The Coca-Cola Company

Delicious Happiness

Just before the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games begin, Coca-Cola will be sharing its uniquely Chinese message of "Delicious Happiness" with people around the world, on commemorative bottles and cans in more than 150 countries.

The message of 'Delicious Happiness' was derived from the 'transliteration' of the Coca-Cola trademark from English lettering to Chinese characters. When Coca-Cola was first introduced in China,in 1927, these Chinese characters were chosen by Company officials to phonetically articulate Coca-Cola and were literally interpreted as 'Delicious Happiness' by China’s citizens.
