Coke Zero Zero 7, New James Bond Packaging
To promote the latest Bond film, The Quantum of Solace (out mid-November in the States), Coca-Cola and Sony Entertainment shook hands on this numerically-convenient special edition Coke Zero Zero 7 bottle. The bottles will roll out next month, but only in the UK. According to the Coca-Cola brand director across the pond, the edginess of the Bond persona matches that of the Coke Zero identity. The core audience is 20-something men who dream of wearing more tuxedos and carrying a license to kill card. [via The Dieline]...Coca-Cola's Latest Soda Fountain Dispenses Over 100 Beverages
If the meager choices at a standard soda fountain aren't enough for you, there's hope in sight. Coca-Cola is testing a fountain system that can dispense more than 100 beverages from the same machine. [via Engadget]...Coca-Cola Light Bottles Designed by Roberto Cavalli
Coca-Cola Light is about to become the sexiest soda around. Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has created these three animal-print bottles for the beverage, giving it a sensual status symbol look. The limited-edition bottles will be available in Italy from September to December. Meanwhile, the rest of us will have to console ourselves with the boring old bottles of Diet Coke....Coca-Cola Vending Machine Robot in Japan
Photo from sanchome on Flickr. The only thing better than a regular robot is one that doubles as a Coca-Cola vending machine with scorpion-like pincher hands. The logistics are unclear—does it really vend cola cans? Is there a person tall and strong enough to wear this bulky suit? File this under times I wish I was a Japanese school girl outside Shibuya Station in Tokyo to see this weirdness walk by....Coca-Cola's 2-Liter Bottle Gets Curvier
Check it out: Coca-Cola is rolling out its classic contour bottle in a two-liter size, starting in Birmingham, Alabama, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Consumer tests reported that the shape facilitates pouring. (Fun fact: Did you know the contour bottle is one of few packages to receive a federal trademark from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office?)...Reform Groups to FCC: Get Rid of 'Advertainment'
More than two dozen public-interest groups are calling the Federal Communications Commission to address what they call "advertainment": TV programming they say is chock full of product placement. Led by the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood (CCFC), the movement aims to prevent TV programs from becoming "Trojan horses, carrying messages that would otherwise be criticized by the public or even deemed illegal": These organizations cite as cause for concern a Nielsen report indicating a 13 percent boost in product placement spots on network TV last year—over 25,000 placements in the top ten shows. If you watch American Idol on a regular basis, you saw over 4,000 product placements in 38 episodes this year, CCFC says. In May 2007, the...In Videos: 'The Unhuggables' Coca-Cola Commercial
Seeing your favorite soccer team score a goal while drinking a frosty bottle of Coca-Cola will probably make you want to hug someone. Even if that someone is an aging rock metal musician, or a man with chainsaws-for-arms, or covered in bees. Thus is the power of sports fanaticism paired with a refreshing carbonated beverage. Watch uncomfortable hug after uncomfortable hug, after the jump....Super Bowl: Food Commercials Wrapup
The Super Bowl is about so much more than football. It's also about commercialism! After the jump watch six examples of food-related commercials from yesterday's Super Bowl that range from "funny and witty" to, "That was kind of horrible, why did I sit through that?" Check out more Super Bowl ads at myspace.com....Coca-Cola Redesigns Packaging
Image from Under Consideration If you're a Coke head, you've probably seen a change in the soft-drink giant's packaging in the last few weeks. As old stock rotates off the shelves and new product takes its place, a cleaner look arrives with it. I'd wax poetic about how much I appreciate this simple, dignified aesthetic, but the design blog Under Consideration sums up my thoughts exactly: They've essentially done absolutely nothing. All the extra bits and doodads and extraneous graphics are gone. Classic coke imagery: the red, the ribbon, and the coke script. "Classic" is even in a simple lowercase sans serif. This is a confident design. Coca-cola is acknowledging that we all know the product, so just drink...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
