Coca Cola 2012 Calendar. The Coca-Cola Company Limited is one of the most instantly recognisable brands in the world - and can be purchased in more than 200 countries. First registered in 1944, the drink was originally intended as a patent medicine but when Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler a change in marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market! This Coca Cola 2012 Calendar captures the essence and style of those classic early Coca Cola advertisements through 12 re-created illustrations which helped make the drink a world leader!
