For decades, Pratt Cola™ has been the standard for premium, organically produced soda around the world. Now, as humanity spreads into Mars, how does Pratt Cola bring Premium Flavor™ to Martians around the planet? Let’s take a peek behind the scenes of Pratt Cola into the production and transportation of Pratt Cola bottles headed for Mars.

The journey of a Pratt Cola bottle destined for Mars starts at their Martian Production and Bottling Center, located in the heart of America in Kansas. From here, artisan cola makers carefully mix together the Pratt Cola flavoring blend, a trade secret first written by Francis Pratt in the 1930s. Then, they carefully add organic brown sugar, providing not only sweetness but also Pratt Cola’s molasses flavor. Finally, they mix it with perfectly carbonated water, not too sharp but not too flat, before sealing the bottles for shipment.

Once each bottle is completed, they are loaded on pallets into one of Pratt Cola’s five Martian shipment rockets, which are autonomously piloted to travel from the Martian Production and Bottling Center all the way to Mars. The rockets then briefly orbit Mars, releasing pallets with parachutes to colonies around the planet, finally returning to Earth to be reused.

From there, Pratt Cola is distributed by each of their partner colonies to colonists like you! Using this complex, space-faring logistics system, Pratt Cola is able to provide colonists with the Premium Flavor that they are used to on Earth. In the coming months, Pratt Cola is planning to expand their Martian business, with the purchase of a new Martian shipment rocket and offering other sodas from their wide collection, like Squeezd™ Orange, Prize™ Lemon-Lime Soda, and Pratt Original Root Beer™. For now, though, the classic, Premium Flavor of Pratt Cola is sure to delight colonists on Mars, regardless of where they are!
