INTRODUCTION

• Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines in over 200 countries. Is produced by The Coca-Cola Company.

• The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia by John Pemberton, originally as a cocawine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca in 1885.He may have been inspired by the formidable success of Vin Mariani, a European cocawine.

• It was May 5, 1886 when a 54-year veteran pharmacist named John Pemberton created the formula for Coca-Cola.

PROCESS OF THE COCA COLA

• Stage 1: First the water is cleaned and then it is filtered. Then one part of the water is transported to be kept, because the water will be mixed. The other part of the water is transported to another part of the fabric. That part will be mixed.

• Stage 2: While one part of the water is kept, the other part is mixed with sugar and concentrated to make the syrup.

• Stage 3: Then the water that was kept is mixed up with the syrup to make the soft drink (Coca cola).

• Stage 4: Then the mix of water and syrup (the soft drink) is transported to a carbonatator machine (the water is carbonized with CO2).

• Stage 5: Then the carbonized soft drink is filled up on cleaned bottles, then is transported to a codificator, then the filled bottles are packed.

• Stage 6: Finally the bottles with soft drink are transported in a truck to be sold on supermarkets.
