Coca-Cola is bringing back an iconic campaign
3
Cans and bottles will have a wider range of names this summer
In 2013, Coca Cola's "Share a Coke" campaign saw customers able to buy a range of personalised cans and bottles.
Among the most popular products was the classic coke bottle, with the customer's name printed on the logo in place of the brand name.
On May 1, the new and improved launch will offer even more names to choose from, including nicknames, surname and pet names.
These will be particularly marketed towards the younger generation, according to the brand.
Buyers will be able to pick bottle with terms like 'My Bestie', 'My Bae', 'My Mate', 'My Fam' and 'My Day One.'
And, they can ever scan a QR code to create a totally unique tag.
Coca-Cola will then introduce a new feature of the campaign this summer - called Coke Memory Maker.
The online digital experience allows you to create memes with your friends and family and lets you make your own videos.
"Share a Coke" was first rolled out in Australia, where it quickly soared in popularity, before being rolled out in 80 countries around the world.
Advertising bosses received plaudits for their work on the campaign - with multiple awards at the Creative Effectiveness Lion Awards at Cannes.
Coca Cola Christmas, over the years
The re-launch will be another global campaign, according to Coca Cola.
Elodie Peribere, Senior Marketing Director UK & Ireland, said the company was "excited" bring back the iconic bottles.
She said: ''Share a Coke' is about celebrating the magic of human connections, one personalised Coca-Cola pack at a time.
"Returning after its initial popularity in 2013, we're excited to be able to give consumers more ways to connect over a Coca-Cola.
"Given the nation's fondness for nicknames, Brits have the chance to personalise a can with a surname, term of affection or nickname of choice, meaning people can create something totally unique to them."
It comes after fans raved over the company's new Bacardi & Coca-Cola ready-to-drink beverage, hailing it a "game changer".
The drink is a take on the famed Cuba Libre cocktail.
The 250ml cans have an RRP of £2.30 and are 5 per cent alcohol by volume (ABV).

The young woman says she now regrets taking part FEELING BLUE I was with Bonnie Blue during one of her sex stunts – what I saw left me going to therapy, I was so traumatised Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BOP house member and adult content creator has revealed she now regrets filming with Bonnie Blue. Julia Filipo, who is just 22, has revealed she filmed with the disgraced blonde. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Julia said she filmed alongside Bonnie Blue Credit: Spencer Clinton - Commissioned by The Sun 4 While she didn't participate in the event, she said she was there for the whole thing Credit: Instagram 4 Now, she reveals she was so traumatised she had to go to therapy Credit: Instagram While she didn't go into detail on the event that was filmed, she revealed she was by her side the whole time to support Bonnie by 'brushing her hair' and hydrating her through the stunt. However, in a recent podcast with her fellow Bop House member and OnlyFans creator Camilla Araujo, she said she was now doing therapy. In the clip, Julia asked Camilla if she regretted not coming to the event with her. Camilla replied: "I don't regret it. "I think everything happens for a reason, but I'm happy you made a cheque. I wish we could have. "But at the same time you're in therapy for a reason because what you saw traumatised you. "So I'm glad I got to spare my soul and mind of that." In another clip, Julia admitted to regretting joining Bonnie Blue. "if you do see a clip I'm actually like freaking out the whole time," she said. "I do regret it. I love her to death and our managers, but I'm so traumatised." 4 Bonnie has been slammed once again for announcing her next sick stunt Credit: Instagram/@bonnie_blue_xox Bonnie Blue speaks out after claims she 'put 1,056 men at risk' during sex marathon when first guy didn't wear condom Back in January, Bonnie Blue boasted that she had broken the world record for having sex with the most men in one day. The blonde, who has previously been branded "predatory" for romping with teenage lads said she bedded 1,057 blokes in just 12 hours. Julia's interview comes after Bonnie Blue recently hit headlines with her latest desperate stunt, immediately sparking disgust from people online. She revealed her next challenge during an interview on Kat Baker's podcast - leaving the interviewer lost for words as she did so. Who is Bonnie Blue? Born in May 1999, Bonnie - whose real name is Tia Billinger - grew up in a small Derbyshire village, and attended the Friesland School in the village of Sandiacre. She has two half-siblings - a sister and a brother - who have always remained out of the public eye. She never knew her biological father, and considers stepfather Nicholas Elliott her dad. Bonnie also became something of a dance star in her local area, and competed in the British Street Dance Championships alongside her sister back in 2015. She also had a part-time job at Poundstretcher as a teenager. After school, she began working in recruitment. In October 2022, Bonnie married Oliver Davidson, who she had started dating when she was just 15. Once they were married, they moved to Australia, where Bonnie continued working in recruitment. However, it was in Australia that she decided to pursue a different line of work, and tried her luck as a 'cam girl' - crediting Oliver for giving her the confidence to enter the adult entertainment world. She quickly made a name for herself in the industry, and was soon making £5,000 a week. But while her work life was going from strength to strength, her relationship was crumbling, and she and Oliver split after almost a decade together. She moved over to OnlyFans following her cam girl success, and once again found fame on there. She quickly became a favourite on the site, especially thanks to her "niche" of sleeping with young male students - such as when she bedded 158 students during Nottingham Trent University's freshers week in September 2024. Bonnie is now estimated to be worth £3 million, and makes around £600,000 a month on OnlyFans. Her family are also supportive of her work, with mum Sarah Billinger even claiming she's her daughter's PA, and helps clean up after Bonnie's events - as well as handing out condoms to young clients. In January 2025, Bonnie claimed to have broken the world record for the most amount of sex in 12 hours, after apparently sleeping with 1,057 men from 1pm to 1am at a secret London event. "What challenges do you have next?" Kat asked Bonnie during their conversation on The Kat Baker Show. With Bonnie replying that she's called it "Bonnie Blue's petting zoo", and said it will be taking place on June 15. Explaining the sickening idea, she said that she's going to be naked and tied up in a glass box, which would be "open for the public" to do basically whatever they want to her. When Kat asked "where" the box was going to be, Bonnie continued that she'll be in "the centre of London" but "in a house". Making the planned event even more repulsive, Bonnie told Kat that she wanted to beat her own record by "doing 2,000". The clip of Julia's interview received a barrage of comments from concerned fans. One person wrote: "I feel so bad for Julia, yes she agreed to it, but she probably didn't realise what she would be watching, she's only young. I hope the girl makes peace with it." Another commented: 'Not every viral moment is worth participating in." "I feel sorry for this girl," penned a third.
