There's nothing better than an ice cold Coca-Cola on a hot summer day! It has a lot of sugar though, so I try not to drink too many. Do you like Coca-Cola?
I used to a lot. My grandma sold sodas to the local kids when I was little, so I had a huge supply of it, but eventually, I just grew away from it.
Yeah, I understand. The drink has been around for so long. It actually got it's name from two of its original ingredients, kola nuts and coca leaves. It must've tasted so different back then!
I bet. Some countries even still use cane sugar instead of corn syrup like we do in America, and apparently, it tastes 100x better than ours lol
I've tried it with cane sugar! It's sooo much better! Coca-Cola keeps their recipe a trade secret, but I've tried other brands that taste very similar.
Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet were talking about incentives and how it relates to investing. They mentioned Coca Cola thinking about slightly changing their ingredient, and how that small little change would've destroyed the company. It was really interesting
That is interesting! I never realized that the Coca-Cola Company only sells their product as a concentrate, which is then purchased to licensed bottlers. I assumed they manufactured the 2 Liters themselves.
Yea, they probably didn't want to take over the distribution of the bottles, since they make their most money at McDonalds stores, or something similar where they don't even need the bottles.
Very true.  They probably make a great deal of money selling the concentrate for soda fountains in restaurants.
They have it set up for them to win no matter what, not to mention that people usually associate Coca Cola with everything grand. Super bowl commercials, women on commercials, athletes, action films. It's almost like they're creating a feedback loop for their product. You know what to expect
