Serious Reads: The Coke Machine by Michael Blanding
Even if you eschew sodas of all sorts, opening a Powerade, Nestea, Odwalla, or Dasani bottle (among many others) still supports the Coca-Cola Company. This global soft-drinks brand is colossal, with a net revenue of over $30 billion in 2009. And the company has come up against some serious backlash, both for its products' nutritional values and for its questionable actions overseas. Michael Blanding explores these controversies in The Coke Machine: The Dirty Truth Behind the World's Favorite Soft Drink.Video: Special Coke Machine Dispenses More Than Just Soda
Sure, it's a naked attempt at viral video. And, sure, we're playing into it. But it's a fun spot, nonetheless. Pizza from a vendo? Yes, please. Vid, after the jump....Weird Food-Related Collections
This is my collection of international Coke cans. (What, is that weird?) It's the kind of relic from my childhood that I forget about, now living three thousand miles from the house I grew up in, until I walk into my bedroom and realize—oh, right—one entire wall is lined with cans of Coke. The collection started when I was about nine years old. My family was flying back from the East Coast, and my older brother realized that the soda a flight attendant had brought him had a German label. That familiar Coca-Cola can—but in a different language! Awesome, I said to myself. I bought that can off him for a dollar. (My ever-entrepreneurial brother let me have nothing...In Videos: New Coke Ads
One involves a contagious yawn in a bizarro animated world inside the vending machine. The other, in a library where a pair of flirts exchange fluids in the form of Coke sketches on their arms. Both weird, but moderately captivating. The videos, after the jump....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]...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....In Videos: World Record Mentos and Diet Coke Explosions in Leuven, Belgium
The UK's Telegraph has a good set of pictures from the record-breaking set of simultaneous explosions of Diet Coke and Mentos in Leuven, Belgium. Or as it's known in Belgium: Coca Cola Light. Several videos of the event have appeared online - the best we could find are after the jump....Coke Zero Tongue Piercings: Ouch!
Now, that's true love. Or "advertasting" as the Coca-Cola crew is calling it. Tongue-piercing parlors in Brazil will stab you for free on behalf of the beverage moguls, and conveniently, a cold Zero should mitigate the soreness during the first week's swelling period. Still no signs of a Cherry Coke Zero option. [Via Neatorama]...Wal-Mart Is Selling Mexican Coke Too
