Coca-Cola is fascinating for many reasons: Not only is it a drink, enjoyed around the world, but I nerd out about their marketing.



So, when I took a trip to Atlanta recently, I made sure to stop at the World of Coca-Cola. Amongst many other activities, the space consists of the vault, where the hidden recipe is located, as well as sodas from around the world.



This was really exciting to me, because there were so many different options from so many different corners of the world.



Here is just a sampling:

- What tastes like raspberry cream soda? Sparletta Sparberry! This caffeine-free beverage is available exclusively in several countries across central and southern Africa. Did you know it was first introduced in Africa back in 1955?



- Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee is a caffeine-free still beverage with ripe apple and lychee notes. Lychee is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to southern China that is now cultivated in many parts of the world. Did you know you can pronounce lychee as “lie-chee” or “lee-chee”?



- With the taste of sweet melon, Fanta Melon Frosty is a refreshing sparkling beverage is beloved in Thailand’s sunny, tropical climate. Did you know that The Coca‑Cola Company's second-largest brand outside the USA, Fanta, is available in many distinct flavors in more than 180 countries?



- Sprite Cucumber is a caffeine-free, sparkling beverage with a crisp cucumber flavor, providing a refreshing twist on this classic lemon-lime beverage. Did you know that Sprite originally launched in 1961 and is now enjoyed in over 190 countries?



Would you try any of those?
