History of Coca-Cola Company (Coke)

***** and Overview

We all know - at least if we are old enough to have heard the jingle - that Coke would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. Except ***** this isn't quite true. What the Coca-Cola ***** would most like ***** do is to teach the world to dr*****k Coke - or one ***** its other wholly owned brands. The company has in fact proved to be remarkably hardy in the ever-more-globalizing economy. It's hard to travel anywhere in the ***** today and not see someone sipp*****g a Diet Coke.

Our first international bottling plants opened in 1906 in Canada, Cuba and Panama, soon followed by many more. Today, we produce ***** than 230 br*****s in nearly 200 countries. More than 70 percent ***** our income comes from outside the U.S., but the real reason we are a truly glob*****l ***** is that our products meet the varied taste preferences of consumers everywhere. We bring refreshment ***** people in nearly 200 countries.
