#Coffee #Costa #CocaCola The deal adds to Coca-Cola's efforts to move away from fizzy drinks and toward healthier options for increasingly health-conscious consumers. The deal was unanimously agreed to by the Whitbread board to be in the best interests of shareholders, the company said in a statement. Whitbread acquired the chain in 1995 for £19 million, when it had only 39 shops C oca-Cola  bought coffee chain, Costa, for $5.1 billion including debt to extend its push into healthier drinks and take on the likes of  Starbucks  and Nestle in the booming global coffee market. The purchase from Britain's Whitbread of Costa's almost 4,000 outlets thrusts the world's biggest soda company into one of the few bright spots in the sluggish packaged food and drinks sector. Paying about 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) more than some analysts had expected, Coke will use its distribution network to supercharge Costa's expansion as it chases current coffee chain ...

#Addiction #Caffeine #CocaCola #Coffee #dependence Composition Caffeine – 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, to give it its chemical name – is a member of a group of naturally occurring substances called methylxanthines. These compounds are similar in structure to adenosines, naturally occurring molecules in our bodies which aid the onset of sleep. In its natural context, which is in tea and coffee plants, caffeine can kill or paralyze insects and is thus an effective natural pesticide. The beginning of the buzz The earliest recorded caffeine consumers were in China in the 10th century BC, when philosophers believed tea-drinking was "an indispensable ingredient to the elixir of life". Coffee-quaffing originated in Yemen in the 15th century. The exact amount of caffeine present in a drink depends on its growing conditions and preparation. While tea naturally has more caffeine gram for gram than coffee, there is less tea per cubic centimeter of a cup, leading to its weaker...

#StarWars #TheRiseOfSkywalker #Coke #CocaCola #Lightsaber By Igor Bonifacicengadget.com With  Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker  coming out on December 20th, you're bound to see a lot of products that tie into the upcoming movie, but few will probably be as unique as these Coca-Cola bottles. They feature main characters Rey and Kylo Ren, with lightsabers that light up anytime you touch the labels. If you're wondering what kind of space magic allows a bottle to light up, the answer is organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Yes, the same technology that likely powers the display on your phone or high-end TV -- and  inspired Engadget's favorite K-pop song  -- is at work here to allow Rey and Kylo Ren's lightsabers to come alive. The tech was created by a Berlin-based startup called  Inuru . Each bottle includes one of the company's smart labels. The labels feature a built-in printed battery and the diodes needed to illuminate something. By touch...

#CocaCola #NewCoke #StrangersThings #Disney #GalaxysEdge #StarWars,  Coca-Cola is hoping a failed product from the 1980s will help it go viral in 2019. The company is bringing back a limited number of New Coke cans in honor of the upcoming third season of "Stranger Things," in which the product is featured. "Stranger Things" creators Ross and Matt Duffers came up with the idea to bring New Coke back as a way to promote the show, which will start streaming on Netflix (NFLX)on July 4. The third season of the show takes place during the summer of 1985 — when Coca-Cola (KO) debuted a new recipe for its iconic beverage. So-called New Coke was a flop: Consumers reacted so poorly to the new drink that Coca-Cola pulled it from shelves after a few months. Bringing New Coke back is a way for Coca-Cola to "not take ourselves too seriously," Stuart Kronauge, president of Coke's sparkling business unit and senior vice president of marketing for Coca-Col...
