May 8th, 1886

The product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for Coca-Cola®, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink.

Which are the FMCG companies in India?

HCCB’s (Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages) product portfolio includes Coca-Cola, one of the world’s favorite sparkling drinks. Coca-Cola is sold in more than 200 countries, has many firsts to its credit – the first product to appear on the cover of the TIME magazine; the first soft drink to be consumed in space; the first company to feature Santa in its advertising campaign. In fact, Coca-Cola is credited for establishing Santa as a pleasantly plump character painted in red with rosy cheeks, a white beard, twinkling eyes and laughter lines. Coca-Cola traces its origin to May 8, 1885, when John Pemberton, a pharmacist, created a distinctive tasting soft drink. The name Coca-Cola was given to the beverage because it contained extracts from the coca leaf and the kola nut. It was, however, Dr Pemberton's friend and business partner, Frank M Robinson, who came up with the name Coca‑Cola. He wrote it out by hand in the Spencerian script thinking the two Cs would look well in advertising. The company continues to use the same design as its logo. The famous contour bottle prototype, which became the standard bottle of Coca- Cola, was designed by Alexander Samuelson and patented by the Root Glass Company in 1915. Variants of Coca-Cola include low and no-sugar options such as Diet Coke and Coca- Cola No sugar.


What is Strategic vs Tactical Decision?

Here is an example of a strategic business decision and a tactical one. We'll make up a company name to facilitate the answer. Kooler Kola only makes one soft drink product called Kola Plus. It is determined by the Kooler Kola Co. that there is not enough cash flow & profit in this product and it needs to do something about it. Kooler makes a strategic decision to broaden its market by adding a new soft drink to its product line. Thus Kooler is making a change in its market strategy by adding a new product. The tactical decision made to implement the strategy change is to create a cherry flavored drink to its product line as there seems to be little competition in the cherry cola markets. So strategy is the overall objective and this is accomplished by the tactic of introducing cherry kola.
