Trick shot videos are a dime a dozen online. Nearly every sport has a viral trick shot video where a slew of athletes perform cool and difficult tricks with their ball of choice.
Coca Cola wanted to join the trick shot fun, so they commissioned this video where Coke lovers Shane and Collin put on a Rube Goldberg-style trick shot performance, launching over 60 ice cubes perfectly into classic Coke glasses in less than two minutes.
The relationship between India and Pakistan has been tense for decades. As a part of their global happiness campaign, Coca Cola set out to change the status quo.
In malls in both India and Pakistan, Coke set up two special interactive vending machines with a camera and screen user interface similar to Apple‘s FaceTime.
The machine’s prompted shoppers in New Dheli to ‘make a friend in Pakistan’ while mall goers in Lahore were asked to meet someone from India.
Standing face to face, the strangers had to complete an interactive task–and inadvertently make a new friend–to get a free coke.
They call the special pop machines “Small World Machines,” as they bring a forum for people to meet and shrink the world.
“We are going to make smaller steps to resolve bigger issues.”
There’s no question that plastic bottles are a huge environmental issue. But many people don’t realize just how serious the situation is.
In Australia, for example, birds are starving to death. Not because there isn’t plenty of fresh food for them, but rather because of the plastic bottles that have littered the coastline and peppered the beaches.
The birds often confuse the bits of plastic with real food, and after a while, they literally starve to death with a belly fun of plastic.
Environmental group Greenpeace Australia wants to curb this serious matter by enacting a 10 cent recycling refund scheme found in countless other Western countries.
They claim the program has been proven to stimulate recycling, as a similar program in South Australia has been in effect for 30 years, “saving tens of millions of plastic containers from ending up in our beaches and oceans.”
But soft drink behemoth Coca-Cola has just won a court case stopping the recycling scheme from becoming law.
Asian Rocket News has gone viralviral over the weekend with this special video report. They claim to have discovered a specially engineered filter that is so powerful, it can separate the cola flavor and color from Coke.
The host demonstrates by pouring a fresh Coke through the OKO filter into a glass. All that comes out is a clear liquid. After tasting, the host says, “It just tastes like sugar water.”
Naturally, many viewers are skeptical of the authenticity of the video and the device. Still, in just two days, the video has collected over 2.1 million views. Read more here.
By now, you’ve probably seen Coca-Cola‘s latest propaganda campaign. Titled Coming Together, the commercial discusses how important the Coca-Cola company is to America, and also how obesity is a growing problem.
Naturally, they barely hint they soft drinks could be one of the leading culprits in the childhood obesity epidemic, and gush over their new seemingly ‘healthy’ options.
Thankfully, John Pemberton noticed how dishonest the new marketing campaign is, and made this much more honest version of the advert. Already, it has collected over 475,000 views, and is covered by HuffPost, SoftPedia, and ObesityHelp.
