Coke - The drink with a name..

Postby A Mum » Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:27 am

Coke - The drink with a name....lol.

Think it deserves a thread of it's own !! :D

So far I've only seen cans, but I pressume bottles have names as well??

What names have you happened to buy/see.

So far I've seen.

Mate
Bro
Mum
Pop
Sis
Bestie

Pretty cool marketing idea I think - everyone's talking about it - and the kids especially love it.
Very clever.

O:)

Seen plenty of different names, I actually found myself one day looking through a few bottles to find my name......only to realise what a idiot that must look like & just picked up any bottle, lol.

I did take a photo of my sisters & my name side by side.
Ryan & Erin. Have also seen my little girls name Ashtyn, shortened to Ash (more likely for Ashley though)

I'm wishing I hadn't drunk my bottle now, and had kept it sealed instead. An empty bottle in my Pool Room just looks like I haven't tidied it properly.
Can you guess where I'm calling from, the Las Vegas Hilton...

It's a lame promotion but I really do want a custom one done.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

You'll need scissors and glue to fix up a custom one.

That's the list of the 150 names (only appear on the 600ml bottles). The cans have Bro, Sis, Mum, Dad etc. only on them.

If you look on the coke site, if you go to Marion shopping centre on certain dates they have a coke stall where you can get personalized cans if you are that desperate to get one.

Seems like quite clever marketing. Wouldn't cost much, unlike a competition, and its getting quite a bit of publicity.

What a load of Bollocks. When I see Cans with 'Booney' or 'Gingernuts' or 'just quietly' on it then I'll chortle. Those evil bastards in marketing! We've got girls at our work collecting coke bottles and you don't even get a deposit on em up here!

Not only do they have my name, but it's also the example they use on the TV add.
Thankfully "Matt" seems reasonably common...
