traveled to tanzania a country in east africa known for its incredible landscapes. and the best so far is in africa. however what this promotional film does not specify is that tanzania is also the incredible land of coca-cola. here everyone waits for red and white buses who looks alongside reginald white walls and in the playgrounds children play around red and white the logo is everywhere so off there a while you was stopped noticing it. the good news is that in this country you can still find coke bottles made out of reusable glass but this will soon be over.
