Coca-Cola – Sabor Original (can)

Product and packaging

The photographed product is a Coca‑Cola can labeled "Sabor Original," the Spanish-language packaging variant of Coca‑Cola’s flagship cola. This identifies it as the classic Coca‑Cola soft drink sold in a single‑serve aluminum can.

Brand origin and history

Coca‑Cola was invented in Atlanta, Georgia, by pharmacist Dr. John S. Pemberton in 1886. The Coca‑Cola Company was later formed (1892) to commercialize and grow the brand. The red script logo and "Coca‑Cola" name are globally recognized trademarks of the company.

Manufacturing and distribution

Coca‑Cola finished beverages are produced and packaged by a global system of bottling partners and company bottling operations. Cans and bottles are manufactured in many countries close to their markets, so finished Coca‑Cola cans are produced in multiple countries rather than a single origin. The Spanish wording on this can ("Sabor Original") suggests it was intended for Spanish‑language markets (Spain and/or Latin America), but the Coca‑Cola supply system means local bottlers in those markets would have manufactured and filled this specific can.

Ownership and local operations

The Coca‑Cola Company remains the ultimate owner of the Coca‑Cola brand and global concentrate business; local production, packaging and distribution are handled by regional bottlers (for example, Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners in much of Europe). The pictured product is therefore a Coca‑Cola Company brand produced and filled by a regional bottler in the market where the can was sold.
