We make the greatest soda in the country and some of the best fried chicken too! Millions of people around the world drink Coke and Chick-Fil-A is a national favorite as well. Those alone warrants us bragging rights! On top of that we are also home to Home Depot and UPS, two other national household brands.
2. We have two of the best collegiate football teams in the country : UGA & Georgia Tech

We love our Georgia Tech and UGA football teams--and so does the rest of the country! While many a Georgia person is either a UGA or a Georgia Tech fan, we will gladly claim the bragging rights of being the home base for both teams.
3. Everyone loves our southern hospitality

Atlanta is a foodie’s dream with international tastes. Restaurants here love to take a twist on traditional southern cuisines like organic, gluten free fried chicken at Chick-A-Biddy's in Atlantic Station or this smoked seafood platter at Lure in Midtown.
