Coca-Cola makes money primarily from selling

The company known as Coca-Cola today was started in September of 1919, but the first Coke brand was served as early as 1886. Since that time it has grown to be one of the most globally recognized brand names with a stock value of $167 billion. Coke’s plan has always been developed with the future in mind. Right away the company realized that it was more profitable to manufacture the concentrate used to make carbonated drinks than to bottle it. From that point on they saw the entire world, not simply the originating country, as their desired market. It seems only practical that the company should pursue this agenda until conquered then focus the effort on expanding into different product lines. This logical

From the late 1800s until today, the Coca-Cola’s brand has evolved into a top contender in the beverage industry, which ignited the “cola wars” with the company’s top competition PepsiCo. with Coca-Cola controlling 45 percent of the global soft drink market; Coca-Cola’s most famous brands include: Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Powerade, Dasani water and Fanta with Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Fanta being four of the top five leading soft drinks. At the peak of Coca-Cola’s reign, an estimated $1 billion of their products were consumed daily. In 2006, Coca-Cola lost it’s top position to PepsiCo. due to their competitors diverse strategy to include snack foods in their product line. As a result, Coca-Cola’s reputation was in jeopardy.

The brand Coca-Cola has been around for over 130 years. Coca-Colas inventor, John Pemberton has marketed his creation from the very beginning as a product that can serve others beneficially. Perbertons “brain tonic” later turned into a global empire of Coca-Cola. Professor Bartow J. Elmore’s book Citizen Coke: the Making of Coca-Cola Capitalism explores in detail about Cokes formula and how it is made and how it affects individuals and the planet in which we live. Elmore discuses how Coca-Cola has sold its low-price syrup while unloading expenses and risks onto their suppliers, franchisees, and the government. Elmore makes a compelling argument throughout the book that Coca-Cola trademarks it self as a device of economical expansion and a charitable force, however Cokes initiative for growth has made it damage the health of both the public and the planet. Elmore explains each ingredient in the Coca-Cola formula and how it has affected others, business and the environment.

"Greed (for the lack of a better word) is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of evolutionary spirit”. Gordan Gekko from ‘Wall Street’ says that whilst greed is good, our environment conjectures otherwise. The rise of greed and modern human culture has helped facilitate aspects of consumerism by creating a desperation for more. More friends, more food, more clothes, more money, more dreams. Entirely based around the concept of lust, selfishness and envy, consumerism helps appeal to the mass’s most primal desires, exchanging a person’s rationality for emotional investment. Experts now aver that all of human history has come down to one coherent fact; our only purpose is to consume
