The World of Coke

Many tourist attractions are in Atlanta, but one that both locals and tourists enjoy a great deal is the World of Coke. The World of Coke is a very large museum of the history of Coke, dioramas of ancient Coke products, a sampling room with Coke products from around toe world, and the largest Coke brand store in the world. One of the things that Coke claims by having this world is that it has greatly influenced the world by its main product: Coca-Cola. This is supported by the true statements that Coke makes throughout the World of Coke, "We are everywhere." Coke has branched to every part of the world. Most people would agree that there is something special about opening that glass-bottled Coke on Christmas morning. Almost everyone, at least in the United States, has seen the Christmas Santa Coke and the Polar Bears Coke commercials. One thing about the World of Coke that I have noticed is that it has never gotten old. I have personally been five times to it and I find something new about it every time I go. There is always something that you missed last time, or some new artifact that they have found. Those artifacts are all over the building and most of them need no label, people know what it is and the recognition evokes that fun memory of the first time you saw it. One thing that most people should know about the World of Coke before going is that you should come thirsty. Because around every turn are free samples of all kinds of Coke and Coke products. There is even an entire room that was created just to sample Coke from around the world. Even for those of us who cannot drink any sort of carbonation, there are Coke product samples for us. My personal favorite would have to be the Nestle Iced Tea from China.
