I think Apple is more financially successful while Coke is a powerhouse everyone can have a coke. Everyone around the world can enjoy it. Around the world millions of cans are consumed daily. Coca Cola is a super power company. Include all of the other beverages that Coca Cola makes and the company is the most influential company in the world.

Coca Cola IMO.

Both Apple and Coca Cola are successful in their respective market fields/industries.

Apple has been around for 30 odd years: a boom, to bust to boom again company. Coca Cola has been around for 120 years: selling soft drinks around the world. Coca Cola sells to more people worldwide whereas Apple sells mainly to cashed up people in the western world and wealthy people in developing nations. Coca Cola has been a market leader for its entire 120 year existence eclipsing Schweppes and other soft drink companies in sales , popularity/brand recognition and market share.

Apple has been a market innovator turned leader in the last 10 years mainly due to the popularity of the Ipod, IPhone and now Ipad. Sony, Microsoft and Samsung and others provide Apple with plenty of competition. Apples share price has risen to over $600 per share due to Apple popularity and hype.

Apple is worth more than Coca-Cola, but Coca-Cola is a safer company if you will. A single year can change Apple with bad sales or depreciation of product due to to many different circumstances. Apple's business 'requires' new product after new product and it 'requires' it to catch on. My point is Apple can't sustain without constant flow of rehashing their products and every couple of years a new never before seen product will appear and be risky enough to teater-totter a company for a year or so and if another bad decision leads to another then market cap falls big time. Not that this would likely happen to Apple (who have GRIP on the market) but they're not immune either.

Coca-Cola is maybe the most immune product in all market evaluation. It is the most recognizable brand in the world followed semi-distantly by Nike; plus anyone can afford a can of coke. The Coca-Cola Company has been around for generations and is in the group of least likely to falter due to low sales (This will never happen). Coca-Cola will be around in 100 years, imo that's practically guaranteed. Apple (or any other company comptetitor) probably won't be.

I have no business sense but I think it's pretty common sense to understand that Coca-Cola has a foothold on their market more than any other company in their respected field.

it's easy, both are food, but apples are healthier

coca-cola

I'd say Coca Cola- but they're both obscenely valuable

Coke would be more valuable if they still used cocaine.

I'd so take a sniff sip of that.

Coca-Cola of course.

Apple is just a overpriced toy if you ask me :P
