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.
