This is where they teamed the syrup with carbonated water and the creation of Coca Cola had begun. (Journey Staff, 2012) Since that time, Coca Cola has added many other brands to their main brand. Those brands are Sprite, Fanta, Mello Yellow, and many more. Even though there are many different brands that fall under the Coca Cola logo, they are all some type of drink. This has been the main stay for this corporation since its inception. ("Coca Cola," 2013) In 2012, Coca Cola ranked 324th in the fortune 500 categories, with revenues at $7,939 million with profits of $749 million and assets of $9094 million. In the beverage industry, Coca Cola ranked 59th out of 500. ("CNN Money," 2013)

("Coca Cola," 2013) Mexico is the number one consumer of Coca Cola with an average of 225 liters per person per year. This has surpassed the United States which is only at 200 liters per person per year. The Mexican market represents about 11% of the global sales of Coca Cola. ("SMI Group," n.d.) In Bulgaria, a
