's most popular soft drink. The Coca-Cola Company's headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia, where the drink was first concocted around 1886. Coke's inventor John Styth Pemberton was not a shrewd marketer of his drink, and the ownership of Coke eventually passed to Asa Candler, whose company remains the producer of Coke today. Candler's successful marketing, continued by his successors such as Robert Woodruff, established Coke as a major soft drink first in the United States and later around the world.

OBAMA IS A COCA-COLA MAN Driving down Interstate 35 North toward downtown Kansas City, Missouri, you will see the Old Coca-Cola Billboard that has been there for ages, just North Pepsi has placed a Billboard with their New Logo with one word above, "FABULOUS."
The logo is a take from the Obama 2008 Presidential Campaign Logo, so I was wondering is Obama a Pepsi Man or a Coke Man (personally Lex Rex is a Coca-Cola man, specifically diet Coke). Yahoo News, has broken the story Micahel... Read Full Story

It’s reported that Coca-Cola’s new aluminum bottle design keeps Coke 15% colder (longer) than a standard shaped can – I’m certainly a fan of that. Nibbles of Tidbits previously ran a contest and the prize was a case (24) of them. And since that time, I’ve learned they’re quite the hot commodity. You’ll never see them in a boring grocery store — They’re way too cool!
We attended a Coca-Cola Tasting Event at Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach, steps away from the sand. It was on their... Read Full Story

A Brief History of The Coca-Cola Company
Coca-Cola was first invented by John Stith Pemberton in 1886 as a drink meant to impart good health and stamina. Pemberton was a pharmacist from Columbus, Georgia who originally made a cocawine called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca in 1885. When prohibition laws were passed within his county, Pemberton set out to make a new, non-alcoholic drink. What he created was a pleasant tasting syrup that could be mixed with carbonated water and served at the... Read Full Story
Once upon a time Michael Jackson was one of Pesi Cola’s spokes creatures. That in itself doesn’t mean that Pepsi endorses paedophila, of course. After all, they stopped using Michael as one of the (admittedly too scary) faces of the Pepsi Family - more or less around the time that Pajama Party Man started to talk about Jesus juice.
So, it would not be fair either to say that Coca Cola was behind the Crucifixion of Jesus. After all, they stopped sponsoring the Event…
What?

December continues to deliver Coca-Cola a series of blows. First, Governor David Peterson announced the New York state obesity tax . That tax adds 15 cents to the cost of a pop, or is that soda in New York. Now the Food and Drug Administration decided Coke is violating their regulations by fortifying cola. Diet Coke Plus, an artificially sweetened soft drink containing vitamins and minerals, is mislabeled according to the FDA. The FDA letter to Coca-Cola instructed the company that its...
