Relax Internet, Coca-Cola Isn’t Being Sold In Bags

July 10, 2012 | Filed under Business | Posted by

If you saw this story earlier this week:

Sacrilege: Coca-Cola Will Soon Be Sold In Bottle-Shaped Eco-Friendly Plastic Bags [Gizmodo]

And the embedded video:

It turns out that it was a hoax. Coca-Cola has issued the following statement.

Currently, there is no presentation of Coca-Cola in plastic bags in any country of Central America (“Coca-Cola Bag”). Recently, a video was circulated on different social networks, which suggests the existence of this presentation in the market. In this regard, it is necessary to clarify that The Coca-Cola Company is not the author of the video and is not responsible for its dissemination. The Company currently distributes Coca-Cola in Central America countries in cans, plastic PET and glass.

    But….but….but it’s on THE INTERNET! It HAS to be TRUE!

    The other day I got an email that I won the Irish Lottery! And I don’t even remember entering it.

    I sent the link to Obama’s Campaign because I heard they NEED the money.

    On the other hand, it would be interesting.

    I’m still looking for a retailer that carries the 8 ounce aluminum “bottles” of Diet Coke. I see them in big hotels, but not in stores.

      I’m sure that Mayor Bloomberg is trying to get them to bring the miniscule 150ml cans they sell in Europe to the US.

        I always just thought of those as “mixer” cans. One of those, a couple of piece of ice, and a shot of whiskey, and you’re set.
