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

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

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.

I've seen :

Christopher
Nan ( my kids call my Mum "Nan" and while at Junior Boons baseball yesterday I got a can with "Nan" on it. )
Clair

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)

Wow! Might have to get myself a Coke!

lol - my daughter sells them at her work - and sounds like a common occurance - so you're not the only one !

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.

Darren doesn't get a coke can birth. Should change my name to Aarav

I like the custom ones. A facebook friend had a pic of him and one with the C word.

It's a lame promotion but I really do want a custom one done.

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.

Champ
James
Jacqui (gave that one to dad cos it's his ex)
Boss

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

Haven't heard of this thing

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!

When I went to the shop all I could see were 'Bort' ones.....

They have Fadi but not Lisa - Coke can stick it's promo up it's clacker

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