These beverages may have social stigmas behind them, but are all widely recognized around the world. Even though a drink might be considered popular, it does not define past historical periods. With that being said, Standage believes that is possible to allocate world history into eras conquered by distinctive refreshments, but a single liquid cannot trace every period in time. While there are some flaws in Standage’s argument, Coca Cola has made its name in history but only because it demonstrates successful globalization, relatable experiences along with promoting patriotism, and it presents a global risk.
