Coca‑Cola Original Taste

Product and Brand Overview

Coca‑Cola Original Taste is the classic cola soft drink sold under the Coca‑Cola brand. The red "Original Taste" label identifies the flagship formulation of Coca‑Cola (the original cola recipe marketed as the core product).

Origin and Brand History

Coca‑Cola was created in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1886 by pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton. The brand and company that commercialized the beverage, The Coca‑Cola Company, were established later and grew into a global beverage business headquartered in Atlanta, United States.

Manufacturing and Distribution

Coca‑Cola is produced and packaged locally by a network of bottling partners and franchise bottlers around the world rather than being made in a single country. Bottling partners (for example Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners, Coca‑Cola FEMSA, Coca‑Cola HBC, Arca Continental, Swire Coca‑Cola) manufacture, bottle, and distribute the finished drink in their respective territories — hence this product is made in multiple countries depending on where the bottle is sold.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

The Coca‑Cola Company remains the ultimate owner of the Coca‑Cola brand. The company operates a brand-and-formula ownership model while local bottlers handle production and distribution under franchise agreements. This system allows the product to be manufactured locally in many countries while brand ownership and global marketing remain centralized.

Practical identification

The photographed bottle shows the red Coca‑Cola script and the wording "Original Taste," confirming it is the classic Coca‑Cola product. No barcode or manufacturing plant code is visible in the image, so exact country-of-bottling cannot be determined from the photo alone.
