This video covers the INSANE story of Coca-Cola. This MagnatesMedia mini-movie documents the history of Coca-Cola, along with some of Coke's biggest scandals, controversies, and marketing successes.
This Coca-Cola documentary begins by looking at the early beginnings of Coca-Cola as a patent medicine in the 1800's, created by John Pemberton. We then examine Coca-Cola's marketing strategy, and how it pioneered many marketing tactics that are commonplace today. We then move on to how Coca-Cola profited from war, and how Coke managed to expand globally so rapidly (and create Fanta in the process).
Next, we look at some of the biggest accusations against Coca-Cola, such as the claims made by the stop killer coke campaign involving union leaders at Coke bottling plants. We also look at Coca-Cola's approach to the negative health effects of its drinks, including the disastrous launch of Dasani in the UK. And finally, we look at the ongoing battle between Coke and Pepsi, and how Coca-Cola created New Coke, that was simultaneously both a marketing disaster, and and one of the greatest business moves the company has made.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur looking to learn lessons from successful businesses, or you're simply interested to understand Coca-Cola's dramatic history, this MagnatesMedia business documentary about Coca Cola has everything you need.

Hey legends! This video was a longgg time in the making. Trying to cover over 100 years of history in 1 video was an interesting challenge, but hopefully you like the end result. 😅 We look at how Coca-Cola began as a dodgy patent medicine, the marketing genius that made Coke so successful, how Coca-Cola profited from the war, the very dark consequences of what Coke has done, and even how they made one of the most successful mistakes ever. There’s obviously loads more than that too, so sit back and enjoy 😉 (I would say grab a nice cold glass of Coke, but given the contents of the video... maybe not...) Also, thanks to Lingoda for making this video possible. They’re a great online language school, and their Sprint challenge is absolutely amazing.

Interesting thing about the taste tests: these results do NOT apply when people have full servings of the drinks. Pepsi is slightly sweeter, and people tend to prefer highly sweet things in small doses since sugar is difficult to come by in nature. New coke tried to replicate this, but when people had bottles it would be saccharin. So things that are too sweet actually do better in taste tests when it’s little shot glasses full. This is actually part of the reason Pepsi did these studies because they knew what the result would be before they did it

@marcuswilliams6367 Жыл бұрын

also in my experience pepsi goes flat much faster so by the time u get to the end of the soda its just terrible. i do enjoy a fresh pepsi more and always have but if im drinking the whole thing then coke is better everytime. imo. also when from a fountain coke holds up longer as well against the ice melting b/c of the same higher carbonation.

I previously worked for a High Fructose Corn Syrup (hfcs) refinery. The refinery was supposed to meet food grade standards per the FDA. This place was a complete joke! The corn they used to make hfcs was stored inside huge corn silos that were infested with rats. The rats ate the corn, and defecated and urinated on it. As the corn would be transported by conveyors, sometimes the rats would get mutilated by the conveyors spreading their carcass remains all on the corn, including body tissue, organ tissue, and blood. Totally gross! This Refinery supplied hfcs to none other than Coca Cola! I started a grass roots organization in order to inform consumers. I have been in touch with Coca Cola''s board of directors, and they refused to meet with me to see the evidence I have. Co=workers had tried to get the FDA to intervene but they never did.

When I was growing up (in the deep South), my grandfather owned a "general" store. That means he sold a variety of things, not just groceries. In front of his story there was an ice box and he kept soda pop there. There was Dr. Pepper, Nehi, Pepsi, R.C. Cola , Orange and coco cola. I remember being in the store sometime and people would come in would ask for "a dope." This was NOT a narcotic, it was just Soda. I learned later that many, many years ago coca cola did have some "dope" in it. But my grandfather. who also preached in our church from time to time would never have allowed that.

You missed one of the most important points! Original coke was sweetened with sugar, (sucrose) but coke-classic was sweetened with _corn syrup!_ They *never* brought the original formula back, they used the "new coke" interum to do the old switcheroo.

People there feed Coke to their babies, and have to filter their drinking water through an old system that barely gives them one liter of clean water. They underpay their workers, but what choice do poor folks have. Coke isn't an old friend, because friends don't hurt each other and kill people. The video ends that way, versus hoping Coke develops a better system for all it does that truly benefits the environment, its customers and its employees.

As a Vietnamese, I can say Coke indeed has become a part of people's lives. After the US removed the banning, Coke came right back in 94. They had a joint venture with a state-owned company and built a huge factory just outside HCM city. As a kid, when ever I went pass by the factory, I always gasped at how big it was. And the product the Coke bottle itself was so cheap, it became a popular drink. I remember back then when my family were visiting hometown, I frowned all the way because you know kids. One of my uncles brought me uptown and bought me a bottle of Coke. The bottle was cheap (should be around $0.4). But he was really poor (he was a farmer and hardly made money back then) yet he still spent some to cheer up his nephew. And indeed a cold coke bottle in a sunny afternoon really lit me up. Sadly he passed away just a couple years later so I couldn't buy him back something. These days I don't drink Coke as much (mostly energy drinks now). But once in a while I come back for a Classic Taste bottle just to reminisce the old days. As you said in the video. They don't sell you a drink. They sell you happy memories.

Back in the 70's while spending a tour of duty in Vietnam Coke Acola was found to be a big product over there, even the vietnamese would acquire it and sell it cold to the Gi's. Coke was the largest supplier fallowed by Pepsi. In the storage areas it was stacked over ten feet high X twenty or more feet long rolls X twenty feet deep where I was stationed. War was always good for Coke Acola. If I recall rightly it was even out there in WW2, at least the ad's in the states were supporting Coke.

For a brief moment, Pepsi had 17 submarines including a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer. So that's how they became the 6th most powerful fleet in the world.

I loved Coke. I was working a night shift and developed some stomach trouble. I was a young athlete, in great health. I went to the doctor and he asked me what I was doing during the course of my days and nights. Because he figured it must be something that I am eating that is irritating my stomach. When I told him that I drank a few Coke during my work shift when on a break. He told me to stop drinking the Coke for a month and see how I felt. I did that and the stomach pain and upset went away. I haven't drank Coke since the mid-eighties. Actually I haven't drank any pop or what is called cola since that time. I mainly just drink water but I have some tea, mostly herbal and maybe a coffee once or twice a week. I do have some freshly squeezed orange juice during the week and that's about it. I don't drink beer or spirits, I'm kind of a boring guy. But I do recommend people drop drinking Coke, it's addictive and it's bad for you. Same as those energy drinks. Look after yourselves.

You're really lucky. I drank coke from early childhood on, when other families visited their kids were allowed to drink coke which only happened once or twice a month for them. These kids were almost out of their mind happy being allowed to drink one glass which was weird to me since coke was everything I drank besides coffee. Coffe was the other addiction in my life from early childhood, I still remember how much I begged my mom to let me drink coffee until she finally caved in and let me have some with a lot of milk on top. From that day on every morning I had coffee for breakfast which lead to some serious situations on school trips when youth hostels were only serving pure tap water and rhubarb or rose hip tea - I'd have rather licked a fresh dog turd than putting any of that in my mouth so teachers were very concerned of me getting dehydrated and they called home. From that day on I had to carry a written allowance to drink coffee on all school trips which lead to me having to always sit at the teachers table at breakfast.

The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”

Thus, the Santa we know is a Coca cola marketing creation. Furthermore, Coke gave instructions to the bottling company stating that the design must be such that even a drunk person at night must be able to recognise the bottle shape as being a Coke. That is why the glass bottle design was important. Tell me if you can recognise that shape blindfolded.

Honestly they've managed to stay ahead of any marketing laws and limitations and learn how to play around them for a century. If anything it's actually admirable of how creative they're with marketing. They're the best known brand in the world and all they sell is sugar water 😅

What a barren waste of genius, I just lament. With their ingenuous creativity, they could have made the world a far far better place. Gordon Gecko like "Greed is good!" mentality kills all.

As a very young boy 60 plus yeard ago I was visiting Granny in Newcastle with Mum .At lunchtime, Uncle, a plumber dropped in. He told me he was working at the local Coca-Cola factory installing new stainless steel tanks to replace the corroded concrete ones he'd installed a year before. I've never touched the stuff. .

4 cans a day on average for most of my life. Quit cold turkey last January and I've lost 30 lbs. I hit 260 and it scared me out of the addiction, not sure how but it did. Btw, after a few months, the very occasional coke I drank, (ok, not exactly cold turkey but dang near it) i noticed it started to taste like syrup. I littlerally don't like the taste anymore which makes no sense to me but thats how it is. If you have a coke addiction, I promise you can kick it if you just decide to do it. You can help by drinking iced tea with a little Orange Juice and that will help scratch the itch.

Ive never liked the taste of regular Coke. Its after taste is way too sugary and makes me gag. Sugar free however removed the after taste and makes it delicious for me. Tho sugar free Pepsi still wins over it for me. Tho im adicted. To it. I drink like 2 Cans a day now. And i cant get rid of it.

Since I quit soft drinks that only one I ever have any more is a fountain drink with ice in it if at all because it tasts so bad. They could water it down more and sell more of it but then you could just drink water which is better for you anyway NOT DIASANTI or whaterver the they sell or Nestlie sells. That's another subject but paying the same price for tap water is just the stupidest thing I've ever known a human being to do and I dont' EVER buy bottled water. WHAT a rip off !!!

I remember the New Coke fiasco, and it nearly sunk them. People started drinking other things instead, and would have never bought a Coke again if they hadn't switched back. A common joke for years after, whenever anyone ordered a Coke, was, "This isn't that New Coke crap is it?"

As someone who grew up during the "cola wars," and preferred Coca-Cola, let me state for the record that New Coke was truly terrible tasting: overly sweet, syrupy & flatter tasting. To this day I swear that "Classic Coke" was slightly sweeter than the true original Coke: more sugary and a little less bite. Nowadays, I drink 2L of water per day, and treat myself to an ice cold Coca-Cola once per month. Should be noted that here in California, "Mexican Coke" tastes much better and is widely preferred by those in the know; as real sugar cane is used instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Thank God I am now 2 years/8 months soda free. By just dropping my daily soda intake (8-10 cans a day of Coke/Cherry Pepsi) & changing my diet, I went from 309 lbs to 220 lbs in about eight months. I’ve always said I don’t know what is in soda, but to me, my soda addiction was like any other drug/alcohol addiction. Almost 3 years later, I STILL will have cravings & dreams about having just one soda. But I know I can’t. I have stopped drinking soda a few other times in my life for a few months here & there but would have “just one” & then within a month “one” a week was up to one an hour. Finally now I know I can never have “just one” and my waist/heart/teeth thank me for that every day! Great historical content!! To all in their soda struggle, I wish you success in breaking the habit!!

I remember seeing the Pepsi challenge in RI when I was young and noticed that the people doing it would not mark every time Coke was chosen over Pepsi. Made me wonder how many more places they were doing the same thing. After a bit I asked the people about it and they had mall security chase me off.

It’s funny how they were targeting kids to get hooked on the flavor and sugar, but then decide to take that away a several years later with new coke and all those kids “lost their childhood” and didn’t have that same flavor as when they were young
