Coca Cola was founded in 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia by Dr. John Pemberton and Frank Robinson. Over the decades, Coca Cola grew to become a global brand, beginning to sponsor the Olympics in 1928. The company established Santa Claus's modern appearance in 1931 advertising and sold Fanta in Germany during World War 2. Coca Cola launched new products like Diet Coke in 1982 and New Coke in 1985, while expanding their product range in the 2000s through brand extensions. Known as a symbol of globalization, Coca Cola has relied on evolving slogans and classic advertisements to increase brand recognition worldwide and maintain high profit margins through efficient production.
