Coca-Cola is a popular carbonated soft drink created in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. It is known for its distinct sweet flavor, which comes from a blend of sugar, caramel color, caffeine, and natural flavors. The drink is often served chilled and is enjoyed worldwide. The brand is owned by The Coca-Cola Company, which is one of the largest beverage companies globally. Coca-Cola is available in various forms, including diet and zero-calorie versions, and is often associated with events, advertising campaigns, and sponsorships in sports and entertainment.
