World of Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola (Coke) is a huge industry in Georgia and was created in 1886 by Georgia native John Pemberton. The world of Coca-Cola is a museum that showcases the history of the company located in Atlanta, Georgia; Georgia’s capital. There are multiple exhibits and you can taste over 100 types of Coke from around the world. Some of the exhibits are The Vault, the Pop Culture Gallery, and the Coca-Cola Theater. The Vault is where you can learn about the legend of the secret formula for Coke. The Pop Culture Gallery includes artwork from fans and the different designs throughout the history of Coke. The Coca-Cola Theater shows a six-minute film that celebrates some memories of some people from different cultures and ages. Another neat exhibit is the Coca-Cola Polar Bear mascot and how he came to be the mascot, his importance, and his different styles throughout the years.
Coke is very important to people in Georgia. Most people here call any carbonated beverage a coke, whether it is from that brand or not. Around here that is socially acceptable.

Oh! I think this museum is really big and wonderful! I would wonder if there are any games about Coca-Cola?
I hope I can visit there and taste different flavours of Coca-Cola!

Hi, Jaden, thank you for your sharing. In Hong Kong, we also have a little museum of Coca-Cola too. It is located in Shatin. In there, visitors can know the production process of the Coke. Also, the HK Coca-Cola Museum contains over 2000 pieces of Coca-Cola collections. The museum is decorated in the classic red and white Coca-Cola theme. Many visitors will also buy many souvenirs after their tour!
By the way, I didn’t expect that there are over 100 types of Coke in the world! I hope I can visit the Coca-Cola industry in Georgia and try them all!
