Atlanta, as you may already know, is home to The Coca-Cola Company and the best soft drink in the World. Here, in the capital of Georgia, we have a museum called “The World of Coca-Cola”. In May 2007 the museum relocated from Underground to Downtown Atlanta. I’ve just recently visited the new location and really enjoyed it. The new World of Coca-Cola features lower and upper levels where guests can visit the various attractions such as the collection of Coca-Cola artifacts, vault of the secret formula, and display of a fully functioning bottling line; can watch 4D movie, pose for a picture with the the Coca-Cola Polar Bear (yeay!), and sample 64 products offered by The Coca-Cola Company worldwide.
If you travel to Atlanta, I highly recommend to add The World of Coca-Cola to your itinerary. It is fun for kids and adults.

Coca-Cola Sign
In the end of this post I’d like to share a photo from my archive (taken January 1, 2007). It is a famous Atlanta’s landmark- Coca-Cola neon sign. About five-story tall sign features a 10 meters (33 ft) diameter face with flashing and swirling neon lights. The “Coca-Cola” lettering is 3×9 meters (9×28 ft). The original sign was located at Margaret Mitchell Square for nearly 50 years (1932-1981). This sign was installed at Five Points near the location of a former World of Coca-Cola museum in 2003. Quite a piece of Atlanta’s history.

Woah! This is definitely something I’d be interested in visiting! I love all the Coca Cola designs! ^_^
Thanks, Jasmine! I am too a huge fan of The Coca-Cola Company, Classic drink, and its Advertising. I think Coca-Cola logo design is one of the best existing in the world. There is so much thoughtful art in every ad!
I’d definitely want to check this out next time in in Atlanta! I think I’d particularly like sampling products, I imagine they have some fun ones maybe not on the market yet?!

Yes, Jess, there is a counter where guests can try Coca-Cola’s new flavored water which is not in the stores yet. It was pretty good.
My favorite taste of all Cokes I tried that day is Coca-Cola’s “BIBO” drink from South Africa, not counting Coca-Cola Classic with 27g of sugar per a bottle ;)
That looks so cool! I love all those vintage Coke designs!

Thanks, Michelle! Yes, Coca-Cola has a great collection/history of designs. It should be studied as a separate subject in art colleges.

Thanks, Andrew. As promised, I try to keep posting photos from Atlanta :)
I got lucky with “that second photo” you like. It is a room where guests can rest on the Coca-Cola sofa and take pics… So, normally, it’s a very crowded room.
