Coke Cherry 2011

Coca-Cola Cherry, originally introduced (and still known in some countries) as Cherry Coke and informally known as Chola, is a cherry-flavored version of Coca-Cola. It is produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company and its bottlers in the United States and some international markets.

Long before its official introduction in 1985, many diners and drugstore soda fountains dispensed an unofficial version of Cherry Coke by adding cherry-flavored syrup to the Coca-Cola mix; this drink is called cherry cola.
Coca-Cola tested Cherry Coke on an audience at the 1982 World's Fair. The drink then entered mainstream production in 1985. Cherry Coke, which by 2007 had been renamed Coca-Cola Cherry in the U.S. and some other countries, was the third variation of Coca-Cola at that time – the others being classic Coke and Diet Coke – and the first flavored Coke. It was released concurrently with the far less popular New Coke, and gained significant market share when that product was discontinued in 1992. Diet Cherry Coke was introduced in 1986, and renamed "Diet Coke Cherry" in 2005. A second low-calorie version, Coca-Cola Cherry Zero (based on Coca-Cola Zero), was added in 2007.
The Coca-Cola Company would later introduce other flavored Coke variants, beginning with Vanilla Coke in May 2002, later followed by lime, raspberry, lemon, Black Cherry Vanilla and orange variants. Many of these are currently only sold in overseas markets or are microdispensed through Coca-Cola's Freestyle vending machines.
In the summer of 2008, Coca-Cola Cherry was named "The Official Drink of Indiana University's Bloomington campus."

Coke from Cathy

The history of Coca-Cola is a story of special moments -- times with family and friends and special occasions when Coke was naturally there. Every person who drinks a Coca-Cola enjoys a moment of refreshment -- and shares in an experience that millions of others have savored. And all of those individual experiences combined have created a worldwide phenomenon - a truly global brand that plays its own small part on the world stage.

Did you know that Coca-Cola advertising helped create the modern image of Santa Claus? Or that Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth both painted for Coca-Cola, creating a beloved vision of mid-century American life? You might remember the 1971 television commercial in which young people gathered on a hilltop in Italy to sing "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke," a counterpoint to turbulent times. Were you watching TV in July 1985 when Coca-Cola was the first soft drink consumed in space? Or maybe you saw the international exhibit of oversized Coke bottles, some more than 10 feet tall, featuring the folk art of more than 70 countries.

There are so many stories to tell about Coca-Cola. We hope you'll enjoy these glimpses into some of the legends and lore that surround Coca-Cola -- what we call "Coke Lore."

Colt Black Cherry

The Cott Corporation (TSX: BCB NYSE: COT) is a leading supplier of private label carbonated soft drinks distributing to Canada, the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Europe. In addition to producing many private-label beverages for retailers, Cott also has a large and growing portfolio of its own brands. These brands include Cott, RC (excluding North America, where it is part of Dr Pepper Snapple Group), Ben Shaws, Stars & Stripes, Vintage and Vess soft drinks. Recently, Cott has been expanding its product line into ready-to-drink teas, sparkling and flavoured waters, sports and energy drinks, juice drinks and smoothies. These newer Cott brands include Orient Emporium, GL-7, Red Rain Energy and After Shock Energy.

The history of Cott goes back to 1923, when Cott Beverage Corporation was founded by Solomon Cott, a Polish immigrant, and his son Harry, in Port Chester, New York. Harry Pencer, a clothier from Montreal, Canada, began to import Cott sodas into Quebec, Canada, in 1952. In 1955 Pencer acquired the Canadian rights to the Cott label and established Cott Beverages (Canada) Ltd., to bottle the Cott line of sodas. From 1976 to 1991, Cott expanded its distribution throughout Canada and back into the United States and into Europe. During the 1960s and 1970s, labels for its products were printed with the punning slogan "It's Cott to be good". Vess Beverage assets and its division, Vess Specialty Packaging Company, was purchased in 1994.[4] In 1969, the name was changed to Cott Beverages Ltd., and in 1991 to Cott Corporation.
From 1992 to 1996, Cott was headed by Heather Reisman, founder of Indigo Books & Music.
In October 2000, Concord Beverages, with its Vintage brand seltzer water, was acquired from Honickman Group. In April 2007, Cott was said to be considering a bid for Cadbury Schweppes soft drinks business. In 2007, in conjunction with the premiere of the The Simpsons Movie, Cott partnered with 7-Eleven to produce "Buzz Cola", a fictional soda found in the The Simpsons television series. In late February 2008, Cott was served notice by its key customer, Wal-Mart, that shelf space for some soft drinks made by Cott for the world's largest retailer would be cut back. Nearly a year later in January 2009, Wal-Mart informed Cott it was terminating a 10-year-old pact under which Cott had been supplying the company with store-branded soft drinks.
In July 2010, Cott announced its acquisition of Cliffstar Corporation, a U.S. supplier of store-branded beverages.

Dr Pepper Cherry 2012

The football-throwing abilities of a dental student from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) are helping him make a big dent in his tuition.

Casey Vidovich, a first-year dental student, won $123,000 through the Dr Pepper Million Dollar Tuition Giveaway. The contest took place on December 4 during the halftime show at the Virginia Tech-Florida State Atlantic Coast Conference game.

With about 70,000 fans in the stands watching, Vidovich threw nine of 10 footballs into a 2-ft-diameter Dr Pepper can to beat his opponent.

A UNLV student with a penchant for Dr Pepper won more than $100,000 in scholarship money from the soda company last month.

Casey Vidovich, a first-year dental student from Placentia, Calif., won $123,000 from the Dr Pepper Million Dollar Tuition Giveaway on Dec. 4 during the halftime show at the Virginia Tech-Florida State Atlantic Coast Conference game in Charlotte, N.C.

With about 70,000 fans in the stands watching, Vidovich threw nine of 10 footballs into a 2-foot-diameter Dr Pepper can to beat his opponent.

Despite the finger-numbing, cold weather, “I was super excited,” Vidovich said. “Once I knew I won, I started jumping up and down… it was an amazing experience.”

Vidovich, 23, learned of the contest from his mother, who encouraged him to submit a one-minute video that mentioned Dr Pepper and why he wanted to win the scholarship.

“My mom and I are always looking for ways to pay for my classes,” he said. “I put (the video) off for a few weeks, but then decided to give it a shot.”

It took Vidovich about 30 minutes to film and edit the video on his laptop with a built-in webcam. The idea for his submission, which described the parts of the brain that become stimulated while drinking Dr Pepper, came to Vidovich while studying for his neuro-anatomy exam the following day.

“I just thought it would be original,” he said. “It worked out pretty well.” (He also passed his exam.)

Within a week of submitting his entry on Oct. 15, a Dr Pepper representative called Vidovich with some sweet news.

“I started freaking out,” said Vidovich, who started drinking the soda when he was 4 years old. “I couldn’t believe it. It was crazy.”

Vidovich and his father flew to Charlotte on an all-expenses-paid trip courtesy of Dr Pepper to compete against four other student finalists from around the country for the scholarship money, which will cover about half of the tuition needed to complete the four-year dental program at UNLV.

“The scholarship will really help… It really reduces my stress,” Vidovich said. “I can graduate with a much lower debt. It means a ton to me.”

“I want to serve the community,” he said of his field of study. “Alleviate pain, do cosmetic procedures to make people more confident.”

When asked whether he plans to encourage his future patients to avoid sugary sodas like Dr Pepper, Vidovich replied after a long pause.

“As long as you practice good oral hygiene, you should be fine,” he said. “That’s why you go to the dentist.”

Royal Tru Orange 2012

Royal Tru-Orange is a carbonated fruit drink brand owned by the Coca-Cola Company that is only available in the Philippines. It also uses the same styling as its Coca-Cola global cousin Fanta. It was introduced in the 1922 by the San Miguel Brewery as their first non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage and it was primarily called as Royal Tru-Orange due to its original flavor, while other variants like Royal Tru-Dalandan, Royal Tru-Grape, and Royal Tru-Orange Light were introduced in 2003.

Royal Tru-Orange was first introduced in the 1922 by the San Miguel Brewery as their first non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage. However, it became popular since the beverage targeted teenagers as its consumers. It was available in single-serve bottles and contained orange pulp bits. Royal Tru-Orange was also one of the pioneering teams of Philippine Basketball Association in 1975. It is the only remaining pioneering franchise in the league, although it is carrying the San Miguel Beer brand as of 2008.
Royal Tru-Orange has gained much attention in the late 1980s, after its logo and formulation (without the orange pulp bits) were changed, through an advertising campaign that starred teen model RJ Ledesma playing the role of Joey. The first television advertisement in the series, wherein Joey was being egged on by friends to introduce himself to a girl named Jenny, was directed by noted film director Lino Brocka.

Red Bull from Dennis Dayao

Red Bull is an energy drink sold by the Austrian Red Bull GmbH, created in 1987 by the Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz. In terms of market share, Red Bull is the most popular energy drink in the world, with 3 billion cans sold each year. Dietrich Mateschitz was inspired by an already existing drink called Krating Daeng which he discovered in Thailand. He took this idea, and to suit the tastes of Westerners, modified the ingredients, and founded Austrian Red Bull GmbH in partnership with Chaleo Yoovidhya. Chaleo Yoovidhya invented the Thai energy drink Krating Daeng; in Thai daeng is red, and krating is the reddish brown bovine, gaur, an animal slightly larger than the bison. Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can. Krating Daeng is sold in Thailand and in some parts of Asia in a wider gold can with the name of Krating Daeng or Red Bull Classic. Both are different products produced separately.
Their slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings" and the product is marketed through advertising, tournament sponsorship (Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice), sports team ownerships (Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso, EC Red Bull Salzburg, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Red Bull New York, RB Leipzig, Red Bull Brasil), celebrity endorsements, and with its record label, Red Bull Records, music. In 2009 it was discovered that Red Bull Cola exported from Austria contained trace amounts of cocaine. Red Bull has also been the target of criticism concerning the possible health risks associated with the drink.

Red Bull took many marketing and ingredient ideas from an energy drink in Thailand called Krating Daeng. Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur, developed the Red Bull Energy Drink brand. Mateschitz was the international marketing director for Blendax, a toothpaste company, when he visited Thailand in 1982 and discovered that Krating Daeng helped to cure his jet lag. Between 1984 and 1987, Mateschitz worked with TCBG Pharmaceutical (a Blendax licensee) to adapt Krating Daeng for the European market.
At the same time Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya founded Red Bull GmbH; each investing $500,000 of savings, giving it to Ieuan Griffiths and taking a stake in the new company. Chaleo and Dietrich each held a 49% share of the new company. They gave the remaining 2% to Chaleo's son Chalerm, but it was agreed that Mateschitz would run the company. The product was launched in 1987 in Austria, in a carbonated format.
In 1989, the product was expanded to its first international markets, Hungary and Slovenia. It entered the United States market (via California) in 1997 and the Middle East in 2000. In 2008, Forbes magazine listed both Chaleo and Mateschitz as being the 260th richest persons in the world with an estimated net worth of $5.0 billion.

Dole Singles Unsweetened

Dole Food Company, Inc. (NYSE: DOLE) is an American-based agricultural multinational corporation headquartered in Westlake Village, California. The company is the largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world, operating with 74,300 full-time and seasonal employees who are responsible for over 300 products in 90 countries. Dole markets such food items as bananas, pineapples (fresh and packaged), grapes, strawberries, salads, and other fresh and frozen fruits and juices.
Dole's Chairman founded the Dole Nutrition Institute, a nutritional research and education foundation.

The company traces its origin to the 1851 establishment of Castle & Cooke by missionaries Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke. Castle & Cooke rapidly became one of the largest companies in Hawaii, investing in shipping, railroad construction, sugar production, and seafood packing. The other half of Dole's corporate heritage, the Hawaiian Pineapple Company, was founded in 1901 by James Dole, who opened his first pineapple plantation in the central plateau of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Sanford Dole, the cousin of James, had been president of the Republic of Hawaii from 1894 after the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii (her last monarch, Queen Liliʻuokalani), and first governor of the Territory of Hawaii until 1903. The annexation of Hawaii to the United States made selling agricultural products to the mainland much more profitable, since they would never be subject to import tariffs.
In 1932 Castle & Cooke purchased a 21% interest in the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. In the 1960s Castle & Cooke acquired the remainder of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company and the Standard Fruit Company and renamed the company "The Dole Food Company, Inc" in 1991. Castle & Cook also owned Bumble Bee Foods from 1961 to 1985.
It was then the second largest producer and U.S. importer of bananas. Dole and Chiquita remain the top two U.S. banana companies as of 2011.
In 2010, the company had about $6.8 billion in annual revenue. It is a publicly traded company on the NYSE (DOLE).
Castle & Cooke Inc, a real estate company, was spun off in 1995; it is currently a separate company but is also owned by Murdock.
Dole operates plantations throughout Central and South America, and in the Asia-Pacific region, with plantations in the Philippines and two packing plants in Thailand (Hua Hin and Chumphon). PepsiCo distributes Dole's Single Serving Juices.

Carlsberg

The Carlsberg Group is a Danish brewing company founded in 1847 by J. C. Jacobsen after the name of his son Carl. The headquarters are in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company's main brand is Carlsberg Beer, but it also brews Tuborg as well as local beers. After merging with the brewery assets of Norwegian conglomerate Orkla ASA in January 2001, Carlsberg became the 5th largest brewery group in the world. It is considered to be the leading beer seller in Russia with about 40 percent market share. In 2009 Carlsberg is the 4th largest brewery group in the world employing around 45,000 people.

Carlsberg was founded by J. C. Jacobsen; the first brew was finished on 10 November 1847. Export of Carlsberg beer began in 1868; foreign brewing began in 1968 with the opening of a Carlsberg brewery in Blantyre, Malawi. Some of the company's original logos include an elephant (after which some of its lagers are named) and the swastika. Use of the latter was discontinued in the 1930s because of its association with political parties in neighboring Germany. Carlsberg founder J. C. Jacobsen was a philanthropist and avid art collector. With his fortune he amassed an impressive art collection which is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in central Copenhagen.
Jacobsen set up the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1875 which worked on scientific problems related to brewing. It featured a Department of Chemistry and a Department of Physiology. The species of yeast used to make pale lager, Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, was isolated at the Laboratory and was named after it. The concept of pH was developed there as well as advances in protein chemistry. The laboratory was part of the Carlsberg Foundation until 1972 when it was renamed the Carlsberg Research Center and transferred to the brewery.
The old brewery in Copenhagen is open for tours and famous visitors have included Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II.
Carlsberg acquired Tuborg breweries in 1970 and merged with Tetley in 1992.
In 2008, Carlsberg, together with Heineken, bought Scottish & Newcastle, the largest brewer in the United Kingdom, for GBP7.8bn (US$15.3bn)
