Coca-Cola

The global drink

The task my class took on was to find out if students around

the world have the same reaction to Coke that we have
here in Gabu National High School. They wondered if
students just drank Coke because everyone else did or if
they really liked the taste. I asked students from the
learning circles questions about their drinking habits as it
pertained to soft drinks. I received responses that I
expecting and also answers that amazed me. The thing I
were most surprised about was that of the students I
surveyed, the ones that were most dissimilar to us were
from INCAT. The students there drank a lot of drinks.

Why do students drink Coke?

The bottom line for the
students surveyed was
they liked the taste.
Peer pressure did not
seem to have a
significant influence on
the decision of what
soda to drink. Students
also felt strongly about
they decision to drink
Coke Versus Pepsi.
There really does
appear to be a cola war.
