Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by The Coca-Cola Company. Originally intended as a patent medicine, it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton and was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coca-Cola to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The drink’s name refers to two of its original ingredients: coca leaves, and kola nuts (a source of caffeine). The current formula of Coca-Cola remains a trade secret, although a variety of reported recipes and experimental recreations have been published.

Workers Beware: Forced Arbitration Can Happen To You
Debra Gragston started working for Coca-Cola in 2000. In 2014, she filed a claim in federal court alleging race and gender discrimination. Relying on a training held years earlier in which the company explained their dispute resolution process, Coca-Cola moved to compel arbitration. Ms. Gragston argued that mere attendance at a company meeting did not constitute an agreement to waive her Constitutional right to go to court. The judge disagreed, and her claims were forced out of the public forum. Gragston v. Coca-Cola Refreshments
