Rebecca Prescott22 Nov 2011

As Coca-​Cola marks 125 years of business, the company is thanking everyone who has helped make the milestone possible. Coca-​Cola is thanking Terre Haute (US) – the birthplace of the Coca-​Cola glass contour bottle – with a community celebration.

Coca-​Cola Refreshments senior vice president of sales Mark Rahiya, said: “Today’s moment of thanks is about the people of Terre Haute, past and present, who have helped Coca-​Cola reach this milestone. In 1915, innovative Hoosiers made an important contribution to Coca-Cola’s history by creating the iconic Coca-​Cola contour bottle. Today we celebrate everyone in Terre Haute and Indiana who loves and enjoys Coca-​Cola.”

The Coca-​Cola Company will donate 25¢ for every six-​pack of 8oz Coca-​Cola contour glass bottles purchased now through December 31 to United Way of the Wabash Valley.

Coca-​Cola has also partnered with the Vigo County Public Library to install a Coca-​Cola and Hoosier archive exhibit as part of an ongoing effort to encourage educational programmes for students of all ages around the world, the company said.
