It was 1886 when in New York Harbour workers were
constructing the statue of Liberty. Eight hundred miles
away, another great American symbol was about to be
created
-
Coca-Cola.
Like many people who change history, the Atlanta
pharmacist John Pemberton was inspired by simple
curiosity. There are now just two countries in the world
where Coca-Cola cannot be bought or sold, at least not
officially. They are Cuba and North Korea, which are
both under long-term
US trade embargoes (Cuba since 1962 and North Korea
since 1950).
There is a strong possibility that you would now like to
hear the whole story of Coca-Cola
and want to walk through the production halls to get a
look behind the scenery. Coca-Cola offers us an English
guided tour of about 2 hours, free for members, guests
pay CHF 5.00. Register as soon as possible with Sonja by
phone
044 302 45 47
because space is limited. Buy a return ticket to Dietlikon
(NOT Dietikon) and meet Sonja in front of track 14 at
main station. When you register, please leave your
full name and phone number in a clear voice. Very important! Coca-Cola has very strict regulations for guided tours: No sick persons, nobody with cough, running nose, wounds or diarrhoea. All of us have to take off our watches and all pieces of jewellery. |
