In Japan, the best selling soft drink is not cola, as (canned) tea and coffee are more popular.[99] As such, The Coca-Cola Company's best selling brand there is not Coca-Cola, but Georgia.[100] In May 2016, The Coca-Cola Company temporarily halted production of its signature drink in Venezuela due to sugar shortages.[101] Since then, The Coca-Cola Company has been using "minimum inventories of raw material" to make their signature drinks at two production plants in Venezuela.[102]
