Brands often come up with the most incredible ideas as part of their advertising. Coca Cola has actually had some of the greatest advertising campaigns in history. Did you know they are pretty much responsible for our modern ideas of what Santa Claus looks like?
Another great campaign they had was “I’d Like To Give The World A Coke”, that played on the then-popular song “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”.
More recently, Coke’s take on polar bears has had enormous success and become a major part of their advertising, especially through the winter. These wonderful beasts have become a recognizable part of the holidays.
So let’s have a look at some of the great Coca-Cola bears that are available. These are great for animal lovers and Coca-Cola collectors alike! Which ones are on your wish list?
