Coca Cola

Coca-Cola opened its first bottling franchise in Mexico around 1921 with Grupo Tampico, and then Grupo ARMA. Monterrey-based FEMSA is currently the largest Coca-Cola bottler in Mexico, along with most of Latin America.

Mexican Coke is often sold in the United States due to the popularity of its different ingredient makeup. It is so well known that it can be sold in its authentic packaging
The Coca-Cola Company originally imported the Mexican-produced version into the U.S. primarily to sell it to Mexican immigrants who grew up with that formula. Mexican Coke was first sold at grocers who served Latino clientele, but as its popularity grew among non-Latinos, larger chains like Costco, Sam's club and Kroger began to stock it. It is now readily available at most grocery stores throughout the United States.
