The Pepsi Challenge
In the early 1980’s Coca-Cola began an epic battle with Pepsi. The Pepsi Challenge was all too real. Coke conducted its own taste tests and the order was given to change Coke’s 99-year old formula – resulting in one of the great blunders in American business.

Bottlers
The bottlers do something the Coca-Cola company doesn’t do: make Coca-Cola. Not only do bottlers make the soda and deliver all those bottles and cans...They also distribute most of Coke's entire line of beverages, stock and maintain everything at each outlet.
