Coca Cola is one the brands that we allknow and that everyone seem to know around the world.

It is a fizzy drink and is made of a syrup which was invented in 1886 by an American doctor as an energy drink, and people liked it so much that the myth was bron.

The success of Coca Cola is in my view due to both a very clever marketing campaign and the secret formula to produce it.Not many people know that in each country in the world, or pretty much each country, since there are still few Coca Cola free corners of the planet, Coca Cola is produced and bottled locally and the formula is different, although minimally, in each country.

You can but Coca Cola in cans of 330 ml, or plastic bottles of 1,5 litres and also bottles of plastic of 330ml. The glass bottles of Coca Cola are more expensive. In Uk epxect to pay around 5-60 p for a can and around 1 Pound for the bottle, or more than that, depending on location.

Coca Cola is meant to be addictive, in a certain way it is. I normally drink it any time I require a boost of energy, and this can be in the morning, but always after breakfast, in the afternoon, or when I make sport.

I like the boost of Coca Cola when I go out cycling in summer for long hours, however, due to the syrup in Coca Cola and the level of sugar, I "wash it" with some plain water.

I like Coca Cola with lemon, some time I mix it with whisky,and less frequently with vodka.

When I was young in Spain we used to mix Coca Cola with wine, these days I would not be able to drink it in this way! If mixed with aspirine Coca Cola is supposed to give a big boost of energy and fasten dramatically the beating of your heart

Whatever you do, keep standard, ordering Coca Cola for dinner in a nice restaurant is NOT the thing to do, and if you go to Italy or France, do not even think about doing it. Once I was in a restaurant in Marseille and a group of Americans ordered Coca Cola with their meal. The waiter took the order, but later on the owner of the restaurant told them that he did not have it, and an embarassing scene followed, with the American making a big fuss out of it.

Coca Cola is good for digesting too.

Summary: I like it
