L'entreprise possède plus de 500 marques et distribue plus de 3 500 produits différents, dans plus de 200 pays. Cela inclut non seulement des sodas, mais aussi des eaux, des jus, des thés, des cafés, des boissons énergétiques, des laits aromatisés, et même des produits locaux spécifiques à certaines cultures ou régions.Par exemple, en Inde, Coca-Cola vend Maaza, une boisson à la mangue. Au Japon, on trouve Ayataka, un thé vert glacé. Au Mexique, on peut boire du Del Valle, un jus de fruit populaire. Aux États-Unis, la marque commercialise aussi Vitaminwater, Minute Maid, ou encore Fresca.Pourquoi 9 ans ?L'affirmation selon laquelle il faudrait 9 ans pour tout goûter repose sur un calcul simple : si vous testiez un nouveau produit Coca-Cola chaque jour, il vous faudrait près de 10 ans pour venir à bout de tous.3 500 produits ÷ 365 jours = environ 9,6 ansMais attention : cela suppose qu'on ait accès à tous ces produits… ce qui est quasiment impossible, car certains ne sont disponibles que dans un seul pays, ou même dans une seule région. Autrement dit, il faudrait aussi faire le tour du monde pour les goûter tous !Une stratégie de diversificationCette incroyable variété n'est pas un hasard : elle fait partie de la stratégie de Coca-Cola pour s'adapter aux goûts locaux, aux réglementations alimentaires, et aux tendances de consommation. Dans certains pays, les boissons sont moins sucrées, parfois sans caféine, parfois enrichies en vitamines, ou encore aux arômes totalement inconnus ailleurs.Coca-Cola investit aussi beaucoup dans l'innovation, lançant chaque année des dizaines de nouvelles saveurs ou formats, testés parfois sur des marchés spécifiques avant d'être élargis. Le dernier produit mis sur le marché par Coca-Cola est le Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola Cherry, une boisson alcoolisée en canette de 330 ml, combinant le célèbre whisky Jack Daniel's et le Coca-Cola Cherry. Cette nouvelle saveur a été lancée au Royaume-Uni en avril 2025, en collaboration avec Jack Daniel's, et est disponible dans les supermarchés Tesco... Hébergé par Acast.

Bible Reading: Psalms 17:6-7; 18:1-2; Matthew 19:14Twelve-year-old Scarlett was so excited about helping her mom in the twos' and threes' Sunday school class. Eagerly standing by the classroom door, Scarlett watched for the little ones to come.Most of the children came in with smiles on their faces. However, not all of them had such an easy time. Missing her mom, little Maaza cried and cried long after her mother had gone into church, staying stiff as a log in Scarlett's arms. After a while, Scarlett gently put the little girl down and offered her a toy. Now only sniffling, Maaza angrily turned away and refused to play for most of Sunday school. A little later, Myles, a toddler Scarlett often played with, arrived. He cried and cried, but instead of going stiff in Scarlett's arms, he wrapped his arms around her neck as she rocked him back and forth. After a few minutes, he was ready to play with his favorite toy truck, and soon after that he began to play with the other children."So, are you enjoying working in children's church?" Scarlett's mom asked her later that afternoon. "Yes, I like it a lot," Scarlett said. "The kids are so cute! I love playing with them and telling them about Jesus during Bible time." Mom smiled. "You know, as much as God uses us to teach children about Him, I'm amazed at how much they teach me about my relationship with God. Often I'm like how Maaza was today. When I'm sad, afraid, or confused, I turn away from God, much like how she hurried away from you. I forget that God shows His love for us by comforting us in our distress. Jesus saved us from our sins so that He could be with us every moment of every day. The Bible uses words like 'shelter' and 'stronghold' and 'refuge' to say that God cares for us and promises to be a safe place for us.""That means we should be more like Myles, shouldn't we?" asked Scarlett.Mom nodded. "He knew he could trust us as his teachers, and he clung to you and cried when he was scared about coming to Sunday school. Then he was able to enjoy all we had planned for him. If we trust God and come to Him when we're sad or afraid, we can experience the peace He promises."–Aurora ScriverHow About You?Do you ever have trouble trusting God when you feel sad or upset? Do you run away from Him when things get difficult or scary? Remember that God is faithful and promises to be with you through every difficulty you face. He wants to comfort you so you can experience His peace, rest, and joy. Go to Him when you feel sad or afraid, and He will be your safe place.Today's Key Verse:How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. (NLT) (Psalm 36:7)Today's Key Thought:Let God comfort you

“We all create this idea that we're OTHER, rather than, ‘our experiences may be other, but, actually, our emotions are identical.'” - Gidai Maaza Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Gidai Maaza. Gidai is a son, father, husband, and community member. Having survived the refugee camp experience with his mother by way of Ethiopia in the early 80s, Gidai turned his trauma into awareness and insight that inform how he views people's pain. Now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, we're excited for you to see how Gidai has reimagined the mask analogy into a framework that helps him stay grounded and connected to all of humanity. (8:15) Gidai introduces himself, his Ethiopian roots, his work in the mental health field, and his ties to Fresno, California. Then, he and Ashanti compare group work to one on one support and therapy. (14:35) Gidai why he believes there is no front and back of the mask, but rather two halves of the same whole. His “kid part” - a 2-year-old boy who's observant, quiet, and comes from survival; 10-year-old boy in transition; and a 16-year-old boy that is angry. His “41-year-old part” - wise, grounded, emotionally present, rational, spirited. (22:55) In response to Gidai, Ashanti changes his mask and reflects on equanimity. Then, he reflects on all the years he's spent stuffing his thoughts and emotions, and how this stuffing eventually comes due. (26:55) Ashanti describes his 15-year-old self and his 7-year-old self, and how these places in life were pivotal in shaping who he became and how he interacted with his teachers. (35:15) Gidai explains how our experiences may be different but our emotions are identical. (38:05) Gidai breaks down acknowledging and guiding one's emotions and feelings as opposed to catering to them. (42:40) Ashanti and Gidai compare and contrast the experiences of Africans and African Americans. (49:45) Ashanti and Gidai conclude their conversation and reflect on all of the things they've covered. (55:45) Gidai shares how you can get in touch with him. --- Connect with Gidai Maaza: Instagram: instagram.com/gmaazalmft Facebook: facebook.com/GidaiMaazaLMFT --- Support the podcast and the work of the Ever Forward Club: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/support Create your own mask anonymously at millionmask.org If you are interested in being on the Face to Face podcast, email us at everforwardclub@gmail.com --- Connect with Ashanti Branch: Instagram: instagram.com/branchspeaks Facebook: facebook.com/BranchSpeaks Twitter: twitter.com/BranchSpeaks LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch Website: branchspeaks.com --- Send in a voice message: anchor.fm/branch-speaks/message --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/branch-speaks/support

The impending ban on single-use plastic will deal a death blow to the humble straws from July 1. And it has left FMCG companies selling small packs of juices and dairy products in a tizzy. With just a week to go for the ban to come into effect, intense lobbying is still underway by some stakeholders to get the deadline extended.  Every year, six billion small packs between sizes of 75-250 ml with juice, milk, coffee, buttermilk, lassi and other beverages are sold with plastic straws attached to them, a market that's estimated to be worth Rs 6,000 crore.  Such integrated plastic straws account for just 0.05% of the total single use plastic in terms of volumes. Yet, the stark reality is that plastic straws take up to 200 years to decompose, and they break into smaller plastics and can be ingested in marine life. In contrast, paper straws decompose within two to six weeks. The companies that are impacted most are the big ones like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Parle Agro and Dabur India. Their concern is that India does not produce the required paper straws. Action Alliance for Recycling Beverage Cartons or AARC, an industry group that represents some of the major beverage producers, had demanded that plastic straws be exempted from the ban on single-use plastics from next month but changed its stance in May. Still, it sought an extension of 18 months for the transition. Most consumers are familiar with the experience of using paper straws for cold coffees and milk shakes. They become soggy even before the drink is over. So making resilient paper straws of smaller diameters is another challenge.  Companies are compelled to import paper straws, which are four to seven times more expensive than their food-grade plastic counterparts. Frooti and Appy maker Parle Agro's CEO Schauna Chauhan said that extending the deadline by six months was “critical” for developing local manufacturing capacities. While the company has started importing paper straws for now, she said it's an unsustainable option and the “economics just does not match up for a Rs 10 product”. She said that 80% of integrated straws are recycled, and countries like China and Thailand have allowed their use. Chauhan further said it was not clear what would happen to the current stocks if the ban was enforced. Dairy giant Amul, which clocked sales of Rs 61,000 crore in FY22, also urged the government to delay the ban by one year saying the move will have a “negative impact” on farmers and milk consumption, while also warning of sales disruption. Citing global capacity constraints and logistical drawbacks, Parle Agro warned that that the industry might have to close factory operations if the deadline is not extended. There is a global shortage of paper straws. Only China, Indonesia and some European countries make paper straws and India comes low on their priority list. And for those who are trying to import machines to make paper straws locally, it is a one-year wait. The CEO of Action Alliance for Recycling Beverage Cartons (AARC), Praveen Aggarwal, estimates that imports can meet only 25% of the country's demand by this year's end. Can companies choose to ship the products without a straw or change the packaging to spout pouches instead? AARC's Aggarwal says there is going to be massive disruption if deadline isn't extended. He says, changing packaging design is a time-consuming and costly process. Shipping products without straw compromises hygiene.  Environmentalists on the other hand argue that ample time has been given to the industry to find the appropriate substitutes for plastic straws. The phasing out of these straws was initially notified by the Central Pollution Control Board way back in 2018, fixing 2020 as the deadline for doing so. The present deadline of July 1 was set almost a year ago in August 2021. Compostable straws made of paper and corn starch-based polylactic acid are now being commonly used in ma

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, The Shadow King is a powerful, poetic book about women soldiers during the Italian Ethiopian war of 1935, the first main conflict of World War II. Drawing on the life of Maaza's own grandmother, it tells the story of Hirut, whose daring plan saves morale when Emperor Selassie goes into exile, only to end up a prisoner of one of Italy's most brutal officers. A captivating study of female power with an indelible, inspirational heroine at its heart. Chaired by Linda Jaivin

Sometimes things are just not quite like they're supposed to be. Sometimes a clerical error sends someone into the afterlife early or a person being in the right place at the wrong time finds that their life isn't as perfect as they had assumed. A perfect little street can hold secrets and someone can think they're right where they're supposed to be and could not be more wrong. Occasionally, wars don't happen where you think they might and don't go how you expect them to. Listen in for all these, plus Murderbots!

Maaza Mengiste is one of the FT's Women of the Year, and the author of the epic historical novel The Shadow King. Her book, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, is about the Italian invasion of Ethiopia at the start of WWII. It asks massive questions about how history is remembered, recorded and retold. Maaza and Lilah talk about collective memory, women warriors, decolonising the archives, why there's still no Covid fiction, and how we can help future us tell the story of 2020. This one is full of wisdom. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll take notes.Plus: Alice Fishburn, editor of FT Weekend Magazine, drops by to discuss the novel, our Women of the Year issue, and what it's like to commission in a pandemic.What do you think is possible now, that seemed impossible before?

Hello Everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Episode 4 of Semiscribbled Podcast. In this podcast, I review The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste. This was an excellent but dense read and my trying to pull another marathon read made it hectic. I still really loved reading this book although I also listened to a majority of it via audiobook. The audiobook definitely helped with the pronunciation of names and the voicing of characters as Maaza tends not to use quotation marks in her work, don't worry you won't get lost! I speak about the role of women in the 1935 War in Ethiopia, how we classify our heroes and heroines and why being human means having duality, all aspects that came out in this really great book. I end my review by asking a few questions that popped out to me while reading this. Sorry about how raspy I sound in this episode I was coming down with something. I listened to part of The Shadow King via audible but this is not a sponsored episode! Project3541 is an online archive of photos & memories from the Italian-Ethiopian war. Project 3541 includes images from the private collection of Maaza Mengiste, whose novel, The Shadow King, tells the story of this war and those who lived through it. Please follow us on twitter and instagram (both @podcast_semi) we'd love to engage with you. ________________ Song Credits: Artist: RAGE Title: American Vernacular Free Download: https://bit.ly/2xrIcVF Available via: YoutubeStudio

On episode 095 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by writer Maaza Mengiste. Maaza was in Switzerland until recently and she talks with Paul about how that shaped her experience of the early months of the pandemic. Their conversation then turns to the relationship between fiction and history, with Maaza offering her insights into how writing and justice are intertwined. Paul and Maaza go on to talk about the poetry that has been keeping them company lately and about Maaza’s Project 3541, an archive of historical photographs from the Italo-Ethiopian War. Their conversation offers a thoughtful insight into Maaza’s perspective on history, power, and the role of writing in this moment.

Maaza Mengiste is an Ethiopian-born American novelist whose lyrical, gripping and compelling books, The Shadow King and Beneath the Lion’s Gaze have been greeted with high praise and critical acclaim. Giving resonant voice to women and men caught up in the ravages of colonialism and war but also uplifted by hope and desire, Mengiste plumbs the archival depths to weave tales that imagine anew our entangled pasts and envision a shared future for our global age. Maaza’s fiction and nonfiction examines the individual lives at stake during migration, war, and exile, and considers the intersections of photography, memory, and violence.  /////////////// Follow us: TWITTER - @ulibaer / @corklinedRoom INSTAGRAM - @ulinyc / @carolineweber2020 (THE PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE) - @proust.questionnaire MAAZA MENGISTE - @maazamengiste //////////////// Listen to the Podcast on: APPLE PODCASTS - Proust Questionnaire Podcast SPOTIFY - Proust Questionnaire Podcast YOUTUBE: Ulrich Baer  //////////////// Thanks for listening! :) Uli Baer & Caroline Weber.

Whether it is the Maaza ad with Katrina having her "moment" with mangoes, or it is frooti being the drink of choice for all kids, we as a country are obsessed with mangoes. Now a days, even though Indian stories abroad have started carrying the Indian variety of mangoes, there is really no experience like the mango season back home.
