Coca-Cola Original Taste soda

Coca-Cola is one of the world's most iconic and recognized beverage brands. Originally invented in 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia, the drink was first sold as a fountain beverage at Jacob's Pharmacy. The formula and brand were later acquired by Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing efforts led to the brand's global dominance.

Today, the brand is owned by The Coca-Cola Company, a multinational corporation headquartered in the United States. While the secret concentrate is produced primarily in central plants in the U.S., the final soft drink is manufactured globally through a network of local bottling partners. This decentralized manufacturing model ensures that products sold in specific regions, like Spain, are often bottled in local facilities using regional water sources and sweeteners, making it a product of multiple countries depending on the point of sale.
