$\text{COLA MINI CASE:}$ Fizzy Cola is a manufacturer of sodas that has come to be regarded as a symbol of American values and society and has traditionally supplied beverages to the United States Armed Forces. Given that Islamic law prohibits the consumption of alcohol, Fizzy Cola sees a huge market potential for its refreshing, non-alcoholic beverages in the Middle East.
