Coca Cola Mika Aluminum Bottle<\/p><\/div>\n

I recently came across an ebay listing for “Coke Mika” aluminum bottles.<\/p>\n

I was wondering if this was a new Coke flavor that I was completely unaware of. It turns out it’s a design created by international singer Mika. Apparently, Coca Cola commissioned the singer to create a design for their aluminum bottle.<\/p>\n

Mika and his sister Yasmine designed the aluminum bottle, taking inspiration from Japanese psychedelic posters from the 1960s. It’s a gorgeous bottle and clearly a collector’s item already, judging from the many ebay listings for it.<\/p>\n

The design fees paid by Coca Cola will actually be donated to H\u00f4pitaux de Paris<\/em> (Paris Hospitals) and H\u00f4pitaux de France<\/em> (France Hospitals).<\/p>\n

Apart from the very interesting design, what really intrigued me were the possibilities for “mass customized” aluminum bottles. If Mika could create an aluminum bottle design for a limited production run, I would imagine other artists, charitable organizations or even corporations could collaborate with Coca Cola and other aluminum bottle users to create their own co-branded bottles.<\/p>\n

Notice that the aluminum bottle reads “Coke Mika”. Coca Cola historically has historically been loathe to share its brand names with any other entities, so this is quite remarkable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
