A Giant Coca-Cola Man Celebrates The World Cup!
Since the Coca-Cola headquarters is about ten minutes away from my house, you can understand that here in Atlanta, Coke is tradition and a legacy all its own. When tourists come here, many times they visit The World of Coke. It's a very special place that is near and dear to us locals.
So, of c ...
