    Isn’t the coke syrup actually made in the US and shipped to the world, where it’s mixed with local water?

      Yep, you’re right. Coca-Cola ships the concentrate (not exactly syrup) from a few US facilities to local bottlers worldwide. The concentrate contains the secret formula ingredients, while local bottlers add sweetener, carbonated water, and handle packaging. That’s why boycotts can be effective - the high-margin concentrate business is where most of thier profits come from.
