Apparently, it dates back to when the drink was first invented - and, of course, it has to do with taxes.
The publication claims that when it first sold the beverage back in 1890, it was dispensed from a barrel.
Now, back in those days, most drinks were contained in barrels - with a tax being put on the ones consisting of alcohol.
And so, since Coca-Cola didn't want to be taxed, their barrels were painted red so that officials could tell them apart.
After that, the colour stuck and it has remained the same since!
Bet you didn't expect that, huh?
