    This video covers the INSANE story of Coca-Cola. This MagnatesMedia mini-movie documents the history of Coca-Cola, along with some of Coke's biggest scandals, controversies, and marketing successes.
    This Coca-Cola documentary begins by looking at the early beginnings of Coca-Cola as a patent medicine in the 1800's, created by John Pemberton. We then examine Coca-Cola's marketing strategy, and how it pioneered many marketing tactics that are commonplace today. We then move on to how Coca-Cola profited from war, and how Coke managed to expand globally so rapidly (and create Fanta in the process).
    Next, we look at some of the biggest accusations against Coca-Cola, such as the claims made by the stop killer coke campaign involving union leaders at Coke bottling plants. We also look at Coca-Cola's approach to the negative health effects of its drinks, including the disastrous launch of Dasani in the UK. And finally, we look at the ongoing battle between Coke and Pepsi, and how Coca-Cola created New Coke, that was simultaneously both a marketing disaster, and and one of the greatest business moves the company has made.
    Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking to learn lessons from successful businesses, or you're simply interested to understand Coca-Cola's dramatic history, this MagnatesMedia business documentary about Coca Cola has everything you need.

    Hey legends! This video was a longgg time in the making. Trying to cover over 100 years of history in 1 video was an interesting challenge, but hopefully you like the end result. 😅
    We look at how Coca-Cola began as a dodgy patent medicine, the marketing genius that made Coke so successful, how Coca-Cola profited from the war, the very dark consequences of what Coke has done, and even how they made one of the most successful mistakes ever. There’s obviously loads more than that too, so sit back and enjoy 😉 (I would say grab a nice cold glass of Coke, but given the contents of the video... maybe not...)
    Also, thanks to Lingoda for making this video possible. They’re a great online language school, and their Sprint challenge is absolutely amazing.

      Cream soda had heroin as an additive back in the early 1900s and 1920s. Many became highly addicted to it. My mother, who was born in 1920, was terrified of cream soda and wouldn't touch it in the 1960s even though the heroin had been removed for decades.

    Interesting thing about the taste tests: these results do NOT apply when people have full servings of the drinks. Pepsi is slightly sweeter, and people tend to prefer highly sweet things in small doses since sugar is difficult to come by in nature. New coke tried to replicate this, but when people had bottles it would be saccharin. So things that are too sweet actually do better in taste tests when it’s little shot glasses full. This is actually part of the reason Pepsi did these studies because they knew what the result would be before they did it

      also in my experience pepsi goes flat much faster so by the time u get to the end of the soda its just terrible. i do enjoy a fresh pepsi more and always have but if im drinking the whole thing then coke is better everytime. imo. also when from a fountain coke holds up longer as well against the ice melting b/c of the same higher carbonation.

    I previously worked for a High Fructose Corn Syrup (hfcs) refinery. The refinery was supposed to meet food grade standards per the FDA. This place was a complete joke! The corn they used to make hfcs was stored inside huge corn silos that were infested with rats. The rats ate the corn, and defecated and urinated on it. As the corn would be transported by conveyors, sometimes the rats would get mutilated by the conveyors spreading their carcass remains all on the corn, including body tissue, organ tissue, and blood. Totally gross! This Refinery supplied hfcs to none other than Coca Cola!
    I started a grass roots organization in order to inform consumers. I have been in touch with Coca Cola''s board of directors, and they refused to meet with me to see the evidence I have. Co=workers had tried to get the FDA to intervene but they never did.

    When I was growing up (in the deep South), my grandfather owned a "general" store. That means he sold a variety of things, not just groceries. In front of his story there was an ice box and he kept soda pop there. There was Dr. Pepper, Nehi, Pepsi, R.C. Cola , Orange and coco cola. I remember being in the store sometime and people would come in would ask for "a dope." This was NOT a narcotic, it was just Soda. I learned later that many, many years ago coca cola did have some "dope" in it. But my grandfather. who also preached in our church from time to time would never have allowed that.

      Agreed. I jus wish they were more truthful with the harsh truths, like what Coke does to the environment especially in Mexico. People there feed Coke to their babies, and have to filter their drinking water through an old system that barely gives them one liter of clean water. They underpay their workers, but what choice do poor folks have. Coke isn't an old friend, because friends don't hurt each other and kill people. The video ends that way, versus hoping Coke develops a better system for all it does that truly benefits the environment, its customers and its employees.

    As a Vietnamese, I can say Coke indeed has become a part of people's lives. After the US removed the banning, Coke came right back in 94. They had a joint venture with a state-owned company and built a huge factory just outside HCM city. As a kid, when ever I went pass by the factory, I always gasped at how big it was. And the product the Coke bottle itself was so cheap, it became a popular drink. I remember back then when my family were visiting hometown, I frowned all the way because you know kids. One of my uncles brought me uptown and bought me a bottle of Coke. The bottle was cheap (should be around $0.4). But he was really poor (he was a farmer and hardly made money back then) yet he still spent some to cheer up his nephew. And indeed a cold coke bottle in a sunny afternoon really lit me up. Sadly he passed away just a couple years later so I couldn't buy him back something. These days I don't drink Coke as much (mostly energy drinks now). But once in a while I come back for a Classic Taste bottle just to reminisce the old days. As you said in the video. They don't sell you a drink. They sell you happy memories.

      Back in the 70's while spending a tour of duty in Vietnam Coke Acola was found to be a big product over there, even the vietnamese would acquire it and sell it cold to the Gi's. Coke was the largest supplier fallowed by Pepsi. In the storage areas it was stacked over ten feet high X twenty or more feet long rolls X twenty feet deep where I was stationed. War was always good for Coke Acola. If I recall rightly it was even out there in WW2, at least the ad's in the states were supporting Coke.

Then, when the US formally entered the war, they had to cut ties with Fanta for the duration. And Fanta created some new flavors while they were on their own. So, when the war was over, and Coke could go back into Germany, they decided to keep Fanta going because of those new flavors. Simple marketing.

    I have literally always hated the taste of coke. As a kid I would rather have fanta if we went out, but not regularly, I was never hugely into soft drinks. Now I probably haven't had a carbonated soft drink in about 20 years. Not because of a decision I made, but I guess there is no addiction there for me, so if given the choice I'll choose something healthier instead. I've always enjoyed things in moderation more than excess, so I suppose it kept me from getting too attached to any of these sugary cancers.

      You're really lucky. I drank coke from early childhood on, when other families visited their kids were allowed to drink coke which only happened once or twice a month for them. These kids were almost out of their mind happy being allowed to drink one glass which was weird to me since coke was everything I drank besides coffee.
      Coffe was the other addiction in my life from early childhood, I still remember how much I begged my mom to let me drink coffee until she finally caved in and let me have some with a lot of milk on top. From that day on every morning I had coffee for breakfast which lead to some serious situations on school trips when youth hostels were only serving pure tap water and rhubarb or rose hip tea - I'd have rather licked a fresh dog turd than putting any of that in my mouth so teachers were very concerned of me getting dehydrated and they called home. From that day on I had to carry a written allowance to drink coffee on all school trips which lead to me having to always sit at the teachers table at breakfast.

    I loved Coke. I was working a night shift and developed some stomach trouble. I was a young athlete, in great health. I went to the doctor and he asked me what I was doing during the course of my days and nights. Because he figured it must be something that I am eating that is irritating my stomach. When I told him that I drank a few Coke during my work shift when on a break. He told me to stop drinking the Coke for a month and see how I felt. I did that and the stomach pain and upset went away. I haven't drank Coke since the mid-eighties. Actually I haven't drank any pop or what is called cola since that time. I mainly just drink water but I have some tea, mostly herbal and maybe a coffee once or twice a week. I do have some freshly squeezed orange juice during the week and that's about it. I don't drink beer or spirits, I'm kind of a boring guy. But I do recommend people drop drinking Coke, it's addictive and it's bad for you. Same as those energy drinks. Look after yourselves.

I thought it tasted weird and it hurt my tongue and throat from the carbonation. But that turned into an addiction lol as I grew older and was more independent during my early teen years I drank soda like crazy. My favorite drinks were "suic*des" (every soda fountain drink mixed together). When I was 16 I dropped it because I had become very overweight between elementary school and then. I lost weight pretty quickly, and now I don't even drink it on average once a year. I just have no desire for it and I think that's thanks to my mom for not exposing me to it for the first 7 years of my life.

The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”

    Being from rural Appalachia, I was raised on soda. Like, literally a case of whichever soda we had stocked a day from the ages of 4 to 15. Back then it was mainly mtn, which now I've long hated, but everyone around me drinks Coke profusely. I always hated it the most because I always got this awful burning sensation as it went down my esophagus, almost like the painful and nauseating feeling you get when you chug a soda on an empty stomach, but it'd happen with coke no matter how much I ate. Other colas didn't do that. I'll occasionally get a Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb when I go out to eat, maybe Cheerwine. RC cola is a guilty pleasure of mine and highly underrated imo as far as colas go. But thankfully I've mostly lived on water and milk since I was 15 or 16. I drank tea a LOT during the first year of quitting soda due to the caffeine withdrawals, but eventually I weaned off and have it missed it since. My high metabolism meant soda never effected my weight, but by 15 I was highly at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. I caught it in time to stop it and though I'm still at risk due to genetics, it's way less likely I'll develop it anytime soon according to my doctors. It was affecting my eye sight, I have a lot of neurological problems too, that though aren't genetic, can likely be blamed on a number of other factors like relying on soda during key developing years. I was covered in more acne than anyone I've ever known from 2nd grade to age 15, but as soon as I quit soda my skin cleared up very quickly and I haven't had hardly any acne since which is especially surprising considering how oily and sweaty of a person I am. It breaks my heart how commonplace it is to see children, even babies and toddlers, drink so much soda. I understand it's safer than much of the water in the world, even in the US, which is a big part of why it's so especially prevalent in Appalachian culture, and I don't want to tell anyone how to raise your kids. But please, if you can avoid it, don't get your kids hooked on sodas even if you currently are. I urge anyone to quit living on them. They're nice little treats here and there, but give your body what it really needs to function. Or at the very least, give your kids a chance to develop like human beings. Not just for obesity's sake, but for their brains and the rest of their organs. I've felt healthier and happier for it, and so do most people that managed to move on. I know it's tough but we can all do it. Best of luck, happy holidays everyone

    Very well done; however you missed to mention that their influence in the World was so big that the reason Santa is no longer a Green dwarf-like creature is because Coke commissioned Haddon Sunblock to create a new Santa for the World and it debuted in 1931. Thus, the Santa we know is a Coca cola marketing creation. Furthermore, Coke gave instructions to the bottling company stating that the design must be such that even a drunk person at night must be able to recognise the bottle shape as being a Coke. That is why the glass bottle design was important. Tell me if you can recognise that shape blindfolded.

    4 cans a day on average for most of my life. Quit cold turkey last January and I've lost 30 lbs.
    I hit 260 and it scared me out of the addiction, not sure how but it did. Btw, after a few months, the very occasional coke I drank, (ok, not exactly cold turkey but dang near it) i noticed it started to taste like syrup. I littlerally don't like the taste anymore which makes no sense to me but thats how it is.
    If you have a coke addiction, I promise you can kick it if you just decide to do it. You can help by drinking iced tea with a little Orange Juice and that will help scratch the itch.

      Ive never liked the taste of regular Coke. Its after taste is way too sugary and makes me gag. Sugar free however removed the after taste and makes it delicious for me. Tho sugar free Pepsi still wins over it for me.
      Tho im adicted. To it. I drink like 2 Cans a day now. And i cant get rid of it.

      Since I quit soft drinks that only one I ever have any more is a fountain drink with ice in it if at all because it tasts so bad.
      They could water it down more and sell more of it but then you could just drink water which is better for you anyway NOT DIASANTI or whaterver the they sell or Nestlie sells.
      That's another subject but paying the same price for tap water is just the stupidest thing I've ever known a human being to do and I dont' EVER buy bottled water. WHAT a rip off !!!

    It's pretty cool that here in Sweden we have our own Christmas-y soft drink, "Julmust" which is a kind of malt soda that's somewhat similar to root beer. Here the sale of Coca Cola actually drops by as much as 50% during the Christmas holidays. Coca Cola still pushes their Christmas themed marketing even here, but so far they haven't succeeded.

      Here in Scotland we have another fizzy drink which actually outsells the brown stuff all year round - and has done since at least 1947 (and possibly a lot longer).
      The drink is called Irn Bru and it has been around since 1901.

    Coka-cleans stains in the toilet bowl really. Imagine what it is doing to your health.
    The reality is, is that sugar is one of the most addictive substances in the world. And there is alot of hidden sugars.
    Yet we are not 'allowed' to use cannabis without a prescription despite its therapeutic benefits.

    From my brief stint in restaurant management I remember that soda sales were BY FAR the most lucrative segment of the business, just sayin
    This creator is spot on with these accusations, it's easy to look up. Coke has had a lot of shady dealings ( mostly outside the US) peddling their shite

    There was a documentary years ago that I think was just called "The Cola Wars". (Not the newer one on the History channel.)
    I remember taping it in the late 90's and it was several hours. (Sadly I no longer have it.)
    It covered so much of the dirty laundry between Coke and Pepsi.
    This vid made me think of that.

    I worked for one of Coke's suppliers when NEW coke came out. When they discontinued it, the coke rep we dealt with told us that the complete FLOOR of people involved were immediately fired with no chance to come back. I'm assuming he was right - but that shows how cut-throat coke is.
