turned into a drink.
Now Coca-Cola is the biggest drinks manufacturer in the world, making a variety of different drinks. Coca-Cola continually updates their products to suit the needs of different customers. The drinks come in a variety of packaging from cans to bottles of different sizes including glass and plastic bottles.
