"I think it's going to be phenomenal," Fayard said. "We are the one company in the world that supports all of the Olympics. This is where the world comes together and we are the world's beverage company."

Fayard said Coke has admitted the countries it has had problems in and in every one of them, the company has tried to fix the problems. "They'll never all be right, but we've made tremendous progress," he said.

When Cramer asked how the beverage company's managed to get five million new Coke drinkers, Fayard explained that most people don't live in the U.S. and that 80% of Coke's business is in international countries. As people around the world increasingly move to urban areas and as emerging markets become wealthier, people want convenience and are increasingly buying packaged beverages, the CFO said.

In terms of currencies, 80% of Coke's income is from international markets, Fayard continued. "We use [an] option strategy but protect against downside when it comes to currencies," he said. Coke continues to reap the benefits as the euro goes higher.

Comments on Student Picks

Cramer discussed stocks with students who belong to the Georgia Tech's investment committee.

The first student recommended Nokia (NOK Quote), saying as more people across the world become obsessed with their cell phones, Nokia is the way to play the mobile phone craze.
