Soft drinks have become ubiquitous around the world. Everywhere you go, you are more likely than not going to see them being sold at stores, food carts and roadside stands.
It all allegedly started with sherbet in the Middle East. Today, Coca Cola has over 3000 different soft drinks it markets around the world.
With the propersonalration of carbonated beverages, some truly odd flavors have been released. Among these are kimchi cola, colas expressing nationalist sentiments, and the usual strange entries in the field from Japan. These drinks can also shed some light upon the local flavors.
For the past few years, there has been a debate within the U.S. as to whether American Coke or Mexican Coke is better.
Whatever your thoughts, this flavored water has certainly come a long way.
