NOV. 11, 2022: Have you ever been to the World of Coca-Cola? Well, it is a very red museum of coke memorabilia that’s in Atlanta Georgia. It's a fun and family-friendly experience for all.

At the entrance, you’ll meet with a well-dressed representative of Coke who asks you how many Coke brands there are—which actually turns out to be a lot more than you think. After that, you go to a room full of Coke memorabilia from all over the world and different time periods. 

In this room, you get to play a fun trivia game to really test your memory of Coca-Cola products. Surprisingly, if you didn’t know, Coca Cola has been around for over 100 years! The way you’re able to buy the product has varied overtime. There were so many items that were so fascinating to see and learn about. Luckily, and to our surprise, the main attraction there was a tasting room with a variety of drinks!

There were brands from Sprite, Coca-Cola, Fanta, Gatorade and even Hi-C. This tasting room had everything that catered to everyone’s own specific liking. To try everything, all you had to do was grab a cup and pour yourself any flavor, and all of them were delicious. If you love Coca-Cola, then you’re in luck, because you’ll find almost every flavor of Coke, plus some you didn’t even know existed. Also, in the tasting area, there was a gift shop with everyday items branded with the Coca-Cola name on them for true Coke lovers. The line was really long because everyone wanted a souvenir. 

Overall, the World of Coca-Cola was a great museum and a guaranteed fun time. Next time you’re in Atlanta, make sure to check it out!
