Quintessencial Soft Drink


Its a sweltering day, the sun beats mercilessly down upon the pavement sending heat waves swaying at ground level. The grass looks bent and dry, a sea of wilted flora that stretches on and on. Your sweat slowly rolls down your cheek and lands with an inaudiable splash on your shirt. Your hand makes its move towards the cooler, seeking salvation from this heat. It slowly reaches in and pulls out a red twelve ounce can out. Working together, your hands open the can with a pop and a small sizzle. Anticipation is hard to keep back. Finally, your hands help pour the carbonated sweet syrup down your throat; its cool, crisp, refreshing, and tart taste lingers in you mouth as the sweet nectar cascades down your throat. Coca-Cola.

Coca-Cola is the quintessencial soft drink not only from its national and international sales proof, but from its taste and blend of carbonation and sweet sugar. Not only does the sugar and caffeine add body to the taste of the drink, but its also there to give you that extra boost of energy during a long day, or keep you awake on those long nights of school work. It is also the perfect combination with another American classic, the Cheeseburger (with fries). Coming in a variety of different flavors now, like lime, vanilla, diet, cherry, and more, Coca-Cola has become more than just the same old thing. For generations to come, surely, Coca-Cola is here to stay.
