Advertisement. Coca Cola spends billions every year in advertising. Nobody would drink this otherwise.

What I don't get is how they can get away with it. I mean people are getting crazy over companies like Facebook but junk food companies get a free pass for some reason. Most Americans are even unable to see the link with obesity rates.

It used to be a cliche that American tourists were the only ones who would order water at cafes or restaurants in certain countries.

Well that's a chicken/egg problem right? Coke and Pepsi wouldn't have so much to spend on advertising if they weren't already very popular.
