    Do people upvote these comments without checking anything? Does it sound reasonable for one of the largest companies in the world to be worth only $11 billion?

    The Coca-Cola Company is worth $296 billion. I don’t think they’ve been worth only $11 billion since the '80s.

      I’m going to stop using this site, as it currently states a market cap of “11,091,895,682” dollars. Thanks for the correction.

        That’s a US bottling company that buys from the actual Coca-Cola Company.

        The company was formerly known as Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and changed its name to Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. in January 2019.

        These bottling companies are the ones that beat people up in developing countries, not the actual manufacturer. They can be confusing.

          You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

          Well, I at least stand by my earlier point, that white collar crime is usually way worse than is ever reported.
