In March of this year, we were able to visit the Coca Cola bottling plant in Denver, CO. We went with a group of fellow homeschoolers, and then went to the park for lunch afterwards. We were able to see their warehouse where they fulfill orders from their distributors, their recycling facility where they take care of the outdated or damaged products and then recycle the packaging (cans & bottles), their production lines, and their quality control lab. We did not, however, get to find out exactly what is in the Coke recipe. Apparently, they receive the syrup already ready to go, all they have to do is add water and carbonation. I was very impressed at the cleanliness of the whole facility. I suppose that they have to keep it that way, but still, for a plant that manufactures lots of sticky substances, it was amazingly clean. And the best part, according to Hayleigh, was the end, because we each receive our own bottle of Coke to take with us. She drank the whole thing all by herself, and then wanted to know when we could go back so she could get another one!
