Talk:Coca-Cola

Trying to make sense of this

I deleted the second sentence in this paragraph because it is too convoluted to be comprehensible:

In 1892, Candler set out to incorporate a second company; "The Coca-Cola Company" (the current corporation). When Candler had the earliest records of the "Coca-Cola Company" burned in 1910, the action was claimed to have been made during a move to new corporation offices around this time.

That deletion was reverted. Rather than deleting it again I put the call out for someone to figure out the intent and edit it to make sense.

Request to add paragraph describing new Coke product line based on recent announcement the company will launch cane sugar Coke in the United States after discussions with the Trump administration. The CEO made it clear the company will complement existing product lines rather than replace any. I believe it could make sense to put this information in the "21st Century" subsection.

USA references not made clear

The section of the the article named "Sugar replaced with high-fructose corn syrup" appears to refer to the USA, but doesn't state as such.

Sugar prices spiked in the 1970s because of Soviet demand/hoarding and possible futures contracts market manipulation. The Soviet Union was the largest producer of sugar at the time. In 1974 Coca-Cola switched over to high-fructose corn syrup because of the elevated prices.

I'm not sure if corn syrup has ever been used, for example, in Europe. Dartiss (talk) 10:39, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Add Share a Coke to advertising history

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am an employee of The Coca-Cola Company. I have also disclosed this affiliation on my user page. I am proposing this change rather than editing the article directly.

I would like to suggest adding a short paragraph about the "Share a Coke" campaign to the Advertising section. The section covers substantial Coca-Cola advertising history, but the campaign's introduction in 2011 and subsequent international expansion are not currently covered in comparable detail.

Proposed text:

In 2011, Coca-Cola launched the "Share a Coke" campaign in Australia, replacing the Coca-Cola logo on bottles and cans with popular personal names. The campaign subsequently expanded internationally, including to the United Kingdom in 2013. Coca-Cola relaunched the campaign globally in 2025, combining personalized packaging with QR-linked digital customization and sharing experiences.

• Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/coca-cola-share-a-coke-campaign-refresh-gen-z-digital-experiences/743648/

I have intentionally relied on independent marketing publications rather than The Coca-Cola Company's own account for the proposed text. I welcome changes to the wording by an uninvolved editor. ~~~~ Paulsim77 (talk) 14:57, 16 September 2026 (UTC)

Hey, @Paulsim77, you can make this easier for volunteers here by writing this with sources correctly formatted and inserted inline.

It looks to me like this info is already in the article? Valereee (talk) 18:28, 16 September 2026 (UTC)
