Coca-Cola has brought back an iconic campaign
3
'Share a Coke' was originally launched in 2013 and has returned with a new spin
3
Cans will have a wider range of names and be customisable this summer
One customer posted the nostalgic find on Instagram page New Food Spotter UK, with a video showing big 1.75l bottles of Coca-Cola going for £1.99 – that's 50p cheaper than the usual £2.49 retail price.
The same clip also showed 330ml cans selling for just 65p each.
Printed on the back of each can were popular names including Billie, Stephen, Louise, Henry and Charlie, bringing back memories of the original viral campaign.
First launched in 2013, the 'Share a Coke' bottles featured personalised names on the label, replacing the brand logo with names of friends and family.
Now, more than a decade later, they're back – and Coke has brought the campaign into 2025 with even more names and phrases to collect.
The return also includes nicknames and terms of endearment like 'My Bestie', 'My Bae', 'My Mate' and 'My Day One'.
Shoppers can even scan a QR code on packs to create their very own personalised virtual Coca-Cola can, thanks to a digital tool called Coke Memory Maker.
The feature lets users generate memes and videos with mates – all part of Coke's push to connect a new generation to one of its most iconic campaigns.
And while it's officially rolling out nationwide now, shoppers at Home Bargains are already bagging them.
As always with in-store stock, it can vary by location – so it's worth checking your nearest branch if you want to snap one up.
Coca Cola Christmas, over the years
When 'Share a Coke' was first rolled out in Australia, using the top names at the time, it quickly soared in popularity.
It then was rolled out to over 80 countries - and the re-launch will be another global campaign.
Earlier this week, Coca-Cola fans were raving over the company's version of one of the world's most recognisable drinks as it lands in UK stores for the first time.
Its Bacardi & Coca-Cola ready-to-drink beverage, which is a take on the famed Cuba Libre cocktail, is available now across major supermarkets.
Cuba Libres are usually made with Bacardi Rum, Coca-Cola, and lime, and the beverage maker hopes its pre-mixed drink will achieve the same taste as a freshly made cocktail.
The 250ml cans have an RRP of £2.30 and are 5% alcohol by volume (ABV).
The news comes after the drinks giant recently released pre-mixed 330ml cans of Jack Daniel's & Coca-Cola Cherry which available to purchase in Tesco.
Remember to compare prices
It is important go always shop around when buying items as you might find a cheaper alternative at another store.
Websites like Trolley and Price Spy let you compare thousands of products across different retailers to find the best price.
Price Spy even lets you see how much an item has cost over time, so you can see if the current price is a good deal.
A quick scan on the Google Shopping/Product tab will also bring up how much retailers are selling a certain item for.

David Beckham to guest edit edition of Country Life Magazine

The former England captain and businessman will join the editorial team for the October 22 edition of the magazine with the aim of celebrating what the countryside means to him and his family. He follows in the footsteps of Royal Family members who previously joined the editor-in chief Mark Hedges at the helm, including the King, the Princess Royal and the Queen. David Beckham and Mark Hedges (Editor-in-Chief of Country Life Magazine) photographed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show (Courtney Hockley/Country Life magazine/PA) Beckham said: 'I am honoured to have been invited to guest edit an edition of a magazine that I have always admired and read. 'I am really looking forward to working with the editorial team to produce an issue that will celebrate what the countryside and the great British landscape means to me and my family.' This comes as Beckham is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours, according to reports by The Sun. The football star regularly documents his life in the countryside by posting pictures and videos on his Instagram including him harvesting vegetables, gardening and his flock of chickens. Mark Hedges, Country Life editor-in-chief, said: 'I know he has a deep love of the countryside, which has grown since he retired as a professional footballer, although he is, of course, still extremely busy as a businessman and an ambassador for a host of causes, such as Unicef and The King's Foundation, as well as being co-owner of Inter Miami CF in the US and Salford City Football Club in the UK. David Beckham turns 50 this year (Victoria Jones/PA) 'As someone who is passionate about the countryside, I'm excited to see what his special commemorative issue will bring.' The one-off edition aims to highlight how the countryside has played an important part in Beckham's life. It will feature his favourite view, his best-loved recipe and spotlight his rural champions, including the craftsmen and woman who helped shape his home in the Cotswolds. Beckham, who played for his country 115 times, is the only Englishman to score at three different World Cups and his career included the treble-winning campaign of 1998-99, when Manchester United won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. He earned the third highest number of England caps of all time for the men's team, and was captain on 59 occasions. The former winger married Spice Girl Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, in 1999.

Ex-Top of the Pops presenter walked away from fame as she shares heartbreaking fear

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Sarah Cawood was once one of the most prominent TV hosts of the 90s, and was a key presenter on Top of The Pops. But her life has changed dramatically two decades after her rise to fame. Sarah's first major break came in the '90s when she worked on children's TV for Nickelodeon. Two years later, she secured a presenting role on Channel 4's The Girlie Show, alongside Sara Cox. The show, which ran for two series, followed a magazine-style format, featuring interviews, live music, and stunts. The programme aired at the late 'post-pub' slot of 11pm on Fridays, positioning itself as edgier than its competitors and capitalising on the 'ladette' culture that defined the decade. Sarah then joined the revamped Live and Kicking programme for its final two years on air. (Image: BBC) Her most significant role came with Top of The Pops. After her tenure ended, she went on to present various mini-series and one-off shows, including co-commentating the Eurovision semi-finals in 2007, 2009, and 2010, reports the Daily Record. However, around this time, many of the high-profile presenting opportunities began to dwindle. In 2014, Sarah joined Heart East Anglia's breakfast show team for a year before stepping back to focus on caring for her children. Earlier this year, the star opened up about her health struggles on social media, expressing concerns about her breast cancer returning. She was initially diagnosed in 2022, underwent successful treatment, and was given the all-clear. (Image: sunday mirror) She opened up to her followers about the lingering anxiety of cancer returning. In an open Instagram message, she said: "This is the reality of anyone who has had any kind of cancer. "I never struggled with health anxiety before but post-breast cancer it's all-consuming and it wears me out a bit tbh. I have been feeling tired since the new year began and although it's probably just life-ing, there's always a niggling worry that it's back. "All I can do is carry on doing healthy things, moving my body, practising mindfulness and living each day with gratitude that I got to breathe again this morning. So on we go! Batting away those intrusive thoughts and getting on with it. (Image: ITV) "To anyone either going through a cancer diagnosis or anyone who has recovered from cancer and feels like this: I've got you, and my inbox is always open. And remember, anything that doesn't feel right: get it checked out. Early detection is key." She also took a moment to reflect on her career in television, saying she'd come to terms with no longer being in the limelight. In another heartfelt post, she remarked: "Do I miss telly? I miss the money! And yes, sometimes I wonder what went wrong, but I'm here now so I'm going to make the most of it, however, that looks".
