Many beverages have been produced and manufactured over time, but there has never been a drink that makes your mouth water as your hear the pop of the bottle opening, a drink that bubbles in your mouth as you drink it, a drink that has an even richer history and more efficient company than any other. This drink is “French Wine Cola.” At least that is what John Stith Pemberton, the creator of Coca-Cola, called it before his bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, suggested the now famous name Coca-Cola(Library of Congress). Robinson also suggested adding the slogan, “delicious and refreshing,” to all of Coke’s ads. Coca-Cola is a beverage that has been successful for many years.Though most people would tell you Coca-Cola is just a drink, it is more than just a soft drink. Coke, created by a man who lived in Columbus, Ga, started out as a medicine, has a unique bottling,and is a very interesting piece of history as a business and as a soft-drink.

According to the stats, Christianity in America is declining. A massive research on religion changes from 2007 to 2014 in America showed that Christianity in America has dropped from being the religion of 78.4% to 70.6% to Americans, while those who identify with unaffiliated has risen 6.7% (America’s Changing Religious Landscape). The drop in Christianity, according to the study, is “driven mainly by declines among mainline Protestants and Catholics” (America’s Changing Religious Landscape). A quick observation can tell a person that the percent of Christians going down is about equal to the percent rise of the unaffiliated. Some people might assume that the drop in Christianity comes from the fact that more people are realizing that it is

If going to the dentist is the last item to check off your list, consider moving it up to the top. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Most people know that they can get dental cleanings and tooth fillings in a general dentistry office, but did you know that there are also a good number of other services?

I couldn't sleep at 4:00am, Saturday morning. I woke up early to see the gloomy morning on the day of my robotics competition. The bland morning, grey and pessimistic, seemed like a sky of splattered gold paint over a large canvas to me. Not even my parents were awake, but my roaming had woken them up because I saw my mother peek her head into the bathroom door as my fingers ran through the strand of my short hair. “Que haces? What are you doing at this time?” She inquired in a scolding, fatigued tone; her eyes squinting due to the bathroom’s flooding luminescence. “I couldn't sleep,” I replied simply as I slid rivers of brown locks to the right.

Coca Cola and Pepsi have been at odds ever since they started out at the turn of the century. Coca Cola had an early advantage but Pepsi managed to gain a strong hold in its respective markets and together the two of them have squeezed almost every other competitor out of the market. They have both, over the years, found ways to diversify their holdings and lower costs of production, seemingly steered, not by innovation or forward thinking, but as a direct response to market fluctuations and dips. Instead of foreseeing potential markets that could be accessed early, Coca Cola waited until it was desperate and floundering to make a decision. Pepsi also lacked a significant amount of foresight but were able to make smarter business decisions
