The first US company to be come a global partner of the Expo. This company’s presence is definitely global—there are some parts of the world where one does not have access to clean water, yet can find a can of Coke. In a classic US-UK partnership, Coca-Cola and Tesco have joined forces in the green movement, launching a local campaign to reduce packaging, energy use and plastic shopping bags. Don’t forget to pick up a special Haibao commemorative bottle!


I have read good reviews elsewhere about this pavilion but honestly cannot see what all the fuss is about. I'm sure children will enjoy the cartoon "fairytale" about making coca cola but it isn't particularly interesting for adults. There is an "over-the-top" emphasis on the fact that Coca Cola should be served cold. You are given a (very small, very cold) coke bottle sample on the way out. Staff are at great pains to show you how to open it. People ignore them anyway and shake the bottle. The floor at the entrance is extremely sticky as a result. Go if there is a small queue but not worth a long wait.
