Everything Coca-Cola I have seen around the world was in Mexico

If there are people who have drinks in Mexico, about 7 of 10 people have Coca-Cola. The refrigerator and vending machine at the store are half Coca-Cola. Because it is a hot country, it seems that it is unsatisfactory in 2 liters, and 3 liters of Magnum size is regularly circulated. While I was running I could also visit the Coca-Cola factory that is bottling. Size, design, signboards, marketing ...... All of Coca-Cola we have seen around the world was in Mexico. Too much strength, the existence of Pepsi Cola also tends to haze.

If it cools up, it is just sugar water. That's why there are "local cola" around the world. However, many of them are cheaper than the Coca-Cola. The reason is the difference in brand power. It is better to sell higher if the cost is the same. For that purpose, Coca-Cola develops advertisements and strives to improve brand value around the world. In Japan, there were advertisements in places where many people such as airports and stations can see. Mexico is also filled with advertisements of Coca-Cola as well.
