Coca Cola

Coca Cola!!

I reseached about Coca Cola. Now, the Coca-Cola is the most famous for a long time carbonated drink. There are four kinds in Coca-Cola.They are Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola zero,No calorie Coca-Cola and No calorie Coca-Cola plus vitamin.Coca-Cola was developed by The doctor of the pharmacist in1886. More than 120 years,it was loved by people all over the world. And in 2008 June,No calorie Coca-Cola plus vitamin was released.

This becomes the first nourishment function food that for the woman who has feelings toward nourishment and beauty. While being a no calorie,we can taste Coca-Cola, and vitamin C is added to Coca-Cola of 0 kilocalorie. Coca-Cola includes a lot of sugar, and it is apt to seem that I am not good for a body, but Because it is the thing which this article thinks about nourishment, and was made, I think that I can drink it without minding it.

American’s funny CM
This animation is American commercial. There are five commercials in this.
There is an American interesting idea unlike Japan. Two are a commercial of a company as nationwide. It’s the last commercial that I was fascinating in particular. There is a man who pulled a cart at a supermarket. And shop assistants in the respective departments throw the goods into the cart by force. When he finished shopping and went in front of the register, a chocolate snack made the dunk shot last. I think there is boldness, and it's very good.
