Okay, my bottle definitely does not have that on there. I feel like I've gotten a defective coke. It does not contain happiness.

*shakes head sadly*
poor cami, you have been deprived

Rylynne 02-12-2009 08:14 AM

OMG. I LOVE IT SLOW. 8DD;;

Here in the Phils, one of the newer Coke slogans is, "Buhay ko, Coke ko," which literally translates to, "My life, My Coke," or something. xDD;; And then the billboards and ads always have stuff coming out of the bottle. Like, vectors and smileys and "happiness". 8DD;;

Example : Clickie~

There's a TON more, but I'm too lazy to find the more awesome ones, since these are corny and don't show off all the pretty colors. ^^;;

slowtrain 02-12-2009 11:42 AM

that's so cute!
we have billboard ads here with swirlies and happy things coming out of the bottle, and the tv ads are all about sharing the happiness with everyone and being generally happy... but that little note about the happiness being released always makes me giggle a little

Rylynne 02-12-2009 12:09 PM

Aww, that sounds so adorable as well! :3 <3<3

Coke has funny ads~ 8DD;; And I think I read somewhere that Coke was invented by a guy who was on cocaine? o_O;; Not sure though. xDD;;

Sizzla 02-12-2009 12:37 PM

Well, Coke originally had cocaine in it... But they removed that from the recipe long, long ago. XP

Cora 02-12-2009 02:03 PM

It was never a large amount in the coke....but its where it gets its name from

Rylynne 02-12-2009 03:02 PM

Well, that makes sense. xDD;; I'm guessing then that they intentionally changed the second 'C' to a 'K' to cut ties with its former ingredient. 8DD;;

Sizzla 02-12-2009 03:05 PM

But it's official name is still Coca-Cola. XP It's on every Coke can I see. XD

Rylynne 02-12-2009 03:07 PM

True~ But Coke sounds better than Coca-Cola. xDD;; But that could just be because I'm lazy to say Coca-Cola every time. ^^;;

Oh! But Diet Coke isn't called Diet Coca-Cola. =O Lolz, just remembered. xDD;;

Siri 02-12-2009 03:09 PM

Wow, that's interesting... I never knew that about coke. O.o;;

slowtrain 02-12-2009 03:22 PM

this one's called diet coca-cola
but pretty much every other picture on the first page of my google search has it as diet coke...

ah inconsistencies, how you amuse me

Rylynne 02-12-2009 03:29 PM

I think every country has their own variation of the Coca-Cola cans one way or another. xDD;; Its design has gone through lots of changes and evolutions, despite maintaining its basic color scheme and design. =P

Like ours mostly says Coke and Diet Coke. xDD;; Filipinos are lazy, mebeh. 8DDD;;

slowtrain 02-12-2009 03:45 PM

I'm fairly sure here it's all Coca-cola and Diet Coca-cola... that photo I linked was the one I used as my reference, and I didn't even notice that all the other photos say diet coke until just then xD

Siri 02-12-2009 03:55 PM

I think they're going to change things around again so the cans no longer say Classic under normal Coke cans. xD;;

Rylynne 02-12-2009 04:12 PM

Our don't have the words "classic" on them anymore. xDD;; Coca-Cola here is really making use of the Filipino vector artists for their campaigns and designs. Heck, sometimes there's even band advertisements in the cans themselves. xDD;; Even Pepsi and other soda companies are following suit. ^^;; It's real funky and interesting though~ =P <3<3

Those are pretty!

Cora 02-12-2009 05:30 PM

Hmm...I mostly drink pepsi but I now have to take a feild trip to the pop isle next time I go shopping.

slowtrain 02-13-2009 12:16 AM

our coke cans don't say classic either...

I think...

not sure why...

Cami 02-13-2009 12:30 AM

My bottle says both Coke and Coca-Cola. The big lettering says Coca-Cola classic, then above that is "Get a FREE Coke" and on the back, "Coke original formula."

Somehow I doubt that last one is completely accurate.

Further, my bottle of Coke is apparently 2.5 servings. It's a normal sized bottle.

Seiki Nova 02-13-2009 12:38 AM

When I drank soda, I preferred Pepsi to Coke.

I'll have the entries updated tonight for the judges to work on : )

Siri 02-13-2009 12:47 AM

I'll probably see all of the entries tonight, but I won't be able to send in scores until tomorrow because I have exams and need to study. ;___;

I can't wait to see all of the avatars though~ x3

Cherry Who? 02-13-2009 12:57 AM

I probably won't be able to send in scores until tomorrow because... that's just how I am. >>

Cami 02-13-2009 01:19 AM

I probably won't send in scores until tomorrow because I'm not actually a judge.

Cora 02-13-2009 01:43 AM
