What Kind Of Sorcery Lets You Filter Water Out Of Coke?
I have so many questions about being able to filter water out of Coke. I don’t even care why. But does it taste like Coke-flavorued water? Or water-flavoured Coke? Or maybe even just carbonated sugar water without the cola? The guy makes it seem like it taste disgusting and that’s the complete opposite of Coca Cola. Does that mean Crystal Pepsi is hiding inside Coke?
If You Want Me To Sing In Public You’ll Have To Do Better Than A Free Coke
Coca-Cola has long been associated with the holidays: from polar bears with questionable diets, to the myth that the company created our modern image of the man in red. But this year the company’s Christmas marketing efforts completely miss the mark. Instead of turning caffeine addicts into spies for a free bottle of sugar water, Coke vending machines in Europe are giving out free soft drinks in exchange for karaoked Christmas carols.
What’s It Like To Spend One Minute As James Bond?
Most marketing stunts are just plain annoying, but every once in a while one comes along that doesn’t make you completely hate the company behind it. Such is the case with this cross-promotion for Coke Zero and the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, which turned unsuspecting travellers into James Bond for one very exciting minute.

Here’s what would happen if those cute Coca-Cola polar bears really drank soft drink.
Clever Coke Ad Turns Any Magazine Into A Speaker Dock
iPhone users in Brazil who also subscribe to a magazine called Capricho recently got an extra bonus in one issue. But it wasn’t a promo code for a free iTunes track or anything like that. No, it was a special printed cover that turned the rolled up magazine into a passive amplifying speaker for their phone.
Sacrilege: Coca-Cola Will Soon Be Sold In Bottle-Shaped Eco-Friendly Plastic Bags
Apparently in many parts of Central America, expensive soda drinks like Coca-Cola are served up in plastic zip-lock bags — instead of glass or plastic bottles — so they’re more affordable. And so the iconic and highly recognisable shape of the Coke bottle isn’t lost, the sugar water maker has created these Coca-Cola bags as a low-cost alternative to its traditional packaging.
Huggable Vending Machine Will Never Love You
In Singapore, you can hug a vending machine and get a free Coca-Cola in return. Coke is, apparently, planning to roll the campaign out across southeast Asia. Would you hug a machine?
Turn Skinny Foreigners Into Fatties With Google’s Crazy Coke Ads
Google rolled out a new project on Friday to remake classic ads for the web. Basically it’s an attempt to show how Google can modernise powerful old-fashioned one-way branding for a new interactive era. Also? It’s got great troll-tential.
