Do Different Countries Have Different Taste Buds?

Have you ever had a drink of Coca-Cola?
Did you assume that all Coca-Cola drinks are the same?
Think again.

Coca-Cola actually differs between countries. The Coca-cola UK website, it says that Coca-Cola tries to tailor their drink for the tastes of certain countries. Is this because people in different countries have developed certain taste preferences by being exposed to certain foods, or is it social? Do people in certain countries like what they like because the people around them like it? Is there even a difference or do we just assume that there is and so even though in reality things are the same, we taste them differently?

Hmm, lots of questions to ponder. While wondering, maybe you could head off to The World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta, GA and check out ‘Taste It!’ where you can sample different sodas from around the world. Then you could be the judge.
