Coca Cola

Classic red can

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink, dark brown and sweet, sold worldwide since the late 1800s.

Often shortened to Coke, it's among the most recognized brand names globally.

The drink defines its category—ordering a Coke sometimes means any cola.

We grabbed some Coca-Colas from the vending machine.
