A hot summer is a season for people to remind of cool drink. Compared to the society before, it seems that there are more and more beverages invented and amused people. Coke isn’t any new idea anymore, but its fame lasts for such a long time that it’s still adorable among the public now.

At first, coke was the formula of a kind of medicine in the drug and chemical company and it was originally a coca wine. Coca-cola was developed as a non-alcoholic version of French Wine Coca. Later, it was sold at the pharmacy in a form a soda fountain and was claimed that it can cure many diseases. After a long process of changing name, the creator finally decided to use the name Coca-cola to sell in the market. In 1985, the company changed the formula of the coke. They did some taste tests to both the customers who preferred the taste of Coke and Pepsi. However, many people missed the old-formula so the income didn’t rise but fall. Therefore, the company went back to a variation of the old formula with high-fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar. In 21 century, it started to launch diet coke product such as Coca-cola Zero, which is an action that proves itself as a healthy product.

Although some experts said that soda drink isn’t good to our health because it increases the rate to obesity for many people, it’s still popular among people since it’s so special.

Modern jeans began to appear in 1920s, but sales are confined to certain consumers, especially for the working people of western United States like lumberjacks, railroad workers and cowboys. When Easterners took vacation back home from the West, they brought back the tales of the hard-wearing pants with rivets. This is the first time that Levi’s jeans were introduced to the East. When WWⅡ happened, jeans became a necessary commodity and were only sold to those who engaged in defense work.

In my childhood, my parents sent me a set of Lego as birthday present once. It is truly amazing because I could combine them into many objects. What’s even more special, making a theme park of your own is not a dream anymore. By plastic bricks, you construct the home or the places should be in your brain and make it into reality.

Lego is manufactured by the Lego Group and the company is in Billund, Denmark. It began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company started the name “Lego” and it began producing the well-know interlocking bricks now. The bricks had several round studs on top, and a hollow rectangular bottom. The blocks snapped together, but not so tightly that they required extraordinary effort to be separated. Speaking of design, Lego pieces of all varieties are a part of a universal system. Today, the Lego Group has released thousands of sets themed around a variety of topics, like the new ”Atlantis” since it began producing plastic bricks. Other examples include dinosaurs, the wild west, pirates, scuba diving and castles. In addition, lots of licensed themes have been released such as, Star War, Batman, SpongeBob, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones and Spiderman. It tries hard to appeal the public in different ages. Not only it produces toys but it releases video games, theme parks, board games and films.
