I think U.S.A doesn't have a comparative advantage in soft drinks for many reasons. A significant reason would be that sodas can be manufactured much more cheaply in foreign countries. It makes more economic sense for Coca Cola to produce the soft drinks in the countries where they will be sold. This will take advantage of cheaper labor and reduced shipping costs. There are many things that the United States can do that will put more of our natural resources to work in a more efficient manner.
