One year, my sisters and I and a couple of friends stayed at a timeshare near Atlanta, Georgia. One of the places we visited was the World of Coca-Cola museum. We could have spent many hours there. One of the things to see was the bottling process. Another was large can-shaped booths where you could sit and listen to all of the radio commercials. Another area had large screens where you could watch all the TV commercials.

We went into a room that had an cafeteria-like area where you could taste the many flavors of Coke products. We then went into another room where you could taste Coke products made in countries other than the United States. It is such an interesting place that if I were ever in the area again, I would be sure to visit it again.
