The Coca-Cola plant in Sha Tin may look weather-beaten from the outside, but inside, a newly renovated gallery is sure to impress. From the history of Coke to the wisdom of green living, the exhibition has it all. Here our five junior reporters write about their visit on October 8, during which they learned a lot of trivia about the bubbly drink. The reports were compiled by Chris Lau

From Space Coke to Ice Coke, all of the company's memorable inventions were on display on the visitors' floors.
For hot summer months, Coca-Cola has invented a machine that produces bottled drinks with refreshing ice inside. Kept in a zero-degree Celsius vending machine, these iconic drinks come with simple instructions: twist, sip, enjoy. But in Hong Kong, there are only a few of these summer dream machines for sweltering citizens.
Aside from an impressive display of Coca-Cola products, the plant had great viewing platforms from which we were able to see several production lines. With 20 brands and more than 90 beverage flavours, this plant produces more than 60 million drinks a year.
