Santa Claus as an angry deity
January 12th, 2011 by DerekI really thought this was a real Coke commercial, right up until the end. It’s very well done.
Coke Bottle Soccer Balls
June 14th, 2010 by Derek
Look at this cool Coke bottle Soccer ball! I picked this up at a local supermarket here in Ontario for $.99. No, wait I think it was 2 for $2.49 at the time. Well anyway they’re on sale now for $.99 everywhere. This is the first one in a series. I’ve got a couple of different ones now. This isn’t the greatest picture perhaps, but you get the idea. If you’ve read my post Read more »
2010 Olympic Coke Bottle
May 17th, 2010 by Derek
Here’s a photo of the light-up Coke bottle given away at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. Thanks to Larry for sending my the photo! These bottles are quite rare. I found a YouTube video of the bottle as it flashes. A quick check on eBay reveals that these cool bottles are selling for upwards of $40. Apparently Coca-Cola gave away 50,000 of these items. I have yet to see one in person, however.
Diet Coke with Bacon is it real

Diet Coke with Bacon flavour
I blogged about “Diet Coke with Bacon flavor” a few months ago. I was totally making that story up about how it tasted. Turns out that was one of my more popular posts!  I guess a lot of people were fooled. I found this photo on the net of Diet Coke with Bacon a while ago and decided to have some fun with it. I suspect that some graphic-arts student put it together for a laugh.
 There are however a lot of real Diet Coke flavors. Here’s a list:
- Diet Coke Cherry
- Diet Coke Black Cherry Vanilla
- Diet Coke Raspberry
- Diet Coke Lemon
- Diet coke Lime
I didn’t mention all the other variants of the recipe like Diet Caffeine-free Coke, of Diet Coke Plus.
Ghost Busters Coke can
April 17th, 2010 by Derek
Who Do You Intend to Call, may I ask?
There’s a Coke can that I wish I had. It’s the Ghostbusters promotional Coke can. They were issued for both Ghost Buster movies and I missed seeing the cans both times. Davide Andreani from www.ad-informatica.com/davideandreani has a great post showing a lot of these collectible Coke cans.
When I find a photo I can use, I’ll put it here.
The Ghost Buster movies were great. Bill Murray is great. Do you remember Sigourney Weaver’s huge 80′s hair?
