coke M5
Weird. Through all my fascination with the Coca-Cola bottle and logo (when asked why I drink Coke instead of Pepsi, if I don't really taste a difference, I answered, "I like the Coke bottle better.") I have never thought of Coke as a cool (kewl) beverage. It seems they are trying to change that with the introduction of some funkified deziney bottles. There is the main site, which focuses on the designers themselves and then there is the bottle gallery. Will we see it in stores? I doubt it.

Now the interesting thing is how I blogged this. I saw the original mention at JuliaSet but did a Google search to find some more references, perhaps a news story or another more media-ish blog post. Thus the above link to CoolHunting. Why did I do that? Is blogging so meta now that original source links and original opinion is not valid without references to where you heard about the source and examples of better writing on it? I knew someone out there would find out why Coca-Cola was doing this so I searched.

But really, considering how unlikely it will be that the three convenience stores in my neighbourhood will carry it, it's unlikely I will ever see the bottles. Maybe I should start going to the club district. Dodging bullets, knives and more than a few skanks should be worth a neato bottle or two.
