It's hot in these areas and water is questionable sometimes; but coca cola is always a nice refreshing drink on a hot day! I waited a little long but it is going North IMO.

I think this stock will always do very well. Coke has been around for so long!! It is has done nothing but move forward and multiply all over the world. If you go to a foregn country, you know that everyone knows what "Coke" is. Coke is now manufacturing (and has been for a little while) water, and other sources of "healthy" beverages. With the way people are looking for easier and healthier choices, Coke is there to meet their needs.
