Coca-Cola is a globally recognized brand that produces a range of soft drink products. The company was founded in 1886 and has since expanded its offerings to include a variety of beverages, including Coca-Cola Classic, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, and more.

Coca-Cola Classic, also known as the original Coca-Cola, is a carbonated drink that is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup or cane sugar depending on the region. The original Coca-Cola recipe is a closely guarded secret: Despite many attempts to uncover the original recipe, the formula for Coca-Cola remains a closely guarded secret. Only a handful of people are said to know the full recipe. Diet Coke, on the other hand, is a sugar-free alternative that is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

Sprite is a lemon-lime flavored drink that was first introduced in 1961, and Fanta is a fruity drink that comes in a variety of flavors, including orange, strawberry, and grape. Coca-Cola also produces sports drinks, such as Powerade, and other non-carbonated beverages, such as Minute Maid and Simply Orange juice.
